Goulder Adds to Stack with a "Greenstein"

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

It was heads-up to the {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} flop and the big blind checked to Alex Goulder who was seated under-the-gun. Goulder checked behind and the dealer placed the {K-Clubs} on the turn. Again, the action checked to Goulder; he bet 6,100 and was called.

The river was the {A-Diamonds} and both players checked. Goulder showed {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and had caught an ace on the river — the title of Barry Greenstein's book — and Goulder won the pot.

Goulder looks to have around 50,000 chips after that hand, down from a peak of around 105,000 at the start of the day.

Huge Call Takes Out Waxman

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Ferdinando Locascio
Ferdinando Locascio

Action folded to Ferdinando Locascio in the small blind and he raised to 3,700. Matt Waxman reraised to 6,200 from the big blind and Locascio made the call. The flop was {8-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Locascio checked. Waxman bet 6,800 and Locascio called.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Locascio check-called a bet of 13,600 from Waxman. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Locascio checked once again. Waxman thought for a moment and then moved all in for 30,800. Locascio tanked for a couple of minutes and eventually threw out a chip for the call. "Nice hand," Waxman declared as the dealer asked for both hands to be tabled.

Waxman: {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Locascio: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Locascio had missed his flush draw, but his hero call with ace high was good for a huge pot and Waxman's elimination.

A Tough Table

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Table 444 looks to be one of the toughest in the room thanks to it housing Johan Guilbert, Brandon Cantu, Dan Kelly and Jeff Gross among others. Expect fireworks at some point, especially if Guilbert and Cantu clash, because neither needs much of an excuse to get his chips into the middle.

Wilt Not on Tilt

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Aaron "WiltOnTilt" Wilt is cruising along with 53,000 chips and looking very comfortable at his table. We caught him in back-to-back hands hands, both of which he won.

The first saw Wilt raise to 2,700 from under the gun and William Tonking call from the big blind. Tonking then checked to Wilt on a queen-high flop, Wilt bet 2,200, and Tonking folded.

Hand number two saw Carlos Villamarin open to 2,400 on the button and Wilt call in the big blind. Wilt then check-called a 2,500 bet on the {10-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop before leading for 5,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Villamarin quickly folded and Wilt added more chips to his seemingly ever-growing stack.

Kenney Waxed

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Tyler Kenney opened to 8,500 from early position, leaving himself just 3,000 behind. Matt Waxman made the call and they were heads up to the flop of {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Kenney checked and Waxman moved all in. Kenney called and tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Waxman turned over {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and Kenney needed a six, nine, ace or paint to stay alive. The board completed {2-Hearts} and then {2-Clubs}, however, and Kenney was out the door.
