Tehan Bets Out Phan

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Joe Tehan opened to 1,000 and both Tim Phan and Nam Le made the call from the cutoff and the big blind.

Tehan continued for 1,500 on the {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop only to have Phan raise it up to 4,000 as Le mucked. Tehan made the call before the {10-Spades} was checked through on the turn.

The river landed the {Q-Hearts} and Tehan bet out 5,100 with Phan quickly folding.

Jacks For Dai

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Shang Dai and Johnny Chan have been clashing all day and just now it was the former who got the best of it.

The actions started with a raise from Matthew Ashton to 800 and Chan called. Both blind, including Dai from the small, made the call. The flop came down {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and the action was checked to Chan who bet 2,400.

Only Dai called and the turn, the {7-Diamonds}, and the river, the {A-Diamonds}, were checked. Dai showed {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} and he won the pot.

The “Show One” Game

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The buy-in for the Main Event may be $10,000 but table 391 proved that it is still just a fun game of cards for some players. The player with the most chips at the table got the rest of the players to agree to show one card of their choosing at the end of a non-showdown win.

The instigator was in the big blind the next hand and the player to his right joked that all they would be seeing from him was a succession of aces. Another player opened the action for 1,000 and the big blind called.

The flop of {8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Spades} was checked and the turn card was the {a-Clubs}. The original raiser bet 1,000 with 7,000 behind, and the big blind folded. Time to show one card and he said, “Which ten do you want to see?” and showed the {10-Diamonds}.

Another Big Stack Spotted

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The World Series of Poker Main Event is a constant search for new big stacks. Just now, over on Johnny Chan's table, we spotted Frank Passantino who's sitting on around 105,000 chips.

The remaining players are heading on a 20-minute break.

Following the resumption of play after dinner break, the tone of the level would be eliminations with "All American" Dave Swanson being eliminated by Kenny Tran. Swanson called all-in holding {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} on a {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs} board and was up against Tran's {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. The river landed the {8-Spades} and Swanson was headed to the rail.

Jean-Robert Bellande entered late and exited early as Mustapha Kanit had his aces cracked before being eliminated shortly after as Trishelle Cannatella, Blake Bohn, Jeff Gross, Phil Laak and David Chiu all found themselves on the rail also.

However level four would really belong to only one player; Martin Jacobson. Jacobson began the day see-sawing up and down, but this level saw him win a pot holding {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} against {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} on a {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} before scooping another pot with a bet on the turn to push his stack upwards of 120,000. At-the-time chip leader Jon Broderick then sat on Jacobson's right, but after he lost a pot to John Monnette, Jacobson took the top spot on the leaderboard and ended the level as chip leader with 122,800. Sitting directly behind the Swede include Ezzie (116,250), Broderick (103,600), DiVella (99,350), and two-time WSOP Main Event Champion Johnny Chan (88,000).

The big news that also got announced in the closing few minutes of the level were that a total of 771 players entered Day 1a to be substantially lower then the 943 that took a seat in last year's Day 1a.

WSOPToday’s Flight A of #MainEvent drew 771 entrants. About 600 remain. Flight B starts @ noon tomorrow (Sunday) & Flight C is Monday @ noon.
