Michael Gagliano Loses a Massive Pot to Bust Before Break

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Michael Gagliano
Michael Gagliano

With heaps of chips already in the middle of the table on a board of {6-Spades}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Jeff Fielder bet 15,000.

Michael Gagliano was to his right and he moved all in for just about 25,000 more. Fielder sighed, leaned back and said, "As soon as I bet 15,000 I knew this was going to happen."

Eventually, Fielder settled on a call. Gagliano turned up {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a set of sixes, but Fielder showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} for a higher set of queens. Gagliano immediately realized his fate, stood up, wished everyone luck and exited the tournament area while Fielder became one of the tournament's chip leaders.

Wantman Four Bet Shoves

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Matthew Wantman raised it up to 1,400 from the button, and the small blind announced raise before tossing out an orange 5,000 chip. The big blind got out of the way, and Wantman shoved all in after about 30 seconds of thought.

The small blind asked for a count, and it was determined to be 28,575. After about 90 seconds in the tank, he released his hand, and Wantman took down the pot.

Big Blind Special for Dunst

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Three players saw a flop of {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, including Tony Dunst in the big blind. The small blind checked, as did Dunst, and the preflop raiser made it 1,500 to go from the hijack. Both the blinds called, and the {9-Diamonds} came on the turn. It checked to the hijack again, and he fired out 3,500. This time, only Dunst called, and the {10-Diamonds} completed the board.

One more check from Dunst drew a bet of 6,500 from the hijack, and Dunst immediately tossed in a chip for the call. The hijack rolled over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, but the rockets were no good, as Dunst tabled {Q-Spades}{2-Spades} for trip deuces.

Wilson Takes from Cheong on the Party Table

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Danny Wong was under the gun and raised to 1,350. He was called by Alex Wilson in the cutoff and Joseph Cheong in the small blind.

The flop was {3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Cheong checked. Action was on Wong and he said, "I can't act until I'm done chugging this beer." He then cheers'd with JC Tran and Wilson before he displayed one of the worst chugging skills this reporter has seen in a while, and then checked. Wilson bet 2,175 and Cheong called, Wong folded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} and Cheong check-called Wilson's bet of 2,675.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked. Cheong announced, "four high." and Wilson tabled {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to take it down.

After the hand the players were joking and laughing. Wong asked, "Isn't this the most fun table you guys have ever played on?" to which most agreed as the drinking continued. They are by far the most boisterous table in the room and they are all having a great time.

Hellmuth Loses One With a Worse King High; Doesn't Explode Yet

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Phil Hellmuth opened with a raise to 1,800 from the button and he was called by the small blind. Both players checked on the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop.

The small blind continued with a check on the {Q-Diamonds} turn, then called a bet of 1,200 from Hellmuth.

On the {2-Diamonds} river the small blind checked again and Hellmuth checked it back.

"King high," he said. The small blind showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for what must've been a better king high because Hellmuth mucked.

Hellmuth though made no comment and only went back to playing on his cellphone without saying anything.

Wasserson Continues to Chip up

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

In a four-way pot with about 5,500 in the middle and the board reading {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} Eric Wasserson was in late position and bet 3,000. A player in the big blind called and two others folded.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the big blind checked. After taking quite a while to think about it, Wasserson piled in enough to cover his opponent and got a fold.
