Shawn Sheikhan Eliminated In 11th Place ($10,165)Mar 15, '16 In a blind-vs-blind battle all of the chips got in preflop with Shawn Sheikhan holding the 99 up against the KJ of Ludovic Geilich. The board ran out Q1077K to pair Geilich’s king, earning him the pot and sending Sheikhan to the rail in 11th place with $10,165. Geilich now sits with 1,920,000 in chips heading into the final 10. Player Tags: Shawn Sheikhan Ludovic Geilich Bluffs Shawn SheikhanMar 15, '16 On a flop of K97, Shawn Sheikhan is first to act from the small blind and checks, as does Ludovic Geilich in the big blind. Craig Varnell bets 52,000 and Sheikhan check raises to 127,000. Geilich calls, as does Varnell. The turn is the 7 and Sheikhan bets 160,000. Geilich calls and Varnell folds. The river is the 8 and this time, Sheikhan checks. Geilich then moves all in, putting Sheikhan’s last 450,000 at risk. Sheikhan thinks it over for about two minutes before he eventually mucks and Geilich is proud to show him the 86 for a busted open-ended straight draw. Geilich now has 1,850,000 in chips. Player Tags: Shawn Sheikhan, Ludovic Geilich Shawn Sheikhan Gets A Fold From Ludovic GeilichMar 15, '16 We caught up with the action on a board reading J725 with about 300,000 in the pot. Shawn Sheikhan was all in for his last 334,000 and Ludovic Geilich went into the tank. After about two minutes, Angelo Spinazzola, who has about 135,000, calls the clock. The tournament director comes over and begins the countdown and with a few seconds left, Geilich folds. Sheikhan then shows A10 for a turned flush draw and Geilich takes exception with Spinazzola’s decision to call the clock. Spinazzola explains that he is short stacked and had to do it with the blinds about to go up, but Geilich isn’t convinced. Sheikhan now has about 650,000 in chips.

Level Four, Hour One: Little Chops, Then DoublesJul 08, '10 Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Notable Chip Counts: 1. Brent Baldrey – 150,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts Jeff Shulman — 5,600 Big Hands: Little Chops Up a Big One Jonathan Little push his opponent all in for around 10,000 and was called. Their hands: Little: AK They held the same hand, but when the flop ran 527 Little saw he had a backdoor flush draw. “Freeroll,” he said. But the board finished without two more diamonds and they chopped the pot. Little is still relatively short with just 13,000 in chips. Lee Busts to Aces A short-stacked Doug Lee got all in preflop holding 77, but his opponent held the big bad AA. The board ran 552J4 and Lee was gone. Varkonyi Loses Big One Robert Varkonyi’s opponent was all in, creating a pretty large pot on a board of 2948J. Varkonyi tanked for a while before making the call. Their hands: Varkonyi: J-8 Varkonyi’s two pair could not be his opponent’s nut flush, and the former main event champ dropped to 26,000 in chips. Singer Flexes The player under the gun raised to 1,000 and David Singer made it 3,400 to go. The blinds folded but the under the gun player called. The flop came down 952 and the player bet 4,300. Singer made the call and the 9 fell on the turn. The player checked and Singer pounced, moving all in for 10,625. His opponent mucked and Singer took the pot. He was at 20,000. Freddy Deeb Getting Short Four players, including Freddy Deeb, limped preflop and saw the KJ9 land on the felt. Everyone checked and the turn was the 5. The player in seat 1 bet 700 and everyone folded. Deeb was ailing with just 9,000 after the hand. Harman Gets Pushed Jennifer Harman and her opponent in seat 9 saw a flop of J55. Seat 9 bet 2,600 and Harman raised it up to 6,600. Seat 9 would not be pushed as he reraised to 14,600. Harman then went into the tank for a couple of minutes. The ESPN cameras noticed and surrounded the table. Harman shuffled her chips for what seemed like forever. Finally, she threw away her hand and slipped to 27,000. Rousso Jacks Up Opponent Vanessa Rousso and her opponent saw a flop J98. The action preflop was unclear, but seat 6 eventually ended up all in for 27,250. Rousso made the call. Rousso: JJ Rousso flopped top set but her opponent was drawing to an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the A, giving seat 6 a meaningless pair. The river was the 6 and Rousso dodged the draws to score the knockout. She was at 63,000 after the hand. Pavilion Room Update Johnathan Little Doubles Up Jonathan Little bet 800 from middle position and it was folded around to a player in the small blind. The big blind raised to 1,800 and Little called. The flop came Q99. The big blind bet 2,000 and Little made the quick call. The 5 fell on the turn and the big blind bet 3,600. Little called with only 5,950 behind. An off suit four hit the river and Little’s opponent set him all in. Little made the insta-call for his tournament life. His opponent exposed the KK but was no good against the 98 of Little. Little doubled to over 30,000. Shawn Sheikhan Outplayed It was folded around to the small blind. Shawn Sheikhan was in the big blind and was asking for a walk. However, the small blind completed and Sheikhan checked. The flop came KK10 and it was checked to Sheikhan. He fired out a bet of 800 before being check-raised to 2,000. Sheikhan quickly folded and his opponent showed him the 52 for 5-high. Sheikhan was at around 20,000 after the hand. Thomas Marchese Loses a Pot With about 10,000 in the middle on a board of 1053Q6, Marchese checked and his opponent checked behind. Marchese’s opponent announced pair and tabled A5.

