Apicella Among the Big Stacks in the Field

Christian Zetzsche

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 175 players remaining, the field is now entirely in the Silver section. One of the bigger stacks in the field is Austin Apicella, who has steadily increased his stack throughout the day thus far.

Fresh off winning a pot, he made it 13,000 to go on the button and called a pot-sized three-bet by Sean Rafael in the big blind. Rafael then potted for 88,000 on the 10♠7♥3♥ flop and Apicella folded. He still has more than three times as many chips as Rafael, though.

Player	Chips	Progress
Austin Apicella	670,000 360,000	360,000
Sean Rafael	195,000 24,000	24,000

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna made a bet of 27,000 from the big blind on a flop of 2♥9♦10♠. His opponent called in the hijack, after which both checked the 8♦ turn.

On the A♣ river, Suvarna fired 87,000, and this was enough to make his opponent fold.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Shiva Dudani raised from the hijack and William Benson three-bet most of his chips in from the button. Dudani called and put his opponent all in on the subsequent Q♠4♥8♥ flop.

Benson called it off for his tournament life as the players showed down.

William Benson: A♥K♥J♣4♣ All in
Shiva Dudani: A♣Q♥10♣2♦

Dudani made a pair of queens on the flop, and that remained the best hand as the 3♦ turn and 6♦ river could not help Benson.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After he had previously chipped up through Elie Nakache, Phil Ivey sent the chips back in the same direction and was sent to the rail. They only got it in after the 7♠5♠2♠6♣J♠ river on which Nakache showed the A♠K♥Q♣8♠ for the nut flush and Ivey tossed his cards towards the muck.

The dealer briefly exposed what appeared to be a nine-high straight.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On the tail end of the 6♦5♦2♦6♥Q♠ board, Andrew Watson checked with 72,000 behind. Emanuel Singer then bet 150,000 to cover his opponent.

Watson tank-called and Singer declared "just the six" before showing A♠10♠8♥6♣ for trips sixes. Watson had that beat with K♦K♥5♠5♥ for fives full of sixes to double right before their table broke.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Phil Ivey had raised his button and Elie Nakache defended his big blind when the flop was dealt 4♠7♣A♣. Nakache then check-called a 20,000 bet from Ivey before the latter jammed all in for 72,000 on the Q♥ turn.

Nakache quickly mucked his hand, and the pot was shipped to the 11-time bracelet winner.

Josh Arieh opened to 13,000 from under the gun and then called after a player in the big blind three-bet to 42,000.

The big blind continued for 20,000 on the 3♦6♥6♣ flop with Arieh making the call.

Both players checked through the 9♣ turn to the 5♣ river at which point they each checked to showdown. The big blind tabled A♣A♥K♥J♠ for a winner to send Arieh slipping further down the chip counts.
