Rockets Send Psallidas To The Top

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Constantinos Psallidas
Constantinos Psallidas

Constantinos Psallidas in the cutoff found himself involved in a three-way all in with a player in middle position as well as the small blind.

Middle Position Player: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Constantinos Psallidas: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Small Blind Player: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Psallidas was in great shape to take down a huge pot, with his chances only getting better following the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. Matters wrapped up early on the {4-Clubs} turn with the middle position player already vacating the tournament area prior to the {9-Clubs} river. The small blind survived, though he did take a big hit to his stack.

Sylvia Loses Some

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player on the button moved all in and, after asking for a count, Jesse Sylvia made the call out of the big blind to put his opponent at risk.

Button Player: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Jesse Sylvia: {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The at risk player had Sylvia dominated and was in a good spot to double up. He stayed ahead on the {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop and {9-Clubs} turn with the {q-Diamonds} river securing him a full double while putting a small dent in Sylvia's stack.

Where Are They Now: Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley Battled Stu Ungar at 1997 WSOP

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley, 70, was one of the most feared players in the game. In fact, he even went toe-to-toe with the legendary Stu Ungar at the final table of the 1997 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It was there that Stanley donned a tuxedo while playing in the intense Las Vegas heat on Fremont Street.

Stanley, who has been playing poker for a living for “at least 50 years,” was recently spotted at the 2022 WSOP and was kind enough to chat with PokerNews.

“My dad used to play poker and he’d take me to the games when I was a kid,” he said about how he learned poker in the first place. “I was watching and it got pretty interesting. He was pretty good at it and I picked it up from him. It’s in my blood I guess.”

While he hasn’t had any major tournament scores since before the Poker Boom, Stanley is still on the grind.

“I play poker 5-6 days a week at least, mostly cash games,” he said. “In Vegas, I mostly play at South Point, but I’ve been in South Carolina for six months playing a lot of home games.”

Kolev Gone

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player on the button moved all in and Yuliyan Kolev called with the effective stack out of the big blind.

Yuliyan Kolev: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Button Player: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Kolev was dominated and would need significant help to survive. He did pair his kicker on the {8-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop but so did his opponent. He was unable to improve on the {9-Clubs} turn or {10-Clubs} river, sending him out of the tournament towards the end of the late registration period.

Foxen Chops One Up

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Foxen had just taken his seat when he called off a small blind shove out of the big blind to put himself at risk.

Alex Foxen: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Small Blind Player: {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}

All signs pointed towards a chop pot and that is exactly what happened following the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Spades} runout.
