Level 4 Update: Into the Dinner BreakSep 24, '10 NOTE: The players are now on a 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume at 8:40 p.m. local time (12:40 p.m. PST). Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 162 out of 210 (unofficial) Chip Counts: 1. Sam Trickett — 97,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts: Barry Shulman — 85,000 Average Chip Count: 36,800 Notable Eliminations: Brandon Adams Big Hands: Melanie’s More The “Weisner†With around 14,000 in the pot and a board of 10-9-2-6-6 showing havoc broke loose between Melanie Weisner and David Benyamine. Benyamine had bet 7,500 on the river and Weisner raised to 16,500. She thought Benyamine had called and so flipped over 10-8, but in fact he had shoved and now turning red in frustration she said, “You put your stack in and didn’t say anything!†“I did say something,†said Benyamine. “I said I’m all in.†“I didn’t hear him say that,†Weisner appealed to the tournament director. The TD said the hand was still alive and she could call his all in or fold. She called and Benyamine quickly showed 6-6. “Are you serious?†asked Weisner. Benyamine has 45,000 while Weizner slips to 15,000. Shortly after this however, a set increased her stack to 27,000. Confusion then broke out elsewhere between Noel Furlong and Dan Shak ⎯ another mix up about going all in or just calling. Shak won the fight and took a nice big pot down. It could just be hunger frustration before dinner, but a break is well needed at this stage of the evening. Shulman Knocks One Out The player under the gun +1 bets 750 and another in middle position calls. Dan Fleyshman calls from the button, as does the small blind, and Barry Shulman on the big blind. The flop comes Q 5 4 and it is checked to the player in mid-position who bets 2,200. Fleyshman steps out of the way, as does the small blind, but Shulman calls, and so does under the gun +1. The turn is the 9 and it is again checked to the mid-position player. He bets 5,500 and Shulman makes it 16,000. Under the gun +1 folds and mid-position moves all in for around 14,000. Shulman snap-calls and shows 5-4, while his opponent flips over A Q. The river is a king and the player’s stack increases Shulman’s chip count to 85,000. Gus Hansen who is happily playing Angry Birds on his iPad beside Shulman, turns to his neighbour and says, “You’re a force to be reckoned with.†One For Gus Andy Frankenberger bets 625 from late position and the player to his left, Dan Fleyshman, calls. Shulman calls from the button and Gus Hansen on the small blind makes it 2,275. Frankenberger folds and Fleyshman calls. Shulman asks Hansen how much he has left. It’s about 19,000 and so Shulman folds. The flop comes K 7 6 and it’s between Hansen and Fleyshman. Hansen makes his move all in and Fleyshman insta-folds. Fleyshman has 14,000 while Hansen has just over 24,000 in chips. Player Tags: Gus Hansen, David Benyamine, Barry Shulman, Dan Fleyshman Level 15 Update: The Money Bubble BurstsSep 26, '10 Blinds: 2,000-4,000 with a 500 ante Players Remaining: 36 of 346 Chip Counts: 1. Andrew Pantling — 880,000 Average Chip Count: 288,333 Notable Eliminations: Huck Seed Big Hands: Rudy Blondeau Eliminated on the Bubble Rudy Blondeau raised to 9,500 and Brian Powell reraised, which prompted Blondeau to shove and consequently Powell made the call. Their cards: Blondeau: A Q Board: K J 7 5 4 Blondeau was eliminated on the hand in 37th place, just missing a payday in this prestigious event. Dan Fleyshman Doubles Up Darren Fleyshman raised to 8,000 preflop and Darren Woods reraised to 27,000 right behind him. Fleyshman made the call and the flop fell A 9 3. Fleyshman bet 30,000 and Woods made the call. The turn fell 10 and Fleyshman bet 50,000. Woods made the call and the river fell 5. Fleyshman fired 50,000 again but this time Woods raised all in. Fleyshman made the call and revealed K Q for the flush. Woods fell to 220,000 and Fleyshman doubled up to second chip-position with 600,000. James Mitchell Doubles Up Thomas Bichon raised to 10,000 preflop and Rob Akery made the call. James Mitchell reraised all in for 92,000 and Bichon mucked. Akery made the call and they flipped over their cards: Akery: 8 8 Board: K 7 2 J 7 Mitchell doubled up on the hand to 200,000 and Akery fell to 150,000. Markus Golser Eliminated as Andrew Pantling Increases Chip Lead Markus Golser checked a 8 7 4 2 board and Andrew Pantling bet 60,000. Golser spent some time in the tank and decided to shove for his final 89,000. Pantling made the call and they flipped over their cards: Golser: 9 9 River: 5 Golser was eliminated on the hand and Pantling increased his chip lead to 880,000. Left in the Deck: Pros Just Miss the Cash Flow A number of professionals busted just before the money bubble, including Huck Seed, Almira Scripchenko, Quinn Do, and Markus Golser. 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 19 Update -- Blom and Ivey GoneSep 27, '10 Blinds: 5,000-10,000 with a 1,000 ante Players Remaining: 15 of 346 Chip Counts: 1. Ronald Lee — 1,727,000 Average Chip Count: 692,000 Notable Cashes:
