Level Five, Hour One: Dwan EliminatedJul 07, '10 Blinds: 200-400 with a 50 ante Players Remaining: 1,774 out of 2,314 Notable Chip Counts: 1. Barny Boatman – 152,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Stephen A. Murphy — 23,000 Notable Eliminations: Tom Dwan Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands: Lieu And Her Ladies Score The Knockout A player moved all in from under the gun and the action folded around to Liz Lieu in the small blind. She made the call and they turned over their hands: Lieu: QQ Lieu was dominating and the board ran out 85394 and Lieu knocked out her opponent. She was up to 72,000 after the hand. Binger’s Kings Hold A player put in a raise from early position preflop and Nick Binger repopped from the cutoff. The initial raiser put in another raise and Binger moved all in. The call was made and the players turned their cards: Binger: KK Binger was dominating and the board ran out 109210J and Binger doubled up to 33,200. Mortensen Surrenders His Hearts Picking up the action after the board had run out 1087QQ Carlos Mortensen led out with 3,500. His opponent proceeded to raise it up to 15,200. Mortensen then went into a session in the tank and asked his opponent if he would show if Mortensen folded. Mortensen did not get that luxury but he mucked his hand face up. Mortensen threw away A4 for the nut flush. He apparently put his opponent on a full house and was down to 25,000. Williams Drops A Pot David Williams raised to 1,050 from under the gun and he was called by three players. The flop came down AJ4 and Williams bet 3,000. One player called and the A fell on the turn. Both players checked and the 2 came on the river. The opponent bet 3,500 and Williams made the call. The opponent then showed AQ for trips and Williams mucked. He was at 110,000 after the hand. Dwan On The Brink, Then Falls Tom Dwan raised to 1,050 preflop and Lee Markholt made the call, as did the big blind. The flop came down 954 and Dwan fired 2,275. Markholt was the only one to call and the turn was the K. Both players checked and the 7 fell on the river. Dwan took a stab with 4,850 and Markholt made a hesitant call. It turned out to be a good one, however, as Dwan tabled J8 for a whole lot of nothing. Markholt tabled 109 for a pair of nines and took the pot. Dwan was down to just 6,000. Then, on one of the last hands of the night, Dwan found his demise. A player raised to 1,100 and Tom Dwan made the call from the big blind. The flop came down J108. Dwan moved all in for 2,000 and was called. Here were the hands: Dwan: J10 Dwan flopped top two but his opponent had a gutshot straight draw. The turn was the 6, doing no damage. But the river was the 9, making the other player his straight and Dwan was sent to the rail. The Art Of Doubli-Ng Picking up the action after the flop came down 432, Evelyn Ng bet 6,600 and her opponent moved all in. She made the call, putting herself at risk: Ng: 88 Ng was good with her overpair and the board finished off 3 and K. Ng took the pot and doubled up to 53,000.

Liz Lieu Doubles Up Liz Lieu got it in with pocket kings on a Q76 flop and it managed to hold against her opponent’s pocket jacks. The turn was a king and Lieu raked in the pot, bringing her stack to just over 50,000 in chips.

