Peters On Fire

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

David Peters is absolutely on fire here, now pushing his stack over the 100,000-chip mark.

His latest move up the counts came after he busted a short stack, getting him all in preflop with {k-}{q-} versus {a-}{a-} and making a king high straight on the turn.

Marafioti Doubles

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Matt Marafioti got his last 6,300 all in with some 16,000 in chips in the middle and the board reading {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} on the turn. His heads-up opponent made the call with {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} but was behind Marafioti's {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

He stayed there on the brick-like turn and river and Marafioti doubled up.

JC Tran put an opponent all in on the turn after the player bet 8,000 with the board reading {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The player called off his last 20,000 or so, and Tran showed {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for a set, and he was up against the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Tran faded the aces and the spades on the {5-Diamonds} river, and he's now at about triple the starting stack.

Parades Punts

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Dani Stern pounced on a David Paredes open, three-betting to 4,300 on the button. Parades called and they quickly traded pot bets to get Paredes all in on the {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop.

It was {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for Stern against Paredes' {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and the {8-Clubs} turn left him drawing dead.

Ivey on the Treadmill

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Phil Ivey.
Phil Ivey.

Phil Ivey has played more than his fair share of hands since coming on the tournament floor late in the 8th level.

We watched as he three-bet JC Tran's 2,300 chip open, potting it to force a fold from Tran. He also picked up the next couple of pots with 2,200-chip opens forcing the blinds and the rest of the table to fold.

But when he defended his big blind against a Chris Moorman 2,400-chip preflop bet, he check-folded to 2,500 more on the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop and his stack now sits right about where it was when he started actually playing the event.

Seidel Bluffs Off a Chunk

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel bet 17,000 after Michel Abecassis checked to him on a {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} board. Abecassis thought long and hard, contemplating for three minutes or so before tossing in a call.

"Good call," Seidel said, tapping the table with a chip.

Abecassis turned over {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for second pair, and Seidel mucked his hand.

Table 370, already housing JC Tran, Chino Rheem, Hoyt Corkins, and Chris Moorman, just added Phil Ivey to the intimidating lineup. Ivey's stack has been blinded off as he competed in the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E., but he's getting settled in here now.
