Updated Chip Counts

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Baldwin Hits an Ace from Space

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Eric Baldwin opened with a raise from early position and was met by a three-bet to 9,400 by Chris Johnson in the hijack. Action folded back to Baldwin and he opted to move all in for 49,600. Johnson asked for a count and made the call.

Johnson: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Baldwin: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

The {2-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop wasn't much help to Baldwin, and the {3-Hearts} turn meant he needed an ace and an ace only on the river to survive. Wouldn't you know it, the dealer burned and put out the {A-Hearts}! Johnson was left with just 5,000 after the hand, and that disappeared a short time later.

Meanwhile, a short-stacked Heinz Kamutzki has been eliminated from the tournament.

Silverman Picks Up Cowboys

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A preflop raising war resulted in Steven Silverman getting his stack of 42,400 all in against Thomas Paul.

Paul: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Silverman: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

It was a great spot for the man that won the inaugural World Poker Tour Alpha8 event last year, and he was rewarded with a double after the board ran out a safe {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

Madsen Gives It Up

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On the {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, Jeff Madsen bet 5,800. Russell Rosenblum folded, the next player called, and then Jonathan Duhamel folded.

The turn was the {J-Spades}, and Madsen led with 7,700 with about 46,000 behind. His opponent moved all in for 29,000, and Madsen tank-folded.

Sammartino Finally Blinded Out

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Dario Sammartino abandoned his stack here on Day 2. He started the day with 22,100, but he never showed up to play it. Now it has been blinded down to nothing and Sammartino finds himself on the list of the recently eliminated.

Chidwick vs. Kamutzki

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Heinz Kamutzki opened the action for 3,300 only to have Stephen Chidwick three-bet all in for 33,500 from the small blind. The big got out of the way and Kamutzki made a quick call.

Kamutzki: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Chidwick was in need of some help, and while he got a little on the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop, he needed more if he hoped to survive. He didn't receive it on the {5-Spades} turn, but he did on the {A-Spades} river. Chidwick got lucky to make two pair, and that left Kamutzki with just 2,500 in chips.
