Language Barriers

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 20,000 ante

Poker's an international game, but sometimes it's not an international language.

Olaoluwa Okelola shoved all in against an opponent on a flop of {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Someone called the clock while the player was tanking, and the tournament director was having quite a time trying to let the player know he his time had run out.

"Can anyone interpret in Italian?" the supervisor asked with exasperation.

Swedish player Fredrik Halling and Spanish player Raul Paez did their best to get the point across to the man that he had 20 seconds to act on his hand. Finally, Halling began counting down on his fingers. The player evidently got the point, as he stood up and folded his hand.

Ramage Quietly Chipping Up

The Price is Right

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Oliver Price and Ryan Riess checked on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. David Stephens fired out 50,000, and while Price was in the process of check-raising all in for 276,000, Stephens left the table momentarily. He returned to his seat as Riess entered the tank, and eventually Riess folded.

Stephens snap-called.

Stephens: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Price: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Stephens was in great shape to score the knockout, until the turn and river came {q-Clubs}, {8-Hearts} respectively to give Price a straight. He more than doubled to 600,000 chips, while Price fell to 1.125 million.

Riess announced that he folded kings with the {k-Clubs}, and folded kings preflop on Day 3 only to be shown two aces.

Jaffe Wins Lengthy Hand

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jonathan Jaffe and Adam Sherman were part of a three way flop that read {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}. The first player checked to Jaffe, who fired out 32,000. Sherman folded, and the other player folded to make it a heads up pot. The turn was the {k-Clubs}, and Jaffe checked this time to Sherman, who fired out 65,000. Jaffe tossed in the call, then things got interesting.

The {6-Clubs} came on the river, and Jaffe thought it over for about a minute before suddenly announcing all in. The pot had about 275,000 and each player was sitting on 500,000 so it was quite an overbet. Sherman immediately rolled his eyes when he heard the bet, and he went deep, deep into the tank. He thought it over for at least six minutes, talking to himself about what Jaffe could have most of the time. All the while, Jaffe sat still without moving a muscle. It hardly looked like he was even breathing he was so still, and Sherman was unable to get a read on him. He continued to talk the hand through, when someone at the table finally called a clock.

As soon as the floor came over, Jaffe suddenly stood up to stretch his legs out and crack his neck. He then sat back down and assumed the same pose, and Sherman, who looked like he was ready to fold two or three time already, finally flicked his cards to the dealer.

The table urged Jaffe to show the bluff. Jaffe smiled, mucked his hand, and said "If I had a bluff I'd show you." A couple players at the table seemed to think that was a bluff, but Jaffe just took in the chips, upping his stack to 830,000.

Tyler Denson Eliminated By Nick Schwarmann

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tyler Denson shoved from under the gun for 50,000 and found action from Anthony Forsyth-Forrest on the button, who three-bet to 100,000. Nick Schwarmann four-bet from small blind to 185,000, though, chasing out Forsyth-Forrest.

Denson: {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Schwarmann: {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, no help to Denson, ending his Main Event.

Glazier Takes More From Merson

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Jackie Glazier opened to 27,000 in early position and Greg Merson defended his big blind.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Merson checked to Glazier who bet 33,000. Merson check-raised to 102,000, resulting in a Glazier shove with the bigger stack. Merson folded immediately and Glazier took down the pot.

Speta Full House Ends Sherman's Run

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

In one of the last hands of the night, Dustin Speta and Adam Sherman were battling over a pot that had reached the turn with the board showing {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}. That was when all of Sherman's remaining chips found their way into the middle with him holding {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, but alas for him Speta had {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, making the river {2-Spades} no matter.

Sherman hit the rail, and afterwards Keanu Tabali joked with Speta that he was nervous on the turn.

"You put him on quads, didn't you?" joked Tabali. "But you said screw it, I'm going with it!" Speta laughed in response.

Rustom Catches Jaffe Bluffing

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

No more then ten minutes after we caught Jonathan Jaffe scooping a huge pot, he has bluffed most of it away in a huge pot to Sami Rustom. We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board showing {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Rustom had a bet of 150,000 in front of him, but it was a raise of a previous Jaffe bet, as Jaffe put out a reraise of 235,000 total. Rustom made the call, and the {3-Hearts} came on the river. Jaffe checked it this time to Rustom, and he fired out a bet of 125,000.

Jaffe decided to go the check raise the river route, and put out a raise of 265,000. Rustom went into the tank for a bit before finding a call, and Jaffe announced "queen high," and tabled {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Rustom showed {7-}{5-} for trip fives, and he took down a monster pot off of Jaffe in one of the last hands of the night.