Big Hands: Phil Ivey Eliminated in 19th Place (£26,400) Ivey has finished just 10 places away from this year’s World Series of Poker Europe main event final table. Phil Ivey bet 35,000 and the big blind Ronald Lee thought for a moment. He then raised it up to 101,000 and Fabrizio Baldassari who had limped in, got out of his way. Ivey glared at his opponent long and hard and eventually said he was all in. Lee quickly rechecked his cards and called the all-in bet of 444,000. The two players flipped over their cards: Ivey: A 10 Lee: A K Board: 9 4 3 K 10 To much disappointment, Ivey made the long, hard walk away from the tournament floor, and collected £26,400 for a strong finish. Bojan Gledovic Eliminated in 17th Place (£33,285) Bojan Gledovic moved all in for 470,000 preflop and Dan Fleyshman made the call. Their cards: Gledovic: 4 4 Board: A 8 6 10 7 Fleyshman held 1,490,000 after the hand, which gave him a tie for the chip lead. Gledovic was eliminated in 17th place and he will take home £33,285 in prize money. Viktor Blom Eliminated in 16th Place (£33,285) Viktor Blom raised to 23,000 preflop from early position and Ronald Lee made the call from the cutoff seat. The flop fell 10 10 9 and Blom bet 38,000. Lee made the call and the turn fell 2. Blom bet 65,000 this time and Lee made the call. The river delivered the 6 and Blom checked. Lee bet 101,000 and Blom made the call after a few moments of deliberation. Lee revealed pocket aces and Blom mucked his hand. He was knocked down to 210,000 after the hand. His ultimate hand came when Brian Powell raised to 36,000, and Blom moved all in. Powell made the call and the two turned over their cards: Powell: K Q Board: Q 7 7 K J The alleged high stakes phenomenon now joins Phil Ivey in the list of big names that almost made it to this year’s final table. Player Tags: Phil Ivey, Dan Fleyshman, Ronald Lee, Viktor Blom Level 18 Update -- Early ActionSep 27, '10 Blinds: 4,000-8,000 with a 1,000 ante Players Remaining: 19 of 346 Chip Counts: 1. James Bord — 920,000 Average Chip Count: 546,316 Notable Cashes:
Big Hands: Greg Mueller Eliminated in 22nd Place (£26,400) Greg Mueller moved all in with A Q and was called by Brian Powell who held A K. The board fell 9 6 5 8 6 and Mueller shook his opponents’ hands and made his exit. He leaves with £26,400 for 22nd place. Jani Sointula Eliminated in 21st Place (£26,400) Phil Ivey and Jani Sointula ran into each other for the second and final time today. Ivey made it 20,000 from the button and Sointula moved all in for 197,000. Ivey did not look happy as he contemplated the call. He decided to go with it, moved his chips over the line and flipped over pocket fours. Sointula showed Q J and waited for his fate to be determined. The flop came down J 9 2 and Sointula moved ahead. The turn was the K keeping Sointula safe. Ivey would need one of the two remaining fours to win the pot, and that’s exactly what came down. Ivey now closes in on the 800,000 in chips mark. Thomas Bichon Eliminated in 20th Place (£26,400) De wolfe Hangs On After moving all in and chopping a pot with Bojan Gledovic, Roland de Wolfe survived once more, this time doubling through Marc Inizan. With just under 80,000 in chips, de Wolfe shoved with A 8 and Inizan called with 10-10. De Wolfe binked an ace on the turn and doubled his stack. Fleyshman Doubles Andrew Pantling bet 18,000 from under the gun and Dan Fleyshman moved all in from the cut-off for the best part of 300,000. Pantling went into the tank and when he came out the other side, he opted to call. He flipped over 10 10 and saw he was up against A Q. The board came down J 6 4 A 5 and Fleyshman doubled up to over 600,000. Mattern Miraculously Survives Arnaud Mattern’s pocket queens ran head-first into James Bord’s pocket aces. Viktor Blom triggered a raising war and then stepped out when Arnaud Mattern four-bet. Bord then shoved and Mattern made the call. The hands stood as they were after all was said and done, and pocket rockets were enough to send Bord sky-high into the chip lead, crippling Mattern down to just 12,000. Before the first break of the day however, Mattern managed to double up three times. First with pocket sixes versus Brian Powel’s K-Q, then with A-3 versus Anthony Newman’s A-Q by hitting a 3 on the turn, and finally with pocket eights versus Viktor Blom’s K-9. Mattern made a set on the flop and is now on a little more than 180,000.

