Young Ji the Go Getta

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Young Ji
Young Ji

Last summer the Seniors Championship became a young man's game, as the inimitable Young Ji weaved his way to a 104th place finish in the 2013 edition of this event.

Along the way Ji became a favorite of railbirds and reporters alike, regaling his tablemates with a selection of jokes so juicy that even his opponents had to laugh along.

"I should not be playing in this event because I am Young," Ji once said. "None of you are young. Only I am young because that is my name."

Ji is back in the house here today playing in his second consecutive Seniors Championship Day 2 in as many attempts, and while his stack sits a little below the average at the moment, the active and energetic player is sure to make some moves as the afternoon progresses.

Ace King Not a Hand

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

One of the big stacks on the table opened for 10,000 and the player on the button moved all in for 13,500. The big blind then re-shoved for 40,000 and it was back on the original raiser.

He hemmed and hawed and folded his {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} face up. The short stack showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and the big blind showed {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The aces held up to deliver a double uo.

“Good fold. Ace king is not a hand. Not for me.”

A recurring theme is players here not liking ace king and losing with it if they play it. You have been warned.

Huge Pot Sends MacNaughton Into the Lead

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Greg Genge limped from under the gun, John MacNaughton raised to 8,000 and the big blind moved all in for 37,000. Genge reshoved for 150,000 as biggest stack out of the three and MacNaughton snap called. Turn over your cards please:

Big blind: {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Genge: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
MacNaughton: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

"One time please," Genge said. His wish wasn't granted as the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} and the monster pot knocked out the big blind. MacNaughton doubled up for 111,200 and he is our new chip leader. A little consolation for Genge is the fact that the beneficiary of the hand is from Alberta / Canada as well. "It's a cooler no matter what I do," he said and updated the chip count with his smart phone.

Farha Falls

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Sam Farha - Happier Times
Sam Farha - Happier Times

Sammy Farha hadn’t been able to get anything much going all day and now he has been eliminated.

He was heads up to the flop of {k-}{7-}{2-} and both players checked. All the money went in on the turn {4-}.

Farha had top pair {k-}{q-} but his opponent had flopped the set with {2-}{2-}. The river was a blank and Farha couldn’t repeat his hot streak from last night and his tournament was at an end.
