Chip Counts From the Orange Section

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Lee Wins a Race

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

A player in early position raised to 1,100. Brian Lee was in late position and moved all in for roughly 12,000. The original raiser called all in for roughly 9,500, and the players turned over their hands.

Lee tabled {a-Spades}{q-Spades}, and his opponent showed {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}, giving Lee a flush draw and overcards. The turn was the {k-Hearts}, and the river was the {k-Spades}, giving Lee a flush and eliminating his opponent.

[Removed:550] Loses a Chunk

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We arrived at the table to see a sizeable pot brewing between [Removed:532] and a heads-up opponent. There looked to be about 16,000 in the middle and a completed board reading {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

The action was on [Removed:550], who faced a bet of 6,600. [Removed:550] gave it some thought before making the call. His opponent tabled {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and [Removed:550] mucked.

Skip Wilson
Skip Wilson

With about 3,500 in the pot and the board reading {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, three players get all their chips in the middle. Michael Gagliano had {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, Skip Wilson tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}, and the third opponent showed {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Gagliano had everyone covered and Wilson had 18,075 total and was the shortest of the stacks.

The board ran out {6-Spades} {4-Spades} and Wilson faded a lot of outs to take down a monster pot and put him easily in the top 10 chip stacks of the day. Gagliano won a side pot worth approximately 2,000 and is still sitting in a very decent spot.

Tanned Stacks in the Amazon

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Yurasov Holds

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in late position raised to 900. Dmitry Yurasov was on the button and three-bet to 2,600. The original raiser then four-bet all in and Yurasov called.

Yurasov tabled {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and his opponent showed {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} {6-Hearts} {q-Hearts} and Yurasov's boat was more than enough to win the pot.

A New Sheriff in Town

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Dave Shober
Dave Shober

Though it's not always easy to tell in a room with over 1,000 players still looming, it would appear at the moment that the new chip leader is Dave Shober.

As we approached the table, Shober's stack already stood out among his tablemates but he was active in a hand as well.

There looked to be about 10,000 already in the pot of a {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} board and Shober had bet 5,750 on the river. His opponent had a decision and eventually made the call. Shober tabled {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens and his opponent nodded in submission, mucking his cards.