Big Hands: Dan Fleyshman Eliminated in Seventh Place (£118,643) Ronald Lee raised it to 85,000 preflop and Dan Fleyshman reraised all in for 250,000. Lee made the call and they flipped over their cards: Lee: K 5 Board: K 7 3 8 A Fleyshman was eliminated in seventh place and he took home £118,643 in prize money while Lee continued to build his chip lead. James Bord Doubles Up and Ignites the Crowd Ronald Lee raised to 85,000 preflop under the gun and Nicolas Levi reraised to 225,000 from the cutoff. James Bord then reraised all in after thinking for quite some time. Lee got out of the way and Levi made the call. Their cards: Levi: A Q Bord won the hand to double up and the cheers from the crowd could be heard throughout the Empire Casino. Nicolas Levi Doubles Up Roland de Wolfe raised to 95,000 preflop and Nicolas Levi reraised all in for 595,000. De Wolfe made the call after spending a moment in the tank and they flipped over their cards: De Wolfe: A 10 Board: 8 6 2 A 5 Levi doubled up on the hand and de Wolfe suffered another setback. Player Tags: Roland de Wolfe, Dan Fleyshman, Nicolas Levi, Ronald Lee, James Bord Level 24 Update: Levi and Steinberg DoubleSep 28, '10 Blinds: 15,000-30,000 with a 4,000 ante. Players Remaining: 7 of 346 Chip Counts: 1: Ronald Lee – 3,136,000 Average Chip Count: 1,482,857 Big Hands: Levi Doubles Through Lee Ronald Lee has been putting the pressure on in the last level. In one explosive hand, Lee raised from UTG and Nicolas Levi moved all in for 399,000 on top. It was folded back to Lee who thought for a moment and then made the call flipping over 5 5. Levy revealed K Q and the crowd around the rail got excited as the flop came down 6 4 3. The turn was the 4 keeping Lee ahead, but the K on the river sent the pot the Frenchman’s way. A little after, Levi bet 75,000, Daniel Steinberg called from the button, and James Bord made the call from the small blind. The flop came down A J 4 and it was checked around. They also checked the Q turn but when the 7 was dealt on the river, Levi bet 110,000. Steinberg made the call and Bord folded. Levi showed K Q to add some more to his increasing stack Steinberg Doubles Through Fleyshman Dan Fleyshman bet 64,000 and big blind Danny Steinberg raised it up to 205,000. Fleyshman then quickly popped it up to 569,000 and Steinberg insta-shoved for 1,117,000. Fleyshman wasn’t too happy about this but elected to make the call. He turned over A Q while Steinberg flipped over K K. The board came out 10 10 10 8 6 and Steinberg doubled up. Just before break time, Levi bet 73,000 and Fleyshman called from the big blind. The flop came down A J 3 and Fleyshman checked. Levi bet a little more this time – 75,000, and Fleyshman made the call. The 5 was dealt on the turn and both players checked. The river was the 2 and Fleyshman bet 375,000. Levi went into the tank and reached for the chips. He looked as if he was calling, and the other players started to complain that he was feigning a call, so Jack Effel stepped in and determined that it was indeed a call. To Fleyshman’s disappointment, Levi then showed A-10 and took down the pot. The young entrepreneur is now the shortest stack with 400,000. The 1,000 chips are being removed during this break as we strive forward to find our 2010 champion. Player Tags: Dan Fleyshman, Nicolas Levi, Ronald Lee, Daniel Steinberg |

Levy revealed K Q and the crowd around the rail got excited as the flop came down 6 4 3. The turn was the 4 keeping Lee ahead, but the K on the river sent the pot the Frenchman’s way. A little after, Levi bet 75,000, Daniel Steinberg called from the button, and James Bord made the call from the small blind. The flop came down A J 4 and it was checked around. They also checked the Q turn but when the 7 was dealt on the river, Levi bet 110,000. Steinberg made the call and Bord folded. Levi showed K Q to add some more to his increasing stack Steinberg Doubles Through Fleyshman Dan Fleyshman bet 64,000 and big blind Danny Steinberg raised it up to 205,000. Fleyshman then quickly popped it up to 569,000 and Steinberg insta-shoved for 1,117,000. Fleyshman wasn’t too happy about this but elected to make the call. He turned