Bray North of 200,000

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Konstantin Puchkov reraised to 3,000 after an early-position player had opened to 1,100, and Matthew Bray made the call on the button. The original raiser folded, and the two took a flop of {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} heads up. Puchkov check-called 5,100, and the turn came {5-Hearts}. Puchkov checked again, and Bray bet 14,000. Puchkov folded after about a minute of thought, and Bray is among the chipleaders here in the Brasilia.

Trickett Toppled

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Sam Trickett (from Day 1c)
Sam Trickett (from Day 1c)

Sam Trickett's chair is empty.

Speaking to a few players they were able to give us the details that saw one player open to 1,200 before Trickett flatted with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Pieter de Korver came along with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and so did Will Failla as the flop landed {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

Trickett got the last of his short stack into the pot and de Korver made the call. The turn landed the {5-Clubs} to see Trickett drawing dead as the {4-Spades} completed the board on the river.

Kroon Picking Up Where He Left Off

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Mark Kroon
Mark Kroon

Mark Kroon, ended Day 1c as our chipleader, and it looks as if the momentum is continuing. The flop of {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} was on the board and Kroon led out from under the gun for 2,525. A player in middle position made the call and the player in the cutoff reraised to 6,000. Both Kroon and the middle position player called the raise.

Kroon led for 10,025 on the {4-Hearts} turn. Both the middle position and cutoff players called. Kroon continued with his story and bet 10,575 on the {6-Diamonds} river. The player in the middle position was thinking about a call which would only leave him with about 6,950 behind. He eventually made the call and the player in the cutoff folded.

The player in middle position announced "king" and showed the red king. Kroon told him he was rivered and showed the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. His opponent said, "I knew you had the worse hand." Kroon replied, "I had a flush draw, a pair and I am the chip leader. I am supposed to hit that." His opponent agreed, as they shared a good laugh.

Rough Start for Ivey

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey came into today with a very healthy stack of 119,650, but the first level hasn't gone well for him, as we just caught him losing a pot to drop him to 70,000.

Ivey started the action with a raise in middle position to 1,300, and Chad Winters defended his big blind as the lone caller. The flop came down {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Winters check called a bet of 1,600 from Ivey. Both players checked on the {j-Diamonds} turn, and the river pair the board, coming the {j-Spades}.

Winters only took a few moments before putting out a bet of 2,600, and Ivey immediately grabbed two orange T5,000 chips, tossed them into the pot, and announced "eight" as they were in the air. This meant a raise to 8,000, and Winters instantly called.

Ivey confidently turned over {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for trip jacks, but it was no good, as Winters held {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a straight. Ivey grimaced a bit before tossing his hand towards the dealer, then quickly counted his chips, and got ready for the next hand.

Pawel Zawadowicz opened the preflop action with a raise to 1,000. The small blind called, and Angel Guillen called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and both blinds checked Zawadowicz continued for 1,500, and only Guillen called. Both players checked the turn when the {j-Clubs} fell, and then the {q-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Guillen led out for 4,400, and after thinking a minute, Zawadowicz folded.

Nguyen Over Ahmed

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Owais Ahmed raised to 1,100 from the cutoff seat and got two callers including Truong Nguyen playing from the button and the big blind. The flop came {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and when checked to Ahmed bet 1,700. Nguyen raised to 4,800, the big blind folded, then Ahmed declared he was all in and Nguyen called with the last of his stack.

Ahmed had {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for an open-ended straight draw, but Nguyen actually had a better open-ender with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and river the {3-Diamonds}, making Nguyen's king-high hand best and knocking Ahmed back under 20,000.

Vamplew and Jejelowo Dueling Early

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
David Vamplew on Day 1c.
David Vamplew on Day 1c.

We caught up with A.J. Jejelowo involved in a pot with David Vamplew on a flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Jejelowo was in the small blind and he led for 1,500. Vamplew just called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Jejelowo slowed down with a check. Vamplew put out a bet of 3,200 and that was enough to get a fold from Jejelowo.

While it wasn't the biggest pot, both Jejelowo, who took down the 2011 WSOP Regional Circuit Championship and made a deep run in the 2012 Main Event, and Vamplew, who took down the EPT London in 2010 and has three WSOP final tables on his resume, are known for being very agressive players and we are likely to see some fireworks between the two players before their table breaks.

Mizrachi Falling

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante
Michael Mizrachi
Michael Mizrachi

We arrived at the table to see the player under the gun open to 1,100. The action folded around to the small blind who called, as did Michael Mizrachi, who was on the big blind.

The flop came down {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}, as all three players checked their options. With the {2-Diamonds} falling on the turn, Mizrachi led out for 2,200, which was called by both players. The {10-Hearts} was revealed on the river, as the decision checked to the player under the gun, who made it 3,500 to go. Only Mizrachi called, but mucked his hand, after his opponent showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} to win the pot.
