Updated Chip Counts

Volpe Makes Six-Five

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Brian Townsend completed, David "ODB" Baker raised and Paul Volpe made it 7,500 with both players calling. Townsend bet fourth, Baker called, Volpe raised and Townsend three-bet with both Baker and Volpe calling. Volpe then led fifth, sixth and seventh with Townsend calling him down as Baker dropped out on the river.

Townsend: (X-X) / {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} / (X)
Baker: (X-X) / {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} / (X)
Volpe: (X-X) / {2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} / (X)

Volpe tabled his {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a six-five and scooped the monster pot to move to 125,000 in chips.

Bonomo Struggling To Survive

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Freshly crowned bracelet winner Justin Bonomo is still in contention for his second this summer, but a lot has to happen for him to be a real contender. Bonomo was just all in for his tournament life against Nick Schulman and doubled up, only to lose back his profits on the very next hand.

We picked up the action fourth street when Bonomo called a bet from Schulman, and on fifth street it was Bonomo who bet and Schulman called.

Bonomo bet again on sixth street, Schulman called and on seventh both players checked.

Bonomo: (X-X) / {2-}{K-}{6-}{J-} / (X)
Schulman: (X-X) / {4-}{7-}{K-}{8-} / (X)

Schulman turned over his {10-}{6-}{J-} for a ten-eight low and Bonomo flicked his cards for a bit before throwing them into the muck. Bonomo remains as one of the short stacks while Schulman sits above the current average.

Bob Hooks: The Forgotten Texas Road Gambler

Level 9 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Not many people are familiar with Bob Hooks, but he is a man the poker world should not soon forget. Despite not being active in the poker world anymore, Hooks came up as a Texas road gambler with the likes of Doyle Brunson, T.J. Cloutier, Johnny Moss, Amarillo "Slim" Preston, and so many more.

Hooks got his start in Texas, as so many of the old-time poker legends did, before he eventually made the leap to Las Vegas. Alongside his roommate Brian "Sailor" Roberts, Hooks made it to heads-up play in the 1975 World Series of Poker Main Event, but lost out on the title. Even without poker immortality reached, Hooks has so much to offer looking back on the old days of the game.
