Cada Chips Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Right before the last break, Joe Cada check-called a bet of 1,400 on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{a-Spades}. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, both he and his opponent checked, and the river was the {k-Clubs}.

Cada led out for 3,300, his opponent raised to 8,300 and the 2009 WSOP Main Event champion moved all in. His opponent snap-folded.

Robert Tepper raised to 1,500 in the cutoff, Tom McCormick moved all in for 7,475 out of the small blind, and Mustapha Kanit cold-called in the big blind. Tepper folded, saying he had a "pair under tens."

McCormick: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Kanit: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

McCormick, who's reached more final tables (12) than any other player without a bracelet at the WSOP, was in great shape to double, but the {j-Clubs} poked through the window of the {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn gave McCormick a flush draw to go with his pair and straight outs, but the {5-Hearts} bricked off on the river.

McCormick hit the rail, while Kanit is up to 62,000 chips.

Bjorn Li Takes the Chip Lead; Eliminates Tuan Le

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

With the board reading {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Tuan Le and Bjorn Li went back and forth before Bjorn reraised all in with a bigger stack. With 29,000 committed postflop and about about 55,000 behind, Tuan called all in.

Tuan: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Bjorn: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The {10-Spades} turn and {K-Clubs} river were no help to Tuan, giving the massive pot and the chip lead to Bjorn.

Lindgren Gutted

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

There was an open to 1,500 in the cutoff, Erick Lindgren called in the small blind, and Joe Cada defended his big blind. The dealer fanned {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Lindgren led out for 2,300, and Cada folded. The original raiser moved all in for 14,550, and Lindgren called.

Lindgren: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Lindgren flopped top two, but his opponent was drawing to a club flush. He also had a gut-shot straight draw, which he hit when the turn brought the {9-Spades}. Lindgren failed to fill up on the river ({6-Spades}), and his stack dropped to 24,200.

Greg Merson

Greg Merson raised to 1,200 on the button, a player called out of the small blind, and Jean Gaspard put in a three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. Merson four-bet to 9,000, the player in the small blind folded, and Gaspard called.

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Gaspard check-called a bet of 10,600, and the turn was the {3-Hearts}. The {2-Clubs} completed the board, Gaspard led out for 15,000, and Merson quickly dropped a handful of black T100 chips in front of him, signifying a call.

Gaspard mucked, and Merson showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of aces.
