Level Six Hour One Update: David Saab Eliminated in Massive PotJul 10, '10 Blinds: 250-500 with a 50 ante Players Remaining: 2,734 out of 7,319 Chip Counts: 1. Charles Alexandre Sylvestre — 260,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Josh Brikis — 97,500 Notable Eliminations: David Saab Big Hands: Quads Slow Down Selbst Seat 4 raised to 1,500 and Vanessa Selbst called from the button. Seat 7 raised to 5,000 and action came back around to seat 4, who called. Selbst thought for a moment and asked seat 4 for a chip count. He counted his stacks out (about 30,000) and Selbst bet enough to put both him and seat 7 all in. Seat 7 insta-called for his last 15,000 and seat 4 looked pained and after a minute he folded QQ face up. Selbst was heads up with seat 7. Their hands: Selbst: 1010 Selbst was well behind as the flop ran JKA. Her opponent flopped a set and Selbst was in need of a queen for a straight. Instead, the K turned and her opponent hit quads. The 9 finished the board and Selbst lost a chunk of her stack. She still had around 60,000 after the hand. Wattel Can’t Top Queens A player opened to 1,100 from middle position and called from the cutoff. Everybody else folded and the flop came 4610 and Wattel called a bet of 2,000 from his opponent. The turn was the 8s and Wattel’s opponent bet again, this time 3,000. Wattel made the call and they saw the 2 fall on the river. Wattel called 5,000 from his opponent and mucked when he was shown QQ. David Baker Eliminated We saw David Baker move all-in on the turn with the board reading 2469 and Steven Curran made the call. Baker had a monster draw as he tabled 85, but Curran showed 9h9d, giving him top set. The river was the A and Baker bricked off and is eliminated. Morrison Getting Short With 4,200 in the middle preflop, Kirk Morrison and his opponent both checked a flop of QJ7. When the 8c fell on the turn, Morrison’s opponent bet out 5,000 and Morrison called. Both players checked when the A fell on the river. Morrison’s opponent was going for a check-raise and turned over the A-K with the K, giving him the nut flush. Pavilion Room Coverage David Saab Eliminated A player limped in the pot and David Saab bet 1,450 from late position. A player in the blinds called and the limper called. The flop came 962 and both players checked to Saab. Saab bet 2,200 and the player in the blind raised to 100,000. The limper folded and and Saab thought about it for less than a minute before announcing all in for a little more than the raise. His opponent insta-called and tabled the A7 and was behind the 98 of Saab. With over 200,000 in the middle, the 6 pealed off the deck. Saab’s opponent hit the nut flush and Saab was drawing dead. The river was a 5 and it was official. Day 2b has a new overall chip leader — Charles Alexandre Sylvestre. He was at over 260,000 after the hand. Humberto Brenes Wins a Hand Humberto Brenes check-called a bet of 1500 on a flop of QJ3. The turn brought the 6 and Humberto checked from the big blind. His opponent on the button bet 2,500 this time and Brenes check-raised to 7,500. Brenes’ opponent went into the tank before finally folding. Humberto was at about 50,000 after the hand. Swick Takes Hit From Schneider Tom Schneider and UFC fighter Mike Swick were heads up on a flop of 67A. Schneider bet 3,000 and Swick raised enough to put Schneider all in for his last 10,000 or so. Tom made the call and saw that he was ahead, but Swick had plenty of outs. Their hands: Swick: AJ Swick was one card away from the flush, but the board bricked with a 9 turn and 8 river. Schneider took the pot to double up to around 20,000. Swick was left with around 15,000. Micon Runs Into Aces Bryan Micon called another player’s 1,500 raise and they saw a flop of 10108. They both checked and the turn brought the 2. The original raiser bet 2,000 and Micon called. The river was the 9 and Micon’s opponent again bet, 6,500 this time. Micon took some time to think it over and eventually made the call. His opponent showed AA and Micon mucked his hand, dropping to 23,325 in chips.

David Baker then raised it to 800 and Bronshtein juggled his chips for a few seconds before throwing them in for the call. Baker then tabled AA64 for a seven-high straight. Bronshtein mucked and Baker took an early pot. Left In The Deck Bellande Looking For Some Action Jean-Robert Bellande is in the tournament, but which table he is assigned to is anyone’s guess. He spent the majority of the first level walking around the tournament area and laying odds to everyone on a last longer bet. He got some takers, while others had other things to say to Bellande. “You’re too loud,” Chau Giang said. “There are no cameras on you and you are making my ears hurt!” “You can’t win a last longer if you’re not in your seat baby,” Scotty Nguyen said. Bellande didn’t seem to hear either of them as he kept looking for takers. Player Tags: Tom Franklin, John D'Agostino, Tom Schneider, Jean-Robert Bellande, Yuval Bronshtein, David Baker |