Khamsy Nuanmanee – 132,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts Jeff Shulman — 7,300 Big Hands: Lisandro Loses a Big One Jeff Lisandro called a large bet on a flop of 4AJ and when the 3 fell on the turn his opponent bet 5,000. Lisandro again called and the 7 fell on the river. This time, both players slowed and checked the end. Their hands: Lisandro: AK Lisandro had flopped top pair but his opponent flopped top two pair. Lisandro lost the pot and dropped to around 23,000 in chips. Ivey Bullies Table Out of Pot In a limped three-way pot Phil Ivey bet 600 after the flop of 569. Both of his opponents called and quickly checked to him on the 9 turn. Ivey bet 1,800 this time and seat 3 folded, while seat 4 smiled and looked at Ivey, seemingly happy to be losing another pot to the best. He folded and Ivey took it down. Ivey had around 25,000 after the hand. Mercier Keeps Rolling The player under the gun raised to 800 and the small blind made the call. Jason Mercier was in the big blind and called as well and the three players saw the flop come down K87. Both blinds checked to the player under the gun and he fired 1,500. Mercier was the only caller and the turn was the 10. Both players checked and the 5 fell on the river. Both players checked again and Mercier showed 65 for a busted straight draw but a rivered pair of fives. It was good as his opponent mucked and Mercier was at 72,000. Greenstein Muscled Out Picking up the action after the flop, the board read J42. The player in seat 1 fired 1,000 and Barry Greenstein made it 2,000. Seat 1 then shoved for the rest of his stack. Greenstein had a perplexed look on his face after the move, then shrugged his shoulders and mucked. He was at 38,000. Pavilion Room Coverage Chris Ferguson Wins a Pot With about 6,000 in the pot on a board of J763 Chris Ferguson bet 5,000 and his opponent went into the tank. Ferguson’s opponent asked him if he would show but once he didn’t get a response from the poker pro he folded and tabled the 99 for a pair of nines. Ferguson flashed 7-3 for two pair and raked in the pot. He was at 38,000 after the hand. Fred Goldberg Drops a Pot A player bet into Fred Goldberg on the river. Goldberg made the call and his opponent tabled Q-J for the nut straight. Goldberg mucked and was down to 15,025 after the hand. Sheikhan Doubles Up Shawn Sheikhan moved his short stack all in on a flop of K73 and was called by the player in seat 2. Their hands: Sheikhan: K10 Sheikhan held the lead and his opponent was in trouble with only two queens or running hearts remaining as his saving grace. The 6 and 9 finished the board and Mr. Sheikhan doubled up to around 17,000. Arieh With the Huge Double Up Jason Potter raised to 725 and Josh Arieh three-bet it to 1,900. The player on the button called, but Potter got out of the way. The flop ran 492 and Arieh bet out 2,325. The button player raised to 6,600 and Arieh made the call. On the Q turn Arieh checked and the button bet 10,000. Arieh moved all in for 19,400 and the button called. Their hands: Arieh: 56 Arieh held the flopped flush and his opponent was drawing dead. The 4 finished the board and Arieh doubled up to 57,500. Varkonyi Chipping Up The 2002 winner of the main event Robert Varkonyi bet 7,000 on a board of 9810K and was called by one player.

Jason Alexander Wins Big One With Kings Jason Alexander bet 1,000 on a flop of 253 and was called by one player. The 2 came on the turn and Alexander bet 5,000 into the pot. His opponent called and the Q finished the board. Alexander checked for the first time and his opponent bet 7,000. Alexander called and they showed their hands: Alexander: KK Both players held high pocket pairs, but Alexander’s was best. He took the pot and boosted his stack to 33,000. J.C. Tran Wins a Pot J.C.

He was up to 48,000 after the hand. David Saab Takes Some off Kenny Tran Kenny Tran bet 800 and David Saab three-bet to 2,000. Tran thought about it for awhile before making the call.

The 6h came on the river and seat 8 checked to the aggressor. Buffer fired 2,500 and seat 8 checked his cards before letting them hit the muck. Buffer showed anyway, the A5 for a turned straight. He had around 35,000 after the hand. Hachem Loses to Two Pair Entering the action late, Joe Hachem faced a bet of 1,600 from his opponent on a board of Q8A109.

Ivey Forces a Big Laydown Entering the action late, a pot of 17,000 had developed on a board of 9463.

