They had played well to make it to this point, but the wrong cards, in the wrong place, at the wrong time put an end to their tournament. The former world champion Seed was attempting to become the first player to win both the WSOP and WSOP Europe main event titles. Player Tags: Huck Seed, Markus Golser, Dan Fleyshman, Darren Woods, Thomas Bichon, James Mitchell Level 14 Update: Kid Poker Hits RailSep 26, '10 Blinds: 1,500-3,000 with a 400 ante Players Remaining: 43 of 346 Chip Counts: 1 Andrew Pantling — 795,000 Average Chip Count: 241,395 Notable Eliminations: Eli Elezra Big Hands: 2009 Runner-Up Eliminated Daniel Negreanu just handed his stack over to Darren Woods who has already been sitting in the top 10 since early yesterday. Woods bets 7,100 from the cut-off and Negreanu makes it 20,100 from the small blind. Woods thought for a while and raised it up. However Negreanu insta-shoved for just a little more and Woods was committed to call. It was A-K versus pocket threes for Negreanu and Woods respectively. The threes held however and Negreanu stood up looking a little pale. He said, " I can’t believe you thought I was going to fold there. I’m never folding in that spot." Negreanu’s hopes of taking a seat at his third consecutive World Series of Poker Europe main event final table have now been destroyed, along with many others’ as the field has been quickly demolished on day 3. Loss for Levi Freddy Deeb bets 7,500 from the hijack and the button, Anthony Newman. moves all in for 41,000. Nicolas Levi calls from the big blind and Deeb folds showing an ace. The board comes 8 7 4 2 8. Levi holds J J but Newman has Q Q and so improves to 88,000. Levi has 150,000 in chips now. Blom Versus de Wolfe Roland de Wolfe is on Viktor Blom’s left and the two have been battling it out in the past level, along with Thomas Bichon. De Wolfe bet 7,200 and Bichon made it 21,500. Blom called, as did de Wolfe, and the three saw a 9 5 4 board. It was checked to the K turn and de Wolfe and Blom checked again. Bichon bet 41,000 and his two opponents folded their cards. De Wolfe dropped a little to 120,000 while Bichon increased his stack to 355,000. It wasn’t long before de Wolfe was involved in another pot, but this time for his tournament life. Blom made it 6,800 from mid-late position and de Wolfe called from the hijack. The two went heads up to the J 7 6 flop and Blom bet 14,500. De Wolfe looked at his opponent and then called. The turn was the 10 and both players quietly checked. The river was the 5 and Blom bet 25,000. De Wolfe moved all in and it was 61,800 more for Blom to call. After a few minutes he did, but de Wolfe turned over 5 5 for a rivered set and Blom mucked his hand. De Wolfe improves to 215,000. Blondeau Takes from Ivey Two other players going to battle are Rudy Blondeau and Phil Ivey. With around 41,000 in the pot and the board showing A K 2 2 6 Ivey was staring down Blondeau as he decided how much to bet. He went for 23,000, but Ivey didn’t take long to make it 81,000. Blondeau went into the tank but eventually called and flipped over A J. Ivey showed A Q and the two chopped the pot. They didn’t have to wait much longer to face each other again. Ivey bet 7,500 from the hijack and Blondeau made it 21,500 from the button. Ivey let it go. In the next hand Ivey then bet 7,500 again and Blondeau made it 21,500 once more. This time Ivey called and they saw a 7 5 2 flop. Ivey studied his opponent with widened, darting eyes and then checked. Blondeau did not make eye contact and quietly put 26,500 out in front of him. Ivey let his hand go again and drops to 430,000, which is still among the top 10. Blondeau improves to 246,000. Trouble for Inizan Marc Inizan bets 7,075 from UTG+1 and gets two callers, the button and the big blind. The flop comes down 10 4 7 and Inizan bets 10,100. Hoi Cheung (the button) comes along for the ride, while the big blind steps aside. The turn is the 2 and Inizan bets 22,500. Cheung moves all in for 58,200 and Inizan goes into the tank. He eventually folds and Cheung collects the pot. Mitchell Takes a Hit James Mitchell bets 7,300 from the hijack and Viktor Blom calls. Ronald Lee then moves all in for another 79,300 and Mitchell calls. Blom folds and the two flip over their cards. Mitchell: J J Board: A Q 9 Q 8 Mitchell’s stack takes a hit and he is now on 126,000. Lee doubles up just before break. Timoshenko vs. Seed Yevgeniy Timoshenko raised to 8,000 preflop and Huck Seed reraised to 23,500. Timoshenko made the call and the flop fell 10 9 5. Both players checked and the Q fell on the turn. Timoshenko bet 29,000 after some thought and Seed made the call. The river fell 4 and Timoshenko checked after spending some time in the tank. Seed checked as well and he flipped over J J after Timoshenko had revealed K Q. Seed dropped to 115,000 after the hand and Timoshenko rose to 360,000. Left in the Deck Chip Movers and Shakers Andrew Pantling has had a fantastic level and has come to the fore as chip leader with just under 800,000 in chips. It’s still a tough leader board however with the likes of Phil Ivey, Arnaud Mattern, Viktor Blom, and Thomas Bichon in the top 10. Mattern is on Pantling’s left with just under 400,000 in chips.

