Merson's Five-Bet Shove Gets Through

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Greg Merson
Greg Merson

On the final hand before the break at the feature table, the player in Seat 1 opened to 1,200 from under the gun. Bill Perkins called from the cutoff, as did the player on the button, and action folded to Greg Merson who three-bet to 6,000 from the big blind.

Back on the original raiser, he four-bet to 13,200, prompting folds from Perkins (who accidentally flipped over the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}) and the button. Merson then moved all in and counted down his stack which totaled 25,000. Seat 1 thought it over for about a minute before releasing, and Merson took down a big pot without even seeing a flop.

Marc-Etienne McLaughlin

2013 November Niner Marc-Etienne McLaughlin was just spotted exiting the Amazon Room, and we went to his table to investigate the situation.

According to Raymond Ezzie, the player who eliminated him, the two players made a flush, and Ezzie's was higher.

Ezzie is up to 120,000 chips.

Chewy Chews It Over

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Andrew “luckychewy” Lichtenberger had bet 2,100 on the river of a board reading {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and his opponent had raised him 6,100. Lichtenberger had 12,750 behind and was deep in thought.

Too deep in thought for the player in seat two who called the clock. The player who had raised seemed irritated at the clock being called and said, “You’re not in the hand.”

“I’m in the game, right?” came the response, and he was within his rights to call time on Lichtenberger. The floor arrived and began the countdown but Lichtenberger soon released his hand.

Schemion Continues to Add to His Stack

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Ole Schemion has won back-to-back pots that have helped push his stack northwards of 50,000.

The first saw Schemion raise to 750 from under the gun and the button called. Both players checked the {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, but Schemion led for 1,200 on the {A-Hearts} turn and the button folded.

The second saw Jamie Roberts complete in the small blind and Schemion check in the big blind. Roberts fired a bet of 525 on the {Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop but then folded when Schemion, under the gaze of a television camera, raised to 1,350.

Friedman Gets Check-Raised on the River

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matt Carrier checked on Adam Friedman on a flop of {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and he tossed out 625. Carrier called, both players checked on the turn ({k-Spades}), and the river was the {6-Diamonds}.

Carrier checked a third time, Friedman bet 1,375, and Carrier check-raised to 4,500.

"Call," Friedman said instantly.

Carrier ripped over {a-Hearts}{4-Spades} for two pair, and Friedman flicked his cards into the muck.

German Advance Halted

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Ole Schemion completed the small blind when it was folded to him and gave the player in the big blind a glare. He checked his option and they went to the flop of {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Schemion led out for 400 and got a call.

The turn card was the {10-Diamonds} and Schemion bet bigger this time making it 1,250. His opponent raised him to 3,650 and after a quick glare Schemion put out the call. On the {j-Hearts} river card Schemion checked and faced bet of 4,850. After some more protracted glaring at both his opponent and the board and some card shuffling, Schemion had a last look at his hand and folded.

“Show one?” The German wunderkind asked, and his obliging opponent showed the {9-Hearts}.

No Day 2 For Cannatella

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Trishelle Cannatella
Trishelle Cannatella

Trishelle Cannatella has been knocked out from the Main Event and Andrea Dato was kind enough to share her elimination hand with us.

Cannatella called a raise before the flop after which the big blind called as well. The flop brought out {A-}{Q-}{9-} with two clubs and the action was checked to the initial raiser who bet. Cannatella check-raise all in for about 6,500 and was called by {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Cannatella tabled {Q-}{9-} for bottom two pair but the turn, a club, put her in dire need of making a full house. The river did no such thing and Cannatella was knocked out.
