On the {4-} turn, after another check, Merlin shoved all in and his opponent called with a stack worth 8,000.

Merlin had the dominating hand with {q-}{q-} against {j-}{9-} for his opponent. The river bricked and Martini won the pot.

Bad Beat for Cada

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

Joe Cada was involved in a hand where he got rivered for a significant pot. As the board read {3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Cada was facing an all-in of around 8,000, with the pot being around 12,000 already.

Joe Cada was visibly struggling with his decision on the turn, but ended up making the correct call with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} against the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of his opponent.

Unfortunately for Cada, the river was the {5-Spades} en the 2009 Main Event champion is left with under 15 big blinds.

Martini Loses Some Chips

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Julien Martini on the button opened and the player in big blind raised it to 3,700, before Martini reraised to 7,200.

After some thought, his opponent shoved over top and Martini quickly folded.

The recent winner of the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better (Event #4) still has a comfortable stack of 22,000.

The big migration has started from the Pavillion room to the Brasilia room. The Brasilia room is filling up with more and more familiar faces.

Maria Ho is one of the players who is now seated in the Brasilia room next to a gentleman with a chef hat on his head. She just played a pot, but couldn't manage to win.

When the board read {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} she check-called a bet of 900, before check-folding on the {5-Spades} turn, when her opponent bet 3,525.
