Alibay Shows Ace-King

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Max Silver raised to 3,600 from under the gun, Ami Alibay reraised to 7,800 in the cutoff, and Jonathan Duhamel cold four-bet to 18,000 out of the small blind. Silver folded, as did Alibay, and the latter showed {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

Duhamel mucked facedown.

Waxman Busts Lacay

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In a pre flop situation between Waxman (button) and Lacay (big blind), it was the Frenchman eventually departing. Waxman had {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and was up against {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Waxman flopped top pair, and Lacay wouldn't catch up: {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Two tables down we heard Doug Polk tell his friend Ryan Fee "I am out of the tournament". "Gee Ell" he added, wishing Fee the best of luck.

Ludo Doubles

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Ludovic Lacay was all in and at risk for 20,800 preflop holding {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and he was racing against the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Matt Waxman.

Waxman took the lead on a flop of {5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, the {9-Spades} was a brick, and Lacay snatched the lead back on the river when the {j-Clubs} spiked onto the felt to give him a set of jacks.

The Frenchman doubled to 43,500 chips, while Waxman fell to 167,000.

Hunichen Doesn't Have Deuces

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Chris Hunichen (Day 1)
Chris Hunichen (Day 1)

When we arrived at Table 350, the scene looked like this: David Paredes had what appeared to be a three-bet to 12,700 in front of him, Byron Kaverman had a four-bet of 21,500 in front of him, and Chris Hunichen was all in for 67,600.

Paredes folded, and Kaverman went into the tank.

"I feel like you have deuces or something," Kaverman finally said.

There was a beat.

"I don't," Hunichen said simply.

The players at the table burst into laughter - even Kaverman grinned.

"Well," Andrew Lichtenberger interjected. "That settles that."

Kaverman eventually folded, and Eric Wasserson urged "Big Huni" to show a deuce.

"Trust me," Hunichen said. "If I had a deuce I would show."

Le Doubles

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Nam Le opened to 3,400 and got reraised by Wade Townsend in the big blind to 8,200. Le pondered for a little bit, and then shoved all in for a total of 36,300. Townsend made the call, and soon found out he had some catching up to do.

Townsend: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Le: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop gave both players top pair, and both would make it two pair with the running deuces ({2-Spades} and {2-Clubs}). Le's kicker played, double up for the player who won the 2006 Bay 101 Shooting Star for $1,198,300.

Duhamel on the Rise

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jonthan Duhamel had the button, and raised to 3,200. Max Silver called in the big blind, then checked on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Duhamel continued for 4,500, Silver check-raised to 11,500, and Duhamel made the call.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, Silver led out for 12,500, and the 2010 WSOP Main Event champ made the call.

Duhamel called another bet of 18,000 on the river ({k-Hearts}), and Silver tabled {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for sixes and deuces. Duhamel revealed {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for kings and deuces, and was awarded the pot.

Ace on the River

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

All the chips went in, in a blind battle between Layne Flack (small blind) and Dan Smith (big blind). Flack was the player at risk with 89,100 in the middle. Smith had him covered, but just by about 16,000.

Flack: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Smith: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Things were looking good for Smith up until the river: {J-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}. Flack doubled to almost 180,000, Smith was left with a little over 15,000 after paying his small blind.

Brigette Keeps Building

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

During one of our first passes today, we noticed that Brigette Lau had quickly chipped up to over 200,000. She's added more since then, and is now flirting with the quarter-million marker.

She was recently going toe-to-toe with Jared Jaffee on a board of {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Lau checked, Jaffee fired out 7,800, and Lau tanked for a considerable amount of time before check-raising to 18,000.

Jaffee folded.

Larry Versus Ludo

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts} board we saw 5,500 in front of EPT Sanremo winner Ludovic Lacay. The all in button and a total of 28,600 chips lay before Larry Wright and he said "I'm feeling pretty confident, you didn't snap". Lacay looked like he wanted to fold, but called in the end anyway.

Wright turned over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nuts, Lacay angrily threw his {K-}{K-} forward. "Go for the gutshot, hit the $#@*! gutshot" said the Frenchman. The {6-Spades} on the river was a blank and Wright doubled up.