over A Q while Steinberg flipped over K K. The board came out 10 10 10 8 6 and Steinberg doubled up. Just before break time, Levi bet 73,000 and Fleyshman called from the big blind. The flop came down A J 3 and Fleyshman checked. Levi bet a little more this time – 75,000, and Fleyshman made the call. The 5 was dealt on the turn and both players checked. The river was the 2 and Fleyshman bet 375,000. Levi went into the tank and reached for the chips. He looked as if he was calling, and the other players started to complain that he was feigning a call, so Jack Effel stepped in and determined that it was indeed a call. To Fleyshman’s disappointment, Levi then showed A-10 and took down the pot. The young entrepreneur is now the shortest stack with 400,000. The 1,000 chips are being removed during this break as we strive forward to find our 2010 champion. Player Tags: Dan Fleyshman, Nicolas Levi, Ronald Lee, Daniel Steinberg |

Level 4 Update: Into the Dinner BreakSep 24, '10 NOTE: The players are now on a 90-minute dinner break. Play will resume at 8:40 p.m. local time (12:40 p.m. PST). Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 162 out of 210 (unofficial) Chip Counts: 1. Sam Trickett — 97,000 Card Player Family Chip Counts: Barry Shulman — 85,000 Average Chip Count: 36,800 Notable Eliminations: Brandon Adams Big Hands: Melanie’s More The “Weisner†With around 14,000 in the pot and a board of 10-9-2-6-6 showing havoc broke loose between Melanie Weisner and David Benyamine. Benyamine had bet 7,500 on the river and Weisner raised to 16,500. She thought Benyamine had called and so flipped over 10-8, but in fact he had shoved and now turning red in frustration she said, “You put your stack in and didn’t say anything!†“I did say something,†said Benyamine. “I said I’m all in.†“I didn’t hear him say that,†Weisner appealed to the tournament director. The TD said the hand was still alive and she could call his all in or fold. She called and Benyamine quickly showed 6-6. “Are you serious?†asked Weisner. Benyamine has 45,000 while Weizner slips to 15,000. Shortly after this however, a set increased her stack to 27,000. Confusion then broke out elsewhere between Noel Furlong and Dan Shak ⎯ another mix up about going all in or just calling. Shak won the fight and took a nice big pot down. It could just be hunger frustration before dinner, but a break is well needed at this stage of the evening. Shulman Knocks One Out The player under the gun +1 bets 750 and another in middle position calls. Dan Fleyshman calls from the button, as does the small blind, and Barry Shulman on the big blind. The flop comes Q 5 4 and it is checked to the player in mid-position who bets 2,200. Fleyshman steps out of the way, as does the small blind, but Shulman calls, and so does under the gun +1. The turn is the 9 and it is again checked to the mid-position player. He bets 5,500 and Shulman makes it 16,000. Under the gun +1 folds and mid-position moves all in for around 14,000. Shulman snap-calls and shows 5-4, while his opponent flips over A Q. The river is a king and the player’s stack increases Shulman’s chip count to 85,000. Gus Hansen who is happily playing Angry Birds on his iPad beside Shulman, turns to his neighbour and says, “You’re a force to be reckoned with.†One For Gus Andy Frankenberger bets 625 from late position and the player to his left, Dan Fleyshman, calls. Shulman calls from the button and Gus Hansen on the small blind makes it 2,275. Frankenberger folds and Fleyshman calls. Shulman asks Hansen how much he has left. It’s about 19,000 and so Shulman folds. The flop comes K 7 6 and it’s between Hansen and Fleyshman. Hansen makes his move all in and Fleyshman insta-folds. Fleyshman has 14,000 while Hansen has just over 24,000 in chips. Player Tags: Gus Hansen, David Benyamine, Barry Shulman, Dan Fleyshman Level 15 Update: The Money Bubble BurstsSep 26, '10 Blinds: 2,000-4,000 with a 500 ante Players Remaining: 36 of 346 Chip Counts: 1. Andrew Pantling — 880,000 Average Chip Count: 288,333 Notable Eliminations: Huck Seed Big Hands: Rudy Blondeau Eliminated on the Bubble Rudy Blondeau raised to 9,500 and Brian Powell reraised, which