Chip Counts at the Break

A few updated counts as players prepare for the day's first break:

Andrejevic vs. Vayo

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

With about 10,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, Andjelko Andrejevic checked from the small blind and Gordon Vayo bet 6,600 from the big blind. Andrejevic check-raised to 22,500 and Vayo called.

The {4-Spades} fell on the river and Andrejevic bet 35,000. Vayo called and Andrejevic tabled {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a set of nines which was good enough to win the pot.

Jean Ferreira opened from under the gun and was called by Connor Drinan and Millard Hale in middle position. A player in the big blind moved all in and the three other players all called.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} and it checked to Drinan who bet 6,500. Both Ferreira and Hale folded.

"You're drawing slim," said Drinan showing {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a full house. The all-in player showed {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and the river the {7-Spades} and the player was eliminated.

Aleksei Altshuller Takes from Bobby Oboodi

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

With about 18,000 chips already in the middle and the completed board reading {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}, Aleksei Altshuller bet 9,500 into his lone opponent, Bobby Oboodi, who was under the gun. After brief consideration, Oboodi called and Altshuller flipped over {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for trip nines with a queen, which was good enough to win the pot as Oboodi sent his cards into the muck.

Dan Shak Bides His Time

Dan Shak raised from the cutoff to 6,500. Henri Koivisto three-bet to 25,000 from the button. The blinds folded and eventually so did Shak, but not before showing {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Koivisto flashed him the {10-Spades}.

"Oh no, the {10-Spades}," said tablemate Scott Baumstein, "He blocked your straight with the seven-nine!"

"I don't like putting 50,000 in with kings," said Shak, referring to Koivisto's short stack before the start of the hand. "At least not yet!"

The table laughed.

"Later," continued Shak, "Desperation time. Well, it's not desperation time for anybody yet."

Michail Karapanos Doubles

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

With a substantial pot of about 80,000 already brewing and the board reading {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Michail Carapanos and Hani Mio got all the chips in the middle with Karapanos at risk.

Michail Karapanos: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Hani Mio: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Karapanos had the best of it with his pair of aces and improved to trips on the {A-Clubs} river to secure the double-up.

Justin Bonomo's Stack Takes a Knock

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

With the board reading {3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} Justin Bonomo checked to Alberto Fonseca who bet 11,600.

Bonomo thought for a few moments before calling but mucked when Fonseca showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for the nut flush.
