The Truth Chips Up

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Paul Pierce
Paul Pierce

Paul Pierce bet 4,000 on a flop of {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, an opponent check-raised to 11,500, and Pierce tank-called. The turn was the {a-Diamonds}, Pierce called a bet of 12,500, and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.

The player checked, Pierce bet 15,000, and his opponent folded.

The very next hand, Pierce raised in middle position and one opponent called. Both players checked on the flop ({10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}) and the turn ({7-Hearts}), and the 10-time NBA All-Star took the pot with a bet of 5,000 on the river ({7-Clubs}).

Pierce is now flirting with six figures, sitting on about 97,000 chips.

Kaverman Tanks

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Byron Kaverman opened on the button for 3,400 and got called by a player in the big blind.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and a check from the big blind saw Kaverman take his time and check. The turn card was the {6-Hearts} and the big blind led out for 4,000. With a stack of around 30,000, it was an important decision and Kaverman tanked before he called.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Kaverman faced a bet of 6,000. He went deep in the tank; he took an earphone out and mumbled something to his opponent, but got no response. A few more minutes elapsed and he reluctantly called. His opponent turned over {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Kaverman pushed his hand away and mucked.

De Melo Doubles

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Fatima Moreira de Melo opened to 2,600 from early position and a middle positioned player three-bet the action to 7,800. Action came back around to de Melo, she four-bet shoved for 30,700 and her opponent quickly called.

de Melo: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, allowing de Melo's pocket aces to keep the lead. The {K-Hearts} fell on the turn and the {2-Diamonds} on the river, securing de Melo renewed life in the tournament. She now sits around 65,000 in chips.

Neff Still Climbing

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Big blind Peter Neff check-called a bet of 22,000 on a board of {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and he checked the {2-Spades} river. His opponent checked back, and Neff showed {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} to take the pot.

Neff will be a dangerous opponent for anyone he encounters in this tournament, as he has more than $500,000 in live cashes to go with his more than $2 million in online tournament winnings under the moniker "#1PEN" and "number1pen."