prompted Blondeau to shove and consequently Powell made the call. Their cards: Blondeau: A Q Board: K J 7 5 4 Blondeau was eliminated on the hand in 37th place, just missing a payday in this prestigious event. Dan Fleyshman Doubles Up Darren Fleyshman raised to 8,000 preflop and Darren Woods reraised to 27,000 right behind him. Fleyshman made the call and the flop fell A 9 3. Fleyshman bet 30,000 and Woods made the call. The turn fell 10 and Fleyshman bet 50,000. Woods made the call and the river fell 5. Fleyshman fired 50,000 again but this time Woods raised all in. Fleyshman made the call and revealed K Q for the flush. Woods fell to 220,000 and Fleyshman doubled up to second chip-position with 600,000. James Mitchell Doubles Up Thomas Bichon raised to 10,000 preflop and Rob Akery made the call. James Mitchell reraised all in for 92,000 and Bichon mucked. Akery made the call and they flipped over their cards: Akery: 8 8 Board: K 7 2 J 7 Mitchell doubled up on the hand to 200,000 and Akery fell to 150,000. Markus Golser Eliminated as Andrew Pantling Increases Chip Lead Markus Golser checked a 8 7 4 2 board and Andrew Pantling bet 60,000. Golser spent some time in the tank and decided to shove for his final 89,000. Pantling made the call and they flipped over their cards: Golser: 9 9 River: 5 Golser was eliminated on the hand and Pantling increased his chip lead to 880,000. Left in the Deck: Pros Just Miss the Cash Flow A number of professionals busted just before the money bubble, including Huck Seed, Almira Scripchenko, Quinn Do, and Markus Golser. 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 19 Update -- Blom and Ivey GoneSep 27, '10 Blinds: 5,000-10,000 with a 1,000 ante Players Remaining: 15 of 346 Chip Counts: 1. Ronald Lee — 1,727,000 Average Chip Count: 692,000 Notable Cashes:
Big Hands: Phil Ivey Eliminated in 19th Place (£26,400) Ivey has finished just 10 places away from this year’s World Series of Poker Europe main event final table. Phil Ivey bet 35,000 and the big blind Ronald Lee thought for a moment. He then raised it up to 101,000 and Fabrizio Baldassari who had limped in, got out of his way. Ivey glared at his opponent long and hard and eventually said he was all in. Lee quickly rechecked his cards and called the all-in bet of 444,000. The two players flipped over their cards: Ivey: A 10 Lee: A K Board: 9 4 3 K 10 To much disappointment, Ivey made the long, hard walk away from the tournament floor, and collected £26,400 for a strong finish. Bojan Gledovic Eliminated in 17th Place (£33,285) Bojan Gledovic moved all in for 470,000 preflop and Dan Fleyshman made the call. Their cards: Gledovic: 4 4 Board: A 8 6 10 7 Fleyshman held 1,490,000 after the hand, which gave him a tie for the chip lead. Gledovic was eliminated in 17th place and he will take home £33,285 in prize money. Viktor Blom Eliminated in 16th Place (£33,285) Viktor Blom raised to 23,000 preflop from early position and Ronald Lee made the call from the cutoff seat. The flop fell 10 10 9 and Blom bet 38,000. Lee made the call and the turn fell 2. Blom bet 65,000 this time and Lee made the call. The river delivered the 6 and Blom checked. Lee bet 101,000 and Blom made the call after a few moments of deliberation. Lee revealed pocket aces and Blom mucked his hand. He was knocked down to 210,000 after the hand. His ultimate hand came when Brian Powell raised to 36,000, and Blom moved all in. Powell made the call and the two turned over their cards: Powell: K Q Board: Q 7 7 K J The alleged high stakes phenomenon now joins Phil Ivey in the list of big names that almost made it to this year’s final table. Player Tags: Phil Ivey, Dan Fleyshman, Ronald Lee, Viktor Blom Level 18 Update -- Early ActionSep 27, '10 Blinds: 4,000-8,000 with a 1,000 ante Players Remaining: 19 of 346 Chip Counts: 1. James Bord — 920,000 Average Chip Count: 546,316 Notable Cashes:
