Tilly's Nosedive

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante
Jennifer Tilly
Jennifer Tilly

Jennifer Tilly started fast but has taken a huge nosedive here of late.

We caught her betting 4,000 into a 5,800-chip pot on a {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop only to have her opponent raise it up to 10,200. She potted it for all her oppenents chips, 27,200 effective and he made the call, turning over {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Tilly was in tough with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and failed to improve on the {5-Clubs} turn and {a-Hearts} river.

Pilgrim Lays Down Big Slick in Strange Pot

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

Matt Marafioti opened for 2,000 under the gun, and Dwyte Pilgrim reraised to 5,100 in the small blind. Apparently, as Isaac Baron was tanking in the big blind, Matt Marafioti shoved all in. The floor was called, and after Baron raised pot, Marafioti was informed he could take his bet back and do whatever he wanted since the action had changed. He did so, and folded his hand. Pilgrim took his time, thinking for over a minute before mucking {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} face up.

Baron took the pot, but afterwards he was informed had he just called, Marafioti's bet would have stood since the action hadn't changed. At this, Baron expressed regret at the way he played the hand while Marafioti was overjoyed to have gotten away from what he believed to be the second-best hand.

Nothing For Negreanu

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

It was a late entrance and early exit for "Kid Poker" Daniel Negreanu.

Kathy Liebert told the PokerNews Live Reporting team he ran {a-}{k-} suited into {a-}{a-} and quietly said his goodbyes.

Boatman Penalized

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

The floor was called to Table #366 a moment ago with some controversial action having just played out.

It was determined that Barny Boatman bet 10,000 chips into a 20,000-chip pot after the river on a {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} board had been revealed.

The player to Boatman's left potted it, moving all in, but Boatman thought he had just called, tabling his losing {a-}{a-}. His opponent held {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and was expecting to get paid, but the dealer mucked the aces and determined Boatman was folding, considering he said nothing at all.

Once the floor turned up, Boatman explained he thought he had been called, but would have folded to a pot sized all in bet. He was handed a nine-hand penalty for exposing his hand with action pending, but saved himself some chips.

Hennigan Has A Dream

Level 7 : 300/600, 0 ante

John Hennigan sat down for the first time at the start of this seventh level telling his table he had a dream he was going to raise the first hand he saw no matter what it was. Forced to post, instead he called a 1,300-chip open from Jared Hamby and the player in the big blind came along as well.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} and after a check, Hamby bet 2,100. Both Hennigan and the big blind called to see the {8-Diamonds} turn. This time Hamby bet 10,800 and only Hennigan called.

They checked down the {j-Spades} river before Hennigan turned over {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and it was enough to get him off to the kind of start he'd dreamed of.