The other one called and the flop came Q103 and action went check-check. The turn brought the 3 and Margets’ opponent checked. Margets bet 575 and her opponent called. The turn brought the 9 and action went check-check. Margets’ opponent tabled pocket fives and she exposed her pair of tens. Margets took the pot.

Bach Scoops Hellmuth Phil Hellmuth bet 4,000 on fifth street and David Bach made the call. Hellmuth checked sixth street and Bach bet 4,000. Hellmuth called and check-called another 4,000 on seventh street. Bach turned over (AK4)Q276 for ace-king high and an 7-6 low. Hellmuth turned over (Q63)A985, unable to squeeze out a pair or a better low than Bach and was scooped. Hellmuth dropped another pot to Bach and was at 31,300 while Bach was up to 83,000. Seed Chops To Stay Alive David Bach made it 2,000 to go and Huck Seed raised to 4,000. Bach made the call and then led out for 2,000 on fourth street. Seed called for his last 900 in chips and Bach pulled out his change. Bach was showing 82 but flipped his hole cards, revealing KK. “I don’t like my hand,” Seed said. He turned over 76 to go with his AQ. Bach eventually made two pair, kings and fours, while Seed made a 7-low on sixth street and improved to a 6-low on seventh to salvage half the pot. He still only had 6,500 while Bach was at 84,000. Player Tags: Huck Seed, Matthew Lefkowitz, Phil Hellmuth, David Bach, Jason Mercier |

Vladimir Schmelev – 180,000 Notable Eliminations: Amnon Filippi Big Hands: Amnon Filippi Eliminated Kirk Morrison completed the bring-in and after a moment Alan Boston folded and action was on a very short-stacked Amnon Filippi. Filippi then reraised and it folded back to Morrison. Morrison and Filippi got all of Filippi’s remaining chips in on third street. Filippi had concealed nines and an ace showing against Morrison’s concealed kings and a ten. By sixth street, Morrison had made kings-up, and Filippi never improved past a pair of nines, sending him home in the beginning of the last level of the day. Lind Cripples Raptor On sixth street, George Lind and David Benefield were locked up in a hand with their boards looking like this. Lind: (X-X)-K-Q-5-2 Lind bet sixth and was called by Benefield. After the river was dealt, Lind bet again and was called by Benefield.

Huck Seed Eliminated Huck Seed got all of his money in against Bill Munley and by sixth street, Munley had aces and jacks showing on his board.

Erik Sagstrom Eliminated by David Singer We got to the table as Sagstrom was putting the last of his chips in against David Singer. Singer had nothing but ace high but Sagstrom missed his straight draw and was eliminated from the tournament. Player Tags: Huck Seed, David Singer, Amnon Filippi, Erik Sagstrom, David Benefield |
