Brett Richey on Day 1c.

Brett Richey opened from middle position to 4,000 and he received one call from the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades} and the player in the big blind check-called a bet of 3,600 from Richey.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {3-Spades} on the river. On the river, the big blind player check-called another 5,600 bet from Richey. Richey showed {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and that was good enough to take down the pot when the big blind mucked.

Appelbaum Climbs Back with Aces

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Brian Appelbaum opened to 4,700 and was flatted by the player next to act before the button moved all in for 45,100. The small blind Sterling Savill flatted before the action returned to Appelbaum who moved all in for roughly 160,000.

Following a fold from the initial caller, Savill went into the tank before folding and stating he had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Appelbaum: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Appelbaum's aces held true to see him climb to 265,000 in chips.

Griffin Keeps On Going

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ashton Griffin may not be a name that your common poker fan knows, but anyone in the poker community knows Griffin as one of the best online and live players in the world, and he is building up a big stack here on Day 3. We caught a small hand to give insight on his aggressive ways. The board read {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, and after it was checked to him, Griffin fired out a pot sized bet of 15,000. His opponent thought it over for about 30 seconds before shaking his head, and sending his cards towards the dealer.

Once he finished stacking those chips, we pegged Griffin at 345,000.

Ramos Takes From Hille

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Elisabeth Hille raised to 4,000 in early position and was called by the player in the cutoff and Felipe Ramos on the button.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Hille continued for 6,500. Both of her opponents called to see the {K-Spades} turn. Action checked to Ramos this time and he bet 10,600. Only Hille tagged along to see the {J-Hearts} river, which she checked. Ramos bet 13,800 and after about 90 seconds in the tank, Hille called.

Ramos tabled {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight, Hille mucked, and Ramos took down the pot.

Moffatt Can't Save Chan

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Johnny Chan
Johnny Chan

Tuan Le opened the action with a raise to 4,500 from under the gun. Action folded all the way around to Johnny Chan in the small blind who moved all in for his last 45,000 chips. Then, from the big blind, Colin Moffatt moved all in as well with a covering stack. Action was back on Le who tanked for about 30 seconds before releasing his hand.

Chan: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Moffat: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} keeping Chan in the lead. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and Le was visibly upset upon seeing the card. "You're lucky he moved all in, otherwise I call you Johnny," Le said, explaining that he had folded ace queen.

"I know," Chan said, patting Moffat on the back. "Thanks for saving me!"

But it wasn't over yet. The {7-Hearts} hit the river, giving Moffat the lead with his rivered full house. With that, Chan was eliminated from the tournament and he made his exit from the Brasilia room.

Zaucha Takes One from Mortensen

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Carlos Mortensen raised to 5,400 from the cutoff, and action folded around to Brandan Zaucha in the big blind. Zaucha thought for a minute, and as he did so, Mortensen put on his sunglasses. Zaucha chuckled and asked the 2001 Main Event Champion, "So now it's serious? Now I call," and he pushed chips forward. The flop came {2-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, and Zaucha checked. Mortensen continued for 6,600, and Zaucha called. Both players checked the {9-Hearts} on the turn, and then the {3-Spades} came on the river. Both players checked again, and Zaucha turned over {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for second-pair on the flop. Mortensen slid his cards to the dealer, and Zaucha took the pot.

After the hand, Zaucha was up to 134,000, while still has 325,000.

DeWitt Move Benefits Cody

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jason DeWitt
Jason DeWitt

We were passing by the table where Jake Cody and Jason DeWitt are sitting side-by-side to discover the pair embroiled in a preflop battle. Cody had the button and DeWitt was in the small blind, and by the time we arrived Cody had 11,400 slid out in front of him while DeWitt had raised to 25,500. Cody then made it 44,800 to go, and after sitting for a few moments DeWitt declared he was all in and Cody called immediately to put his entire stack of 190,100 at risk.

Cody flipped over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} while DeWitt kind of reluctantly turned over his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. The flop came {3-Spades}{Q-Spades}{8-Spades}, pairing DeWitt's queen and providing a bit of a sweat for Cody even though he had the spade draw covered. But the turn was the {7-Diamonds} and river the {9-Hearts}, and suddenly Cody has surged back up toward 400,000 while DeWitt takes a big hit to tumble down under 25,000.

Chen Doubles Opponent; Still Crushing

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Chun Chen
Chun Chen

The player in middle position moved all in for his last 18,700 in chips, and was called by Chun Chen in the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way, before both players tabled their cards.

Chen: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to see Chen’s opponent flop a queen, and get a much needed double up. Chen didn’t look too worried after the hand, smiling along with his opponent, as he still sits as one of the bigger stacks in the room.
