McKeehen Calls Down

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Joe McKeehen in the hijack facing a bet of 4,800 from the big blind on a board of {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. McKeehen called and the river brought a {q-Hearts}. The big blind fired 8,900 and McKeehen took a minute to think it over before dropping in a call.

The big blind turned over {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a bricked flush draw, and McKeehen's {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} took the pot.

He's Got the Wright Stuff

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

What can we tell you about Larry Wright?

Well, we can tell you the WSOP bracelet winner, who won the 2012 WSOP Event #30: 2-7 $1,500 No-Limit Draw Lowball for $101,975, hails from McQueeney, Texas and is a World Champion water skier. He also raises white tail deer, donates a large portion of his poker winnings to a charity in South Sudan, and is on the Board of Directors of the Texas Card Player Association.

It's clear that Wright, who is married with two daughters, is quite the character. As fate would have it, Wright is competing here in the Day 2a field in search of his second gold bracelet. Wright has been holding steady most of the day, but we were able to catch him in a recent hand.

In it, the player in the cutoff limped and Wright opted to raise to 2,500 from the button. The blinds both folded, the cutoff called the additional 1,700, and it was heads-up action to the {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, which they both checked. When the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}, the cutoff checked and folded to a bet of 5,500 from Wright.

Not much of a hand, but hopefully it'll pacify all of you Larry Wright fans out there.

Bad Day for Brazil

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Maria Mayrinck In Happier Times
Maria Mayrinck In Happier Times

Brazilian Maria Mayrinck and the player in the small blind were tangling over a pot where the flop was {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Mayrinck had earlier suffered the ignominy of her country getting humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semi-final of the World Cup on home soil. She has also lost her glasses, so following everything that is happening at the table is proving difficult. Despite these setbacks, she has remained cheerful. When it was checked to her, she bet 2,600.

Her opponent called and they both checked the turn card {6-Clubs}. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Mayrinck faced a bet of 9,000.

“You don’t have a nine do you?” Mayrinck asked and called. Her opponent turned over {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Mayrinck showed her {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. “What is it?” she asked squinting to the far end of the table. The other players told her it was a flush and the dealer confirmed it by pushing the pot the way of her opponent.

Not the best day for the Brazilian so far, but on the other hand, Mayrinck has more than she started with and is still in the hunt for $10,000,000. Can’t be all bad.

"One More"

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Olof Haglund raised to 1,900 in early position and the action folded to poker author Jim McManus, who moved all in for 9,300 out of the small blind. The action folded back to Haglund, and the Swede tanked for a bit before calling.

Haglund: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
McManus: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

It was a classic race situation, and McManus looked to be in dire straits when the {j-Spades} peaked through the window of the flop. It was followed by the {8-Diamonds}, however, giving McManus a set, and the third and final card on the flop was the {5-Clubs}.

Haglund was drawing very slim against McManus' set, and the {8-Hearts} on the turn left him drawing dead.

"One more," a player at the table joked.

A meaningless {2-Spades} completed the board, and McManus was pushed the pot.

Big Slick Does the Trick for Farber

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jay Farber
Jay Farber

After a player in middle position opened for 2,000, last year's Main Event runner-up Jay Farber opted for a three-bet to 5,500 from the hijack. Action folded back to the original raiser, who called, and the flop came down {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

The middle-position player promptly checked, Farber did the same, and the dealer burned and turned the {6-Diamonds}. Farber ended up calling a bet of 6,500 from his opponent before both players returned to checking on the {2-Hearts} river.

The middle-position player tabled the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Farber excitedly rolled over the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the win.

Campanello Over Blanchandin

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Tony Blanchandin and WSOP bracelet winner Bryan Campanello took a flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Blanchandin fired out a river bet of 1,900. Campanello called and the dealer produced the {10-Diamonds} on the turn. Blanchandin kept up his aggression on fourth street, firing out a bet of 3,300. Campanello stayed the course.

The river was the {6-Spades} and Blanchandin slowed with a check. Campanello knocked the table back and Blanchandin showed {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a rivered pair of sixes. Campanello rolled over {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens and took down the pot. Campanello's stack now sits around 66,000 while Blanchandin is down to about 160,000.