Level 2 Hour 2 Update: Daniel Negreanu EliminatedJul 05, '09 Blinds: 100-200 Chip Counts: 1. Yan Chen – 79,500 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Matt Matros – 25,000 Notable Eliminations: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands: Daniel Negreanu Eliminated Daniel Negreanu called a raise preflop and his opponent bet 4,200 on a flop of 10710. Negreanu moved all in for 6,075 and his opponent made the call. Negreanu tabled 33 and was behind the QQ of his opponent. The turn was the 6 and the river was the J, ending Neagreanu’s World Series for this year. As soon as Negreanu busted, the spectator area seemed to clear out as many fans left disappointed to see “Kid Poker” no longer in the main event. Tarver Takes A Pot After the board ran out A106210, Antonio Tarver and his opponent each checked their option. Tarver then showed down QQ and took down the pot. “I turned a flush draw,” his opponent said. Tarver took the pot but was still relatively short with 12,000. Scotty Knocks One Out Scotty Nguyen raised to 600 from the cutoff and the player on the button immediately moved all in for 4,200 total. The blinds mucked and Nguyen made the call. The button turned over 77 and Nguyen was racing with 109. The flop came J49 and Nguyen took the lead. The turn was the 8, giving the button a straight draw, but also eliminating a seven as one of his outs as it would make Nguyen a straight. The river paired the board with the 8 and Nguyen scored the knockout. He took the pot and was at 60,000 in chips. Miami John Scores A Pot Picking up the action on the turn, the board showed A3910. The small blind was first to act, but did nothing for a while. This gave time for the ESPN cameras to swarm the table and the dealer finally informed the small blind the action was on him. He checked and John Cernuto bet 6,000 into the pot. The small blind mucked and Cernuto took the pot, his stack at 33,000 after the win. Liz Lieu Trips Up Opponent In Battle Of The Blinds Picking up the action after the river, the board read K46A4 and the small blind checked to Liz Lieu. She was in the big blind and she bet out 5,000 into the pot. The small blind called and Lieu tabled 54 for trip fours. The small blind mucked and Lieu took in the pot. She was at 40,000 after the hand. Good Bet From Mercier Takes It Down With 1,500 in the pot preflop, the flop came down 923 and Isabelle Mercier fired 800. The button made the call and the turn brought the K. Mercier led out again, this time with 1,250. “It’s a good bet,” the button said as he released his hand. Mercier took the pot and she was at 53,000. Evelyn Ng Busts Out Evelyn Ng was short stacked and moved all in with A5. She was called by one opponent who tabled pocket jacks. The flop came Q83, giving Ng very little help. The turn was the 8 and Ng could only double up by hitting an ace on the river. The river brought the 9 and Ng was sent to the rail, ending her main event early in day 1c. Filippi Gets No Action For His Aces After a flop of J83, the player in the big blind checked to Amnon Filippi, who fired 800 into the pot. The big blind mucked and the pot was pushed toward Filippi. “Ah, one time,” Filippi said in a frustrated tone. He then tabled AA. Despite getting no action, Filippi was doing well with 44,000 in chips. Riding The Griffin Picking up the action on the river, the board read 85310J. There was 6,000 in the pot and Gavin Griffin checked to the player on the button. He bet 5,000 and Griffin took a few moments to think about what to do. When he finally announced a call, the button said, “I have a five.” Griffin then tabled 99 for a better hand and raked in the pot. He was at 57,000 after taking the pot. Bill Chen Muscled Out Picking up the action on the turn, the board read J7K6. The small blind bet 3,000 into a pot of 6,000. Bill Chen made the call from late position and the river was the 3. The small blind led out again, this time with 9,000. Chen mucked his hand and he was at 31,000. Double Up With A Bullet The player on the button raised to 1,200 preflop and the small blind folded. Maya Gellar was next to act in the big blind and she moved in for her final 16,000. The button made the call and tabled KK. Normally that’s a bad hand to go up against, but not when you are holding AA as Gellar was. The board ran out Q6378 and Gellar’s pair of bullets held up. She doubled up to 35,000 in chips. Hachem Cracks The Cowboys A player raised to 650 preflop and Joe Hachem made the call. The flop came down 974 and the player fired 950. Hachem called again and the turn was the 3. Hachem called another bet by his opponent, this one 2,200. The river was the 4 and action was checked to Hachem. He bet 6,200 and his opponent called. Hachem then tabled 54 for trip fours and his opponent showed KK for