Players are Still Registering

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Registration for this event remains open until the start of Day 2, and several players are taking advantage of that. Sam Trickett, Matt Glantz, and Dan Smith all skipped the first five levels and just showed up very recently to take their seats with fresh stacks on separate tables.

Micah Smith limped in, and Ben Tollerene raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Ajay Chabra three-bet the pot to 12,800 on the button, and the action folded back to Tollerene, who called.

On the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, Tollerene checked, and Chabra bet the pot. Tollerene check-raisee all in for his last 46,200, Chabra called, and the cards were tabled.

Ben Tollerene: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} (flush)
Ajay Chabra: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} (top set)

Neither the {4-Clubs} turn nor the {3-Clubs} river paired the board, and Tollerene doubled.

Lunkin Squashes Benyamine

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

On the turn of a {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board, Vitaly Lunkin bet 26,000, and David Benyamine called, leaving himself with less than 1,000.

The {9-Hearts} river completed the board, and Lunkin tossed out a yellow T-1,000 chip, putting Benyamine to the test. Benyamine called and mucked when Lunkin tabled {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

Calderaro and Parvizi Entertain the Table

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

There was plenty of laughter to hear from Yevgeniy Timoshenko and JC Tran, and plenty of banter emerged on their table between James Calderaro and Iraj Parvizi. Apparently, the latter had just doubled through the former in a big pot, and Calderaro joked, "I don't want to say I got it in in a bad way. It was a shit way."

"You want to finish me off?" Calderaro asked and raised the next hand to 2,800. Parvizi called on the button, and the flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Calderaro bet 3,000, and Parvizi called. "I check, I can't beat the nuts," Calderaro announced before the {5-Hearts} appeared on the turn. Parvizi checked back, and the {8-Hearts} river completed the board. Calderaro bet 5,000, and Parvizi folded, before Calderaro said, "I had a flush draw," while flashing {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

The outcome? Parvizi is among the chip leaders while Calderaro dropped well below the starting stack.

Tollerene Runs Bad

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

The stack of Ben Tollerene keeps shrinking, and he was just involved in a five-way hand that also included Micah Smith and Quan Zhou. The latter bet the {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop for 6,000 from the big blind, and Tollerene was the only caller. Both then checked the {Q-Diamonds} turn and {4-Diamonds} river.

Tollerene announced a flush and showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, but it was no good against Zhou's turned full house with {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}.

Chop it Up

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

On a four-way flop of {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}, Zorlu Er bet 8,000 from the button, and Jan-Peter Jachtmann check-raised to 25,000 from the small blind. That forced out Anthony Zinno, in the big blind, and Michael Huntress, under the gun, before Er raised the pot. Jachtmann moved all in, and Er called.

Jan-Peter Jachtmann: {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Zorlu Er: {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Both players had flopped a full house, and neither one had a redraw to a better hand, having blocked each other's outs. Jachtmann shrugged and smiled while the meaningless {K-Hearts} turn and {3-Spades} river completed the board.

Jachtmann dropped to just below the starting stack, while Er is back to exactly the starting stack after the hand.

Romanello Takes a Hit

Level 5 : 400/800, 0 ante

With about 50,000 brewing in the pot on a {5-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board, Roberto Romanello bet 20,400 into his heads-up opponent. His opponent quickly raised, making it 55,000, and Romanello slid his cards into the muck.
