Gee Can't Put Nail in Coffman

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

"All in… re-all in… re-all in!"

So intoned the dealer over at Table 368 just now as John Coffman pushed all in for 29,400, Yueqi Wang called all in for a little less, then Steve Gee reraise-shoved over the top, the three all sitting side-by-side in seats 1 through 3. It folded back around, and when the trio tabled their hand all showed pocket pairs:

Coffman: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Wang: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Gee: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

"I'd like to use my one time now," said Wang as the dealer spread the {3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. The {6-Clubs} then appeared on the turn, and while Coffman began calling for a club, a standing Gee said "no, no… gimme a red card!"

The dealer then burned a card and delivered the river… the {10-Spades}! It wasn't a club, but Coffman was delighted nonetheless as the ten preserved his tournament life. Wang wished all good luck before departing, and Gee sat back down somewhat dejectedly.

"It's gonna be a long day," said Gee.

Le Gets Paid

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We caught up to Tuan Le in a pot with Zheng Hu on a board of {10-Hearts}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. There was already more than 120,000 chips in the pot. Le was first to act and he put out a huge bet of 65,000, which was roughly half of his remaining stack.

Hu didn't think too long. "How much is that?" He asked. "Is it this much? Is it this much?" he asked Le twice pointing to the stack of T5,000 orange chips he had in front of him. "Alright nice hand," he said tossing in the call.

Le flipped over {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts} for the nuts and that was good to take down the pot.

"Nice flop." Hu said to Le after the hand.

"Yeah," Le replied. "That's one of the better flops for my hand."

After that hand Le is close to 340,000 chips and looks to be the chip leader at his table.

Set for Shaposhnikov

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Roman Shaposhnikov raised to 3,600 from under the gun, and Matt Jarvis was the only caller. The flop came {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and Shaposhnikov led out for 5,800. Jarvis thought for a minute, then called. Both players checked the {k-Clubs} on the turn, and the river was a {10-}. Shaposhnikov bet 13,600, and Jarvis went into the tank. After four minutes, he pushed out a call, and Shaposhnikov turned over {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a set. Jarvis mucked his cards, and Shaposhnikov took the pot.

Mizrachi Back To It

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Michael Mizrachi has sat down at Day 3 and done what he's been doing all tournament: winning pots. He hadn't even finished stacking his chips before he got into a pot with Robert Voigt. We caught the action on the flop, which read {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Voigt fired out 8,000, and Mizrachi quickly called. The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Voigt continued to fire, this time for 12,000. Mizrachi quickly announced raise, and tossed out a bet of 28,000 total. Voight thought for a few moments before kicking it in, and Mizrachi got off to a good start.

Kroon Picks Up Where He Left Off

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Picking up the action in the midst of the preflop raises, we arrived at the table as Mark Kroon was facing a reraise.

He was in the big blind and had committed 12,100, while an opponent in early position had 34,100 in front of him committed to the pot. Kroon reraised all in, his opponent called all in for about 105,000, and Kroon tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. His opponent was well behind with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and Kroon had no sweat at all as the board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Welcome to the Jungle, Man

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Dan Cates
Dan Cates

After what appeared a button raise by Daniel "jungleman12" Cates and a big blind call from Robert Mizrachi, there was a small pot in the middle when the dealer spread the flop {4-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Mizrachi checked, and Cates bet 3,200. Mizrachi then check-raised to 7,100, and Cates didn't waste much time before calling.

The turn was the {K-Clubs}. This time Mizrachi bet 9,200, and once again Cates only took a couple of seconds before calling the bet.

The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and Mizrachi patted the felt to check. Cates leaned forward to look at Mizrachi's remaining stack, then looked back at the board before setting out a stack of chips as a bet. Mizrachi sat quietly for about 30 seconds, then asked the dealer to clarify Cates's bet amount — 30,200.

Mizrachi tanked a while longer, then finally cut out the calling chips and set them forward. Cates quickly tabled his hand — {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a Broadway straight — and Mizrachi shook his head disgustedly as he tossed his cards to the dealer.