the losing hand. Hachem took the pot and he was at 38,000. Fish Hooks Hold for McEvoy Tom McEvoy raised preflop after a limper from the cutoff and was called by the button, the small blind and the limper. The flop was AA3 and all four players checked. The turn was the 7 and it was checked to the player on the button who bet 750 and was called by McEvoy. The river was the 2 and both players checked. McEvoy showed JJ and the player on the button mucked. Player Tags: Scotty Nguyen, Evelyn Ng, Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Griffin, Amnon Filippi, Isabelle Mercier, Liz Lieu, Joe Hachem, Antonio Tarver, Maya Gellar-Antonius Level 1 Hour 2 Update: Lederer Gets GoingJul 05, '09 Blinds: 50-100 Chip Counts: 1. Yan Chen – 85,500 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Matt Matros – 25,000 Notable Eliminations: None Big Hands: Watkinson Has Ducks Shot Down After four players limped in preflop, the flop fell 1092. The action was checked to seat 6 who bet 500. Lee Watkinson made the call and seat 3 called from the button. Antonio Tarver folded from the big blind and the turn was the 8. Everyone checked and the river was the 6. Action was checked to Watkinson who bet 1,500. Seat 3 made the call and seat 6 mucked his hand. Watkinson then tabled 22 for a set of ducks, but seat 3 showed 87 for a rivered straight and took the pot. Watkinson was down to 32,000. Boeree Drops Some Chips After the board ran out A1069K, a player bet 3,100 and Liv Boeree made the call. The opponent then showed down AK for top two pair and Boeree had no choice but to muck her hand. After dropping the pot, Boeree was down to 21,000 in chips. Class Begins A player in late position raised to 300 preflop and action got around to Howard Lederer. He repopped it to 1,000 and the small blind called. The big blind came along as well and the original raiser followed suit, making the pot worth 4,000. The flop then came 984 and the small blind led out with 2,200. The big blind mucked, as did the late position player. Lederer made the call and the turn was the A. The small blind checked and Lederer bet 3,500. The small blind finally gave it up and Lederer took the pot, putting his stack around 40,000. McEvoy Unsuccessful In His Bluff Attempt Tom McEvoy limped in from middle position and then called a raise to 400 from the player directly to his left. They took the flop heads-up of 788. McEvoy checked and called 650 from his opponent. Both players checked when the K fell on the turn and watched the K fall on the river. Now McEvoy leads out for 1,500 and is instantly called by his opponent. McEvoy turns up J10 for a busted straight draw and his opponent showed AQ, good for ace-high and the pot. Liz Lieu’s Two Pair Flushed Away Liz Lieu bet 2,000 on the river into an already bloated pot on a board that read 86JA10. Her opponent then raised her to 6,000 and Lieu went into the tank. While the ESPN cameras rushed over to catch a glimpse of her decision, she eventually decided to toss in enough chips to make the call. Her opponent showed her 97, good for a flush and Lieu just sighed as she flashed A6, good for two pair. Chen Puts in the Third Raise, Wins The Pot Bill Chen raised to 250 preflop and gets two callers. The flop was 104Q. After the first player checked, Chen bet 600 and was met with a raise to 1,500. The third party got out of the way and without any hesitation, Chen pulled his original bet back and tossed out four yellow chips, as he made it 4,000 to go. It seemed as if as soon as Chen’s chips hit the felt, his opponent’s cards hit the muck and Chen raked the pot. You’re So Lucky Baby The player in seat 5 raised to 300 from early position and Scotty Nguyen called from the next seat over. The player in seat 9 called from the cutoff and the three players saw a flop of 653. Action was checked to the cutoff who bet 500. Seat 5 mucked but Nguyen made the call. The turn was the 4 and both players checked. The river brought the A and Nguyen led out for 1,000. The cutoff mucked and Nguyen tabled KJ for a flopped flush. “You know how lucky you are baby?” Nguyen said as he raked in the pot. He was at 46,000. Luske Flushes One Out Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading K863, the player in seat 4 bet 1,600 and Marcel Luske made the call. The river brought the 5 and the action was checked to Luske. He bet 3,000 and seat 4 made the call. Luske then tabled QJ for a heart flush on the river and seat 4 mucked. Luske took in the pot and was at 42,000. Player Tags: Lee Watkinson, Scotty Nguyen, Howard Lederer, Marcel Luske, Liz Lieu, Antonio Tarver Level 7 Hour 2 Update: Kathy Liebert EliminatedJul 08, '09 Blinds: 300-600 with a 75 ante Players Remaining: 2,862 out of 6,494 Chip Counts: 1. Troy Weber – 352,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Jeff