Mizrachi was around 40,000 after the hand. Alioto Bets Out Smith In Battle Of The Blinds Dario Alioto raised to 1,000 from the small blind and Justin Smith made the call. Alioto then drew one card while Smith elected to take two. Alioto then bet 1,500 and Smith played around with his chips for a bit before mucking his hand. Alioto took the pot and was around 30,000 while Smith was at 23,500. D’Agostino Loses Big Chunk Of His Chips John D’Agostino raised to 1,050 before the draw. The player in seat 4 made the call and everyone else folded. D’Agostino took one card on the draw and his opponent did the same. D’Agostino then led out with 1,850 and seat 4 thought for a bit before raising to 10,000. D’Agostino only had 5,000 left and took a long session in the tank on whether he wanted to put himself at risk. Eventually, he decided to muck and keep his last 5,000 in chips for another hand. Rousso Bets Out Lisandro We picked up this hand on the draw. Jeffrey Lisandro drew one card and Vanessa Rousso elected to stand pat. Rousso then led out with 1,500 and Lisandro mucked his hand rather quickly. Rousso raked in the pot and was at 25,000. Lisandro was at 29,000 after the hand. No Draw Necessary For Schneider Tom Dwan opened the action by raising to 1,050 before the draw. The action folded to Yan Chen who put in a second raise to 3,150. The action was then on Tom Schneider who took a tank session. He then fired out 9,500 in chips. Action folded back around to Dwan who took his own session in the tank before mucking his hand. Chen was next to act and, after a tank session of his own, mucked his hand as well. Schneider took a nice pot before the draw and was around 40,000. Dwan was at 44,000 and Chen was at 24,000.

Both players drew two cards, but before they received their cards Matusow showed Lind his hand. “You don’t have the best of it buddy,” Matusow said to Lind after Lind suggested he was ahead. Matusow said after the hand he showed Lind a 7-4-2. After the players received their cards, Lind led out with 325. Matusow immediately popped it to 2,000. Lind thought for a minute and then released his hand. Matusow then showed down the nuts, 7-5-4-3-2. “I tried to make it look like a bluff,” Matusow said. “Showed him my hand and everything.” Matusow took the pot but had none of his add-on chips left. Should Have Rapped Pat? Catching up with the action on the draw, Yan Chen decided to take one card. Tom Schneider was his opponent and also took one. Chen then smacked the table in frustration after he saw Schneider decide to draw. Schneider then bet 450 into the pot and Chen let his cards fly into the muck, surrendering the pot to Schneider. The Supreme Dario Dario Alioto raised to 350 and the player in seat 3 made the call. Dario Minieri then raised it to 1,925. Alioto tanked before deciding to push all in for 6,350 more. Minieri made the call and drew one card. Alioto stood pat and showed 8-7-5-3-2. Minieri paired up, showing 8-8-5-4-2 and Alioto doubled to 13,300 with his three add ons still intact. Minieri was down to around 4,000 with no add-on chips behind. A few hands later, Minieri raised to 850 and Alioto made it 3,000 to go. Minieri then pushed all in for the rest of his chips and Alioto called. Minieri stood pat after Alioto decided to draw one card. “What do I have to beat?” Alioto asked. Minieri turned over 10-9-5-3-2 while Alioto showed the four cards he kept, 8-7-5-2. Alioto then sweated his card and flipped over the 6 to make a better low and send Minieri to the rail early in the day. Left In The Deck: How Many Will There Be? Registration is set to close at the start of level three. The board reads 82 entrants and has been climbing. The players will have a 20-minute break after level two, during which registration will stay open. Last year’s total number was 96 so the final number could get very close or even surpass last year’s number by the time level three begins.

Samer Rahman – 235,000 CardPlayer Chip Counts: Todd Brunson – 38,000 Notable Eliminations: Raymond Davis Big Hands: The Ladies Hooked By Seidel The player under the gun raised preflop and the action was on Erik Seidel. He moved all in for around 12,000 and he was called by the player under the gun. Seidel: JJ Seidel was dominated, but the flop changed that rather quickly as it fell K6J. Seidel had the set and the lead. The turn was the 2 and the river was the A and Seidel doubled up to 25,000. The Real Amarillo Slim Standing Tall Amarillo Slim Preston was involved in a hand with one opponent and the flop came down KJ10. Both players checked and the turn was the K. Preston raised to almost 10,000 after his opponent had led out for 2,800. The raise was called and the river was 2. Both players checked and Preston showed 1010 for a flopped set of tens. His opponent mucked and Preston was around 80,000. Robin Hood Sent Packing Barry Greenstein moved in for his last 10,000 preflop and Eric Tomberlin made the call. Greenstein showed down JJ, but was dominated by Tomberlin’s KK. The board ran out 106410Q and Greenstein was shown the door. