A Swift Double-Up For Williams

[user46392]

A most likely demoralized David Williams wasted no time in getting his chips in, and has now doubled up to 30,000 courtesy of Tom Dwan, all in by the turn.

Go West

MarcC

Neil Channing, Tim West and Chris Ferguson all saw a {7-Spades}

flop.

Ferguson bet from the big blind before Channing called and West moved in from the small blind. Ferguson folded but Channing made the call.

West: {9-Clubs}

Channing:

The turn

and river

gave Channing a straight and Tim heads west out the exit door.

Channing is on 43,000 now and he told me he also eliminated Barry Greenstein a little while before, when it all went in from the blinds with random cards and Channing came out on top and with a signed book.

I've Got a Bradpiece Of That

[user46392]

Jerome Bradpiece has picked up a healthy pot, calling a bet on the river with a flush to take it down. The size of the pot suggests little action before the river, but Josh Gould bet 3,000 with the board reading {9-Diamonds}

and was called by both Magnus Persson and Bradpiece. Bradpiece turned over {Q-Diamonds}

-X- X, and both other players mucked, looking glum.

One and Done

[user38449]

The upcoming level will be the last of the evening. The tournament clock shows 63 players remaining, with the average chip stack at 52,400. Expect to see significant action here in the last level of play, as many of the short stacks will start making moves, hoping to either double up or go broke before tomorrow's Day 2.

Rollercoaster Ends for Madsen

[user46392]

Jeff Madsen was briefly in possession of a 65,000 stack after pushing Mohammed Barkatul off a pot by moving all in on the river of a {K-Clubs}

board, leaving Barkatul with 37,000. However, just a few hands later and he was doubling up a rallying David Williams thusly:

Williams: {4-Clubs}

Madsen:

Board:

"That's for knocking over my chips earlier," said Williams, in much better spirits now. Incidentally, Mohammed Barkatul narrowly missed disaster there -- he was telling anyone who'd listen that he'd passed a pair of queens with a king.

--------------------

And just a few hands after that, Williams finished the job. "Yeah, and I got the rest of 'em!" he said, as Madsen hurriedly left the table.

Madsen: {5-Diamonds}

Ka-Powell

[user46392]

Brian Powell is our latest casualty, eliminated by Shaun Deeb with a gentlemanly handshake to send him on his way.

Multi-Tabling

MarcC

Sherkhan Farnood only has about 19,000 chips. I would say "in front of him" normally but if I'd said that I would have to say he had 440,000 in front of him. Confused?

I'll clear it up then. Farnood is still playing in the H.O.R.S.E event final table where he's currently second in chips with three players left. I'd say that 19,000 chips isn't too bad then for a player who can only play in breaks from his priority tournament.