Shulman – 75,000 Average Chip Count Day 2b: 62,052 Notable Eliminations: Howard Lederer Big Hands: Kostritsyn’s Big Bluff Failed On the river, there was over 40,000 in the pot already and the board read Q10362 and Alexander Kostritsyn bet 33,000 from early position. His opponent went into the tank and thought for several minutes. He tried to talk to Kostritsyn, but couldn’t get a response. Eventually he called and slammed 910 on the table, for second pair. Kostritsyn mucked his hand and his stack fell to 82,000. Kathy Liebert Eliminated After the button raised and the small blind called, Kathy Liebert squeezed all in from the big blind. The button folded, but the small blind made the call. The small blind showed AJ and Liebert tabled A5. The board came out 838K4, keeping the small blind in the lead and eliminating Liebert from the tournament. Liz Lieu Gets Lucky, Then Unlucky to Chop Liz Lieu was all in preflop for her last 27,000 and was called. Lieu had AJ and was behind the AQ of her opponent. The flop was Q810, giving Lieu a straight draw, and got there on the turn with the K. The J on the river, however, made both players ace-high straights and splitting the pot. Lieu’s opponent had some choice words which are not fit for repeating after the hand was over. Ivey Makes a Big Bet, Gets a Set to Fold On the turn, Phil Ivey called 15,000 with the board reading 4J97. The 8 fell on the river and Ivey’s opponent checked. With four cards to a straight already on the board, Ivey bet 45,000 and sent his opponent into the tank. After thinking for a while, Ivey’s opponent decided to lay down 99 face up on the table. Ivey did not show his hand, but increased his stack to 148,000. Watkinson Can’t Fire the Last Barrel On a flop of 882, Lee Watkinson bet 4,000 and was called. He fired 10,000 on the turn when the Q fell and was called again. The river was the 6 and he gave up and checked. His opponent checked behind and showed 44 and took the pot as Watkinson only had kigh-high with KJ. Brown Gets Called By Queen High Chad Brown has been getting short, but on a flop of 865, Brown check-raised his opponent all in for his last 12,000 in chips. His opponent made the call and tabled A6 and was ahead of the Q10 that his opponent had. The turn was the 4 and the river was the A, giving Brown a much needed double up. He increased his stack to 37,000. Player Tags: Lee Watkinson, Phil Ivey, Liz Lieu |

Hachem called another bet by his opponent, this one 2,200. The river was the 4 and action was checked to Hachem. He bet 6,200 and his opponent called. Hachem then tabled 54 for trip fours and his opponent showed KK for the losing hand. Hachem took the pot and he was at 38,000. Fish Hooks Hold for McEvoy Tom McEvoy raised preflop after a limper from the cutoff and was called by the button, the small blind and the limper. The flop was AA3 and all four players checked. The turn was the 7 and it was checked to the player on the button who bet 750 and was called by McEvoy. The river was the 2 and both players checked. McEvoy showed JJ and the player on the button mucked.

Yan Chen – 85,500 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Matt Matros – 25,000 Notable Eliminations: None Big Hands: Watkinson Has Ducks Shot Down After four players limped in preflop, the flop fell 1092. The action was checked to seat 6 who bet 500. Lee Watkinson made the call and seat 3 called from the button. Antonio Tarver folded from the big blind and the turn was the 8. Everyone checked and the river was the 6. Action was checked to Watkinson who bet 1,500. Seat 3 made the call and seat 6 mucked his hand. Watkinson then tabled 22 for a set of ducks, but seat 3 showed 87 for a rivered straight and took the pot. Watkinson was down to 32,000. Boeree Drops Some Chips After the board ran out A1069K, a player bet 3,100 and Liv Boeree made the call. The opponent then showed down AK for top two pair and Boeree had no choice but to muck her hand. After dropping the pot, Boeree was down to 21,000 in chips. Class Begins A player in late position raised to 300 preflop and action got around to Howard Lederer. He repopped it to 1,000 and the small blind called. The big blind came along as well and the original raiser followed suit, making the pot worth 4,000. The flop then came 984 and the small blind led out with 2,200. The big blind mucked, as did the late position player. Lederer made the call and the turn was the A. The small blind checked and Lederer bet 3,500. The small blind finally gave it up and Lederer took the pot, putting his stack around 40,000. McEvoy Unsuccessful In His Bluff Attempt Tom McEvoy limped in from middle position and then called a raise to 400 from the player directly to his left. They took the flop heads-up of 788. McEvoy checked and called 650 