Quads are Good

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Dan Lacourse and Charles Champlin got all the chips in the middle preflop with Champlin tabling {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Lacourse showing {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Champlin was at risk as Lacourse had him covered and the flop came down {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, keeping Lacourse firmly in control and Champlin needing a combination of a queen or runner-runner outs.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and Champlin improved to a set of queens. The river was the {q-Diamonds} and quads would take it. Champlin now breathes new life into his stack as he tries to maneuver back into a good chip position.

Next Break

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Players on their second break of the day. Here are some of the chip stacks from around the room:

William Payne Eliminates Two Players

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

There was a three-way all-in and William Payne had both of his opponents covered, as well as the best hand. Payne tabled {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} while his opponents showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the pocket aces of Payne held up to eliminate two players right before the break.

On the Road to Recovery

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Judy Rhodes was down to her last 3,200 in chips in the small blind. She found a triple-up right before we arrived to the table to see the following hand:

Judy Rhodes was on the button and moved all in for 12,800. William Payne was in the small blind and called.

Rhodes tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Payne showed {q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The board ran out {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} and Rhodes made a full house to get back into the game and pulling her stack up just short of 30,000.

Rhodes had a very good friend of hers, Mike Parizon, on the rail who arrived just prior to her back-to-back all-ins and as she was raking in the pot she said, "Don't you dare go anywhere," as he continued to hug the rail giving her a giant smile.

James Moore On the Road to Repeat

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
James Moore
James Moore

James Moore is the defending champion of the Super Seniors Event and is on the road to defending his title this time around. Moore came into the day with a shorter stack of around 20,000 but has spun it up to over 200,000 now.

Moore recently got involved in a pot with Jonathan Hildner and there was around 60,000 in the middle before the flop. The dealer fanned the flop of {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Moore led out for 20,000. Hildner called and the {8-Hearts} fell on the river. Both players checked again and Moore tabled {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} which was good enough to beat Hildner's {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Woods on a Roll

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
James Woods
James Woods

In the most recent hand, James Woods was on the button and raised to 7,500. John Junker was in the small blind and called.

The flop was {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Junker check-folded after Woods bet 12,000. Woods then said, "Show me and I'll show you." Junker did, tabling {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and Woods flipped over pocket kings.

Woods started the day with 73,600 chips and has moved up the leaderboard quite nicely today. Keep an eye on him throughout.
