Kevin Saul Wins Big Pot Without Showdown
Jul 13, '13
 A player raised to 800 in middle position and both Kevin Saul and Cory Carroll called behind him. The small blind then three bet to 4,200 and all three players called.
The flop came down A 7 4 and everyone checked. The turn was the 8 and the small blind bet 7,600, forcing a fold from the initial raiser. Saul thought it over for about 30 seconds before throwing out a stack of blue chips, raising to 37,600.
Carroll then thought it over for a couple of minutes, gathering his remaining 27,000 together before ultimately deciding to fold. The small blind folded as well and Saul raked in the pot, but not before flashing the 2 to the rest of the table.

Joseph Cheong Sent Packing By Cory Carroll
Jul 13, '13
 We saw Joseph Cheong walking away from the table and ran over to find out the details. According to the table, Cheong six-bet shoved 10-8 suited and ran into Cory Carroll’s A-K.
A king on the flop sealed it for Carroll, boosting his stack to 57,000. Cheong exits, perhaps to come back tomorrow for day 1b.

Cory Carroll Knocked Out, 11 Remain
Jul 16, '13
 Cory Carroll recorded his first live tournament cash since 2009 here at the Venetian, but unfortunately it won’t be more than a min cash.
When we arrived on the scene Carroll was facing a shove from Allyn Jaffrey Shulman. Carroll had 30,000 out in front of him from the button and Martin Hanowski had made the call from his immediate left.
After a while Carroll called risking his stack worth 260,000. Hanowski folded and the hands were turned face up.
Carroll showed 99 against Shulman’s JJ.
The board ran out 104679 and while Carroll hit his set it was Shulman who took down the pot with a flush. Shulman is now up to 610,000 chips and just 11 players remain.

A Long Sweat For Allyn Jaffrey Shulman
Jul 16, '13
 Cory Carroll raised to 6,500 in the cutoff and John Holley immediately three-bet to 18,000 from the button. Action folded Allyn Jaffrey Shulman, who moved all in for 149,200.
Carroll then went into the tank, cutting out a call and realizing that it would be for almost exactly half his stack. He thought long and hard for about 90 seconds, staring down Holley the entire time.
Holley looked completely disinterested in the hand, preferring instead to focus on his food bill. Carroll continued to stare him down before reluctantly folding and Holley instantly flicked his cards to the muck as well.
“I was hoping you both called,” said Shulman, as she raked in the pot to increase her stack to about 180,000 in chips.

Average Stack: 28,000
Eliminations:
Jamie Gold
Mike Matusow
Big Hands and Storylines:
 Gold Goes Home
Jamie Gold was eliminated when he pushed his short stack all-in over two limpers. The first limper called and the second raised all-in for an additional 4,000. The initial raiser was priced into the call and the three turned over:
Gold: 65
Initial Limper: 76
Pre-flop caller: 88
The board was dealt KT4QA and Gold was sent to the rail.
Batista Crippled
An early position raiser made it 1,800 to go, and got two callers, the cutoff and the button. After the small blind folded, Chad “lilholdem954” Batista moved all-in for 30,000 in the big blind. Two folds ensued, but the third player made the call. Batista turned over 22 to the shock of the table, and his opponent revealed QQ. The flop of 753 left Batista needing a deuce or runner-runner straight to win the pot, but the turn and river were the 8 and 9. Batista’s stack was reduced to 11,000.
“Fossilman” Doubles Up
On a flop of J84, Greg Raymer check-raised all-in – about 7,500 chips – and his opponent thought for a brief time and called. Raymer flipped up T9 for an open-ended straight draw and back-door flush draw while his opponent had K4 for a fairly meager bottom pair and back-door flush draw. The 7 on the turn ended the suspense and doubled Raymer up to 18,000.

Big Hands:
Allen Cunningham Builds His Stack
After calling a raise in the big blind from a middle position player, Allen Cunningham checked a JT6 flop. His opponent bet, and he called. The 4 on the turn caused Cunningham to bet, and his opponent elected to fold. The pot boosted Allen’s stack to just under 15,000.
 Hoyt Corkins Remains Aggressive
Hoyt Corkins accumulated a total stack of over 10,000 in chips by utilizing his aggressive style during the limit round. On one hand, Corkins raised pre-flop from early position and was flat called by the opponent on his left. The two players saw a flop of 643. Corkins bet, his opponent raised, Corkins reraised, and his opponent finally called. Hoyt followed through by betting the K on the turn, generating a fold from his opponent.
E-Dog Stays Healthy
Erick Lindgren took down a pot worth over 1,000 in the final minutes of the last no limit round by snapping his opponents’ bluff on a board of KQ932. Lindgren flipped over the AQ and his opponent mucked his AJ face up. Lindgren now has over 10,000 in chips.
Cory Carroll and Andrew Robl
During the second level of limit play, Cory Carroll raised from the cutoff and was re-raised by Andrew Robl on the button. Carroll called, and the dealer laid out a flop of 689. Carroll checked, Robl bet, Carroll check-raised, Robl three-bet, Carroll four-bet to a total of 800, and Robl called. The turn brought the K, Carroll bet 400, Robl raised him yet again, and Carroll called. The 5 appeared on the river, and once again Carroll led out only to be raised by Robl. Carroll called, and Robl flipped over A7. Carroll mucked, and Robl takes down a juicy pot.
The Takeover Begins
Nick “The Takeover” Schulman recently joined table 1, joining Vanessa Russou, David Chu and John Hennigan. It took little time before Schulman and Rousso tangled. On a board of K98, Rousso checked to Schulman, who tossed a purple 500 chip across the line. Rousso folded, leaving her with over 12,500. After that hand, Schulman had just under 10,000.
 Table 24 Remains Tough
Dewey Tomko has taken Daniel Negreanu’s spot next to Bill Edler, Isabelle Mercier, and Doyle Brunson.
The Magician Makes Some Chips Disappear
In the big blind, Antonio Esfandiari called a pre-flop raise from a middle position player. The flop was J108, prompting Esfandiari to bet and be raised all in by the initial aggressor. Esfandiari called with QJ, having his opponent well covered. His opponent flipped up two black kings, and the 7 turn, 5 river failed to improve Esfandiari. He now has just over 5,000 in chips.
Jeff Madsen Gets Caught
Facing a raise to 325 from the button during the no limit round, Jeff Madsen opted to defend his big blind. Both players checked the J67 flop, but Madsen led out with 450 on the 9 turn. His opponent raised an additional 700, and Madsen called. The river brought the 8. Madsen fired 2,300, and his opponent called. Madsen announced that he had missed his draw and turned over the A9. His opponent revealed his 85, and his straight was good for the pot.