from his opponent. Both players checked when the K fell on the turn and watched the K fall on the river. Now McEvoy leads out for 1,500 and is instantly called by his opponent. McEvoy turns up J10 for a busted straight draw and his opponent showed AQ, good for ace-high and the pot. Liz Lieu’s Two Pair Flushed Away Liz Lieu bet 2,000 on the river into an already bloated pot on a board that read 86JA10. Her opponent then raised her to 6,000 and Lieu went into the tank. While the ESPN cameras rushed over to catch a glimpse of her decision, she eventually decided to toss in enough chips to make the call. Her opponent showed her 97, good for a flush and Lieu just sighed as she flashed A6, good for two pair. Chen Puts in the Third Raise, Wins The Pot Bill Chen raised to 250 preflop and gets two callers. The flop was 104Q. After the first player checked, Chen bet 600 and was met with a raise to 1,500. The third party got out of the way and without any hesitation, Chen pulled his original bet back and tossed out four yellow chips, as he made it 4,000 to go. It seemed as if as soon as Chen’s chips hit the felt, his opponent’s cards hit the muck and Chen raked the pot. You’re So Lucky Baby The player in seat 5 raised to 300 from early position and Scotty Nguyen called from the next seat over. The player in seat 9 called from the cutoff and the three players saw a flop of 653. Action was checked to the cutoff who bet 500. Seat 5 mucked but Nguyen made the call. The turn was the 4 and both players checked. The river brought the A and Nguyen led out for 1,000. The cutoff mucked and Nguyen tabled KJ for a flopped flush. “You know how lucky you are baby?” Nguyen said as he raked in the pot. He was at 46,000. Luske Flushes One Out Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading K863, the player in seat 4 bet 1,600 and Marcel Luske made the call. The river brought the 5 and the action was checked to Luske. He bet 3,000 and seat 4 made the call. Luske then tabled QJ for a heart flush on the river and seat 4 mucked. Luske took in the pot and was at 42,000. Player Tags: Lee Watkinson, Scotty Nguyen, Howard Lederer, Marcel Luske, Liz Lieu, Antonio Tarver Level 7 Hour 2 Update: Kathy Liebert EliminatedJul 08, '09 Blinds: 300-600 with a 75 ante Players Remaining: 2,862 out of 6,494 Chip Counts: 1. Troy Weber – 352,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Jeff Shulman – 75,000 Average Chip Count Day 2b: 62,052 Notable Eliminations: Howard Lederer Big Hands: Kostritsyn’s Big Bluff Failed On the river, there was over 40,000 in the pot already and the board read Q10362 and Alexander Kostritsyn bet 33,000 from early position. His opponent went into the tank and thought for several minutes. He tried to talk to Kostritsyn, but couldn’t get a response. Eventually he called and slammed 910 on the table, for second pair. Kostritsyn mucked his hand and his stack fell to 82,000. Kathy Liebert Eliminated After the button raised and the small blind called, Kathy Liebert squeezed all in from the big blind. The button folded, but the small blind made the call. The small blind showed AJ and Liebert tabled A5. The board came out 838K4, keeping the small blind in the lead and eliminating Liebert from the tournament. Liz Lieu Gets Lucky, Then Unlucky to Chop Liz Lieu was all in preflop for her last 27,000 and was called. Lieu had AJ and was behind the AQ of her opponent. The flop was Q810, giving Lieu a straight draw, and got there on the turn with the K. The J on the river, however, made both players ace-high straights and splitting the pot. Lieu’s opponent had some choice words which are not fit for repeating after the hand was over. Ivey Makes a Big Bet, Gets a Set to Fold On the turn, Phil Ivey called 15,000 with the board reading 4J97. The 8 fell on the river and Ivey’s opponent checked. With four cards to a straight already on the board, Ivey bet 45,000 and sent his opponent into the tank. After thinking for a while, Ivey’s opponent decided to lay down 99 face up on the table. Ivey did not show his hand, but increased his stack to 148,000. Watkinson Can’t Fire the Last Barrel On a flop of 882, Lee Watkinson bet 4,000 and was called. He fired 10,000 on the turn when the Q fell and was called again. The river was the 6 and he gave up and checked. His opponent checked behind and showed 44 and took the pot as Watkinson only had kigh-high with KJ. Brown Gets Called By Queen High Chad Brown has been getting short, but on a flop of 865, Brown check-raised his opponent all in for his last 12,000 in chips. His opponent made the call and tabled A6 and was ahead of the Q10 that his opponent had. The turn was the 4 and the river was the A, giving Brown a much needed double up. He increased his stack to 37,000. Player Tags: Lee Watkinson, Phil Ivey, Liz Lieu |
