Level 8 Update: End of Day 1; de Wolfe Leads PackJun 11, '09
Be sure to check back with CardPlayer.com tomorrow as we bring you all of the live action from this marquee event. Blinds: 500-1,000 with a 300 ante Players Remaining: 60 out of 96 Chip Counts: 1. Roland de Wolfe — 165,000 Average Chip Count: 48,000 Notable Eliminations: Phil Helllmuth Big Hands:
Phil Hellmuth was all in before the draw in a four-way pot, with two of his opponents drawing one card each as Amnon Filippi stood pat. Dan Harmetz bets after the draw as Filippi calls and the fourth opponent folds. Harmetz turns over a 10-8-7-6-5 low and rakes the pot, eliminating Phil Hellmuth in the process
Freddy Deeb raises to 2,500 from the button, John Juanda reraises to 10,000 from the small blind and Deeb calls. Both players draw one card each. First to act, Juanda tanks for several minutes on his own action before betting 65,000 (enough to put Deeb all in). Deeb counts his stack (44,650) and makes the dealer give Juanda back his change. This would be Deeb’s first attempt to try and steal information from his opponent. Deeb would tank for another few minutes, asking Juanda a series of questions as he desperately looks for a sign of weakness. He doesn’t get what he’s looking for and decides to fold. Juanda re-checks his cards as Deeb tells him to show the bluff. Just as Juanda is about to turn over his cards, Bobby Bellande chimes in and tells him not to. Juanda looks at his friend and leaves the decision up to him. “Do you want me to show or not?” He asks Bellande. Bellande replies with a straight face, “Don’t show your cards, because if it is a bluff I’m gonna want to call you down all night.” Juanda listens to his friend and opts not to show the hand as the whole table gets a laugh, including Bellande who we’re pretty sure was serious. Huck Seed Eliminated It was a three-way all in pot before the draw between Huck Seed (4,000), Bryan Colin (29,000) and Layne Flack (had them both covered). Seed and Colin both drew one card each as Flack stood pat. Flack turned over a 9-8-7-4-2 low while Colin drew to an 8-6-4-3-2 low. Seed thre his cards into the muck as Colin raked the pot, eliminating Huck Seed and chopping Flack’s stack down to 35,000. .

Seat 4 mucked and Rousso took the pot, improving to 35,000. He’s Supposed To Win With 1,500 in the pot, it was time for David Grey and Phil Ivey to draw cards. Draw: Grey draws 1 card, Ivey stands pat “It’s okay,” Grey said as he was dealt his card. “He’s supposed to beat me.” Grey looked down at his hand and then bet 2,000.

Vanessa Rousso raised to 300 from the cutoff and the player in seat 2 was next to act on the button. He repopped it to 4,300 more and Rousso made the call. It was then time to draw. Draw: Rousso Stands Pat, Seat 2 Stands Pat Rousso showed down 9-7-4-3-2 and her opponent flashed a 10, then he mucked his hand. Rousso scored a nice sized pot early on and she was up to almost 20,000, her two reload chips still intact. Chan And Lindgren Tangle After both players had drawn their cards, Johnny Chan fired 800 into the pot and Lindgren thought for a few moments before making the call. Chan showed a 10-low and Lindgren mucked his hand. Chan took in the pot and was around 13,000 in the early going. Lindgren dropped to 9,200 but would get some back in later hands.
The player in seat 5 min-raised to 200 and Lindgren made the call. Draw: Seat 5 draws 1 card, Lindgren draws 1 card Erick Lindgren led out for 600 after the draw and his opponent mucked his hand, giving the pot to Lindgren. But Lindgren was not done.

Seat 6 mucked his hand and Lindgren took down another pot. Lindgren was up to 16,000 with his two reload chips still intact. Seed Pushes Grizzle Out Sam Grizzle raised to 600 from early position and action folded around to Huck Seed in the big blind. Seed then raised it 2,600 total and action was back on Grizzle. Grizzle tanked for a bit and then threw his cards into the muck. Seed took in the pot and he was up to 32,000 after he used his two reload chips. Left In The Deck: Bartender, I’ll Take A Double Shot As the tournament began, it was explained to Sam Grizzle that the two red chips in front of him were to rebuy his chips. Grizzle needed clarification from Huck Seed and Mike Matusow that these chips were just reload chips and that they would not cost anything extra. This was a relief to Grizzle, who said “If this is a rebuy tournament I am not playing.” After this was explained, Grizzle elected to take his reload immediately and Huck Seed followed suit. Players can use their reload at any time during the first three levels. If they do not use it by the end of level 3, the players are forced to take the 20,000 in chips.