Big Hands: Greg Mueller Eliminated in 22nd Place (£26,400) Greg Mueller moved all in with A Q and was called by Brian Powell who held A K. The board fell 9 6 5 8 6 and Mueller shook his opponents’ hands and made his exit. He leaves with £26,400 for 22nd place. Jani Sointula Eliminated in 21st Place (£26,400) Phil Ivey and Jani Sointula ran into each other for the second and final time today. Ivey made it 20,000 from the button and Sointula moved all in for 197,000. Ivey did not look happy as he contemplated the call. He decided to go with it, moved his chips over the line and flipped over pocket fours. Sointula showed Q J and waited for his fate to be determined. The flop came down J 9 2 and Sointula moved ahead. The turn was the K keeping Sointula safe. Ivey would need one of the two remaining fours to win the pot, and that’s exactly what came down. Ivey now closes in on the 800,000 in chips mark. Thomas Bichon Eliminated in 20th Place (£26,400) De wolfe Hangs On After moving all in and chopping a pot with Bojan Gledovic, Roland de Wolfe survived once more, this time doubling through Marc Inizan. With just under 80,000 in chips, de Wolfe shoved with A 8 and Inizan called with 10-10. De Wolfe binked an ace on the turn and doubled his stack. Fleyshman Doubles Andrew Pantling bet 18,000 from under the gun and Dan Fleyshman moved all in from the cut-off for the best part of 300,000. Pantling went into the tank and when he came out the other side, he opted to call. He flipped over 10 10 and saw he was up against A Q. The board came down J 6 4 A 5 and Fleyshman doubled up to over 600,000. Mattern Miraculously Survives Arnaud Mattern’s pocket queens ran head-first into James Bord’s pocket aces. Viktor Blom triggered a raising war and then stepped out when Arnaud Mattern four-bet. Bord then shoved and Mattern made the call. The hands stood as they were after all was said and done, and pocket rockets were enough to send Bord sky-high into the chip lead, crippling Mattern down to just 12,000. Before the first break of the day however, Mattern managed to double up three times. First with pocket sixes versus Brian Powel’s K-Q, then with A-3 versus Anthony Newman’s A-Q by hitting a 3 on the turn, and finally with pocket eights versus Viktor Blom’s K-9. Mattern made a set on the flop and is now on a little more than 180,000.

Players Remaining: 7 of 346 Chip Counts: 1: Ronald Lee – 3,136,000 Average Chip Count: 1,482,857 Big Hands: Levi Doubles Through Lee Ronald Lee has been putting the pressure on in the last level. In one explosive hand, Lee raised from UTG and Nicolas Levi moved all in for 399,000 on top. It was folded back to Lee who thought for a moment and then made the call flipping over 5 5. Levy revealed K Q and the crowd around the rail got excited as the flop came down 6 4 3. The turn was the 4 keeping Lee ahead, but the K on the river sent the pot the Frenchman’s way. A little after, Levi bet 75,000, Daniel Steinberg called from the button, and James Bord made the call from the small blind. The flop came down A J 4 and it was checked around. They also checked the Q turn but when the 7 was dealt on the river, Levi bet 110,000. Steinberg made the call and Bord folded. Levi showed K Q to add some more to his increasing stack Steinberg Doubles Through Fleyshman Dan Fleyshman bet 64,000 and big blind Danny Steinberg raised it up to 205,000. Fleyshman then quickly popped it up to 569,000 and Steinberg insta-shoved for 1,117,000. Fleyshman wasn’t too happy about this but elected to make the call. He turned over A Q while Steinberg flipped over K K. The board came out 10 10 10 8 6 and Steinberg doubled up. Just before break time, Levi bet 73,000 and Fleyshman called from the big blind. The flop came down A J 3 and Fleyshman checked. Levi bet a little more this time – 75,000, and Fleyshman made the call. The 5 was dealt on the turn and both players checked. The river was the 2 and Fleyshman bet 375,000. Levi went into the tank and reached for the chips. He looked as if he was calling, and the other players started to complain that he was feigning a call, so Jack Effel stepped in and determined that it was indeed a call. To Fleyshman’s disappointment, Levi then showed A-10 and took down the pot. The young entrepreneur is now the shortest stack with 400,000. The 1,000 chips are being removed during this break as we strive forward to find our 2010 champion. Player Tags: Dan Fleyshman, Nicolas Levi, Ronald Lee, Daniel Steinberg |
