Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was followed from when Leo Margets jammed the small blind for around 700,000, Jessica Vierling called for her remaining stack of 420,000 from under the gun, and action was on Raymond Power, who covered them both, to make a decision from middle position.

Power called, and the players flipped their cards.

Jessica Vierling: Q♣Q♥ All in
Leo Margets: A♠A♣ All in
Raymond Power: A♥K♦

Margets was ahead and remained so on the 4♥6♠7♦ flop.

Vierling took the lead with a set on the Q♠ turn, and she held on the 4♠ river, tripling up her stack.

Delay, Debate Over Chips

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jerome Solomon

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Play was halted on Table 509 for a full 14 minutes over a dispute involving Wai Kit Lo and Ryan Gibbs.

Lo pushed all in, Gibbs made the call.

Wai Kit Lo: 9♥9♣ All in
Ryan Gibbs: J♥J♦

The runout came to a dramatic finish 4♦J♠7♦8♠10♦, as Gibbs' set of jacks were toppled by Lo's gutshot straight on the river. The dealer inadvertently began to push the pot to Gibbs.

Lo, halted that, but before the dealer had finished pushing the pot to him, Gibbs had removed some chips from it.

Gibbs says he was simply taking his preflop raise back and making change to pay Lo the nearly 400,000 owed. Lo believed chips that were his were taken. He even had a video that he said supported his claim.

The tournament director didn't see it his way, however. After much debate, a second floor person was called in, and the decision was made to have Gibbs pay Lo 385,000, and if WSOP video showed he was due more, then stacks would be adjusted.

Play resumed.

Later, there was another five-minute discussion when the tournament director came to tell Lo that no extra chips were taken.

The director told both players that the issue was dead and a penalty would be imposed if either brought it up again.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ryan Gibbs	1,080,000 320,000	320,000
Wai Lo	860,000 300,000	300,000

James Kohl opened from under the gun, and Jessica Vierling called from the button. Raymond Power moved all in from the big blind for his remaining 145,000, and Kohl called. Vierling asked for a count, before also calling.

The flop came A♦2♦4♣, and action was checked by Kohl and Vierling on the 6♦ turn and 8♦ river.

Raymond Power: K♥7♦ All in
Jessica Vierling: K♣J♠
James Kohl: XxXx

Power showed the seven of diamonds as he had picked up the flush on the river, tripling his stack.

Vierling remarked, "How did you win that?" as she showed king-jack offsuit. Kohl quickly flashed his hand, and it was mucked by the dealer.

Jessica Vierling	1,765,000 195,000	195,000