He sat with around 29,500 after the hand. Ferguson Takes A Pot, But John Phan The Star With 2,500 already in the pot preflop, Justin Smith fired 1,800 after the flop came down 876. Chris Ferguson was next to act and he raised it to 5,300. The action was then on John Phan, and the action stayed on John Phan for awhile. He tanked for more than three minutes, giving the ESPN camera crews along with other players time to crowd around the table. Phan counted out a call, then counted out a raise, then looked at his cards, then shuffled his chips altogether, then looked at his hand again. The player in seat 1 then leaned over to the dealer and asked in a whisper what the procedure was when asking to call a clock on a player. Eventually, Phan did release his hand. Smith did the same in much faster fashion as his cards almost beat Phan’s to the muck. Ferguson took the pot and he was back around 30,000. “You were going to get reraised anyway,” Phan told Smith after the hand. “Yeah,” Smith responed. “But I call you.” Smith was at 32,000 and Phan was at 28,000. Sheikhan Can’t Call Picking up the action after the board read AJ103, there was 800 in the pot and Shawn Sheikhan led out with 550. The player in seat 7 called as did the player in seat 10.

Kirk Morrison Sitting With Just a Beer Over in the pavilion room, Kirk Morrison was sitting at a table with a beer and no chips. Morrison wasn’t all in, but simply waiting to receive his chips and to be dealt a hand, after registering late on day 1d. Morrison was the last player that made it into the main event last year, but said he showed up this year fifteen minutes earlier in order to avoid another close call. David Saab Moves All In David Saab bet from early position and was called by an opponent on the button. The flop came J82 and Saab bet 1,000. His opponent raised to 3,125.

His opponents mucked and he took a small pot, adding to his stack of 9,700. Dobrilovic Wins the Race Preflop, Tom Dobrilovic raised to 800 and action folded to seat 7. He reraised to 2,100 and Dobrilove pushed all in. His opponent called, putting himself all in. He turned over AQ while Dobrilovic showed pocket fives. The race was on and the board ran out 1082K3, missing seat 7 completely and he was out, courtesy of Dobrilovic. His stack improved to 33,250. Micon Pushes Back The player in seat 8 raised to 900 from middle position and action folded to Bryan Micon in the small blind. He reraised to 3,500 total and the player in seat 8 mucked his hand. Micon took the pot and improved to 5,100. Tran Doing Well J.C. Tran just took down a pot holiding AQ on a board reading J105J10. Action was checked all the way and Tran’s pair of Queens was good enough to take a small pot and increase his stack to over 36,000. Left In the Deck: After the dinner break, 1,017 players returned for play of the original 3,021 for Day 1B. That means that there have been 5.5 eliminations per minute today, just slightly lower than the 5.9 average of Day 1A after the dinner break. Player Tags: J.C. Tran, Shawn Sheikhan, Jason Somerville, Bryan Micon Level 4 Update: Another Pro Eliminated With a FlushMay 31, '09 Blinds: 75-150 Players Remaining: 2,000 out of 3,021 Notable Eliminations: David Chiu Big Hands: David Chiu Eliminated David Chiu raised pre-flop with the 103 and was called by the big blind who held the K7. The flop came out ten high with two spades, putting Chiu out in front with top pair and a flush draw. However, his opponent with a higher flush draw, called Chiu’s all-in bet of just under 10 big blinds (1,450) and hit the spade on the turn. Both players nailed their flush, but Chiu was drawing dead for the river and was sent home on day 1. Chiu continues the trend of big name pros knocked out of the event holding a flush. Paul Darden Doubles Up Paul Darden gets it all-in with AK on a board of AA297. Not sure when the money got in, but Darden is up over 4,000 after this hand. Shawn Sheikhan Doubles up The player in seat 2 raises to 400 from middle position and Shawn Sheikhan calls from the small blind. The flop comes AQ3, seat 2 bets 700 and Sheikhan calls. The river is the 3, and seat 2 bets enough to put Sheikhan all-in. Sheikhan calls all-in for 675 and turns over AA for top set. His opponent shows AK for top pair and ships the pot. Sheikhan doubles up to 3,500 this hand. Daniel Negreanu Moves All-in After min-raising to 300 pre-flop, Daniel Negreanu was re-raised to 750 by an opponent in seat 9. Negreanu called and both players saw a flop of 247. Negreanu checked and his opponent bet 1,000. Negreanu contemplated briefly before moving all in for 1,575 total, 575 more. His opponent went into the tank for minutes before eventually folding pocket tens face up. Negreanu said, “I thought you were calling,” before mucking his cards. Negreanu is up to 4,300 in chips. Dario Minieri Doubles Up From the button, Dario Minieri moved all-in for 2,075 with K9 and was called by the 33 of seat 8. The flop came out 457 and Minieri was in bad shape, as his opponent added a gut-shot straight draw to go along with his pocket pair. The Q hit the turn and the Italian pro was down to his last card. The 9 hit the river, giving the bracelet winner a pair of nines to double up to 4,150. Left In The Deck The players are on a 20 minute break.

Daniel Negreanu Busts TwoOct 23, '08 Shawn Sheikhan opens with a raise and Daniel Negreanu flat calls. Doug Lee then moves all in on the short stack and Sheikhan isolates all in as well. The problem is that Negreanu has pocket aces and makes the call. Lee shows pocket fives, Sheikhan shows pocket eights and the board produces neither. Negreanu makes a full house with an A-3-3 flop and now sits with 450,000 in chips.
