Level 28: Maguire, Tuthill & Finstein Among Those to Fall in Post-Dinner Action

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Bracelet
2014 WSOP Main Event Champion Bracelet

Coming back from dinner, 44 players remained in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event. Now, through two more levels of play in Level 28, just 37 remain.

The first post-dinner elimination came when Clayton Maguire got all in preflop holding the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades} only to run into the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of Craig McCorkell. The flop came seven high, but Maguire would fail to find anymore help and had to settle for 44th place and $186,388 in prize money. Likewise, David Tuthill, who was extremely short stacked at one point on Day 5, earned the same amount after falling in 43rd place when his {9-Spades}{8-Spades} couldn't overcome the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Luis Velador.

One-time chip leader Michael Finstein followed them out the door in 42nd place, and he was soon joined on the rail by the likes of Adam Lamphere (41st - $186,388), Michael Kamran (40th - $186,388), Paul Senter (39th - $186,388), and Shahen Martirosian (38th - $186,388).

The plan for the night is to play down to at least the final 27 players, though tournament officials would like to get to the final 24 if possible within the next two levels. Cards will be in the air in 20 minute, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out Remko Rinkema's interview with chip leader Martin Jacobson:

Top Two for Velador

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Sindelar opened to with a raise from the hijack which both Kyle Keranen and Luis Velador called as the flop fell {9-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{A-Hearts}.

Sindelar bet out 265,000 and both players called before he continued for 680,000 when the turn landed the {5-Diamonds}. Only Velador would call on this occasion as both players checked the {2-Diamonds} on the river.

Velador tabled his {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Sindelar mucked while slipping under 9 million in chips.

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Iaron Lightbourne made it 175,000 from early position and Dan Smith three-bet to 525,000 from the big blind. Action was back on Lightbourne and he four-bet the action to 1.075 million.

After about one minute, Smith announced a five-bet shove all in. Lightbourne quickly released and Smith took down the pot.

Smith Bets River

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Smith made it 170,000 from under the gun and Mark Newhouse called from the hijack. Action folded around the rest of the table, leaving the two heads up to the {9-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop. Smith checked and Newhouse came out swinging for 225,000. Smith called.

The {6-Clubs} graced the felt on fourth street and Smith knuckled the table. Newhouse checked it back, allowing the {3-Spades} to complete the board. Smith bet 375,000. Newhouse thought for just over two minutes before kicking his cards into the muck. Smith pulled in the pot and now sits around 3.745 million.

More For Stephensen

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

On a {9-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Spades} flop Felix Stephensen checked to Andori Larrabe who bet 225,000 from the button. Stephensen check-raised to 525,000 and Larrabe made the call.

On the turn the {Q-Clubs} hit and both players checked. The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Stephensen lead out for 700,000. Larrabe tanked for quite a bit and ultimately he decided to fold.

Senft's Passivity Saves Chips

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Sarra Jr. accidentally limped in when he meant to open for a raise in the cutoff, and Luis Velador limped along from the button. Maximilian Senft checked his option, and they took a {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop three-handed. Senft checked, Sarra Jr. bet 100,000, and both opponents called. The turn card was the {5-Spades}, and action checked to Velador, who bet 310,000. Senft called, and Sarra Jr. folded. Both players checked the {3-Clubs} river.

"Just ten-high," Senft said regretfully, showing ten-high diamonds. Velador tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a pair and two missed draws. Senft expressed regret at not having gotten aggressive on the turn, and Velador said he wasn't going anywhere. Senft hadn't noticed the flush draw, and he chuckled at the realization that he had saved some chips.
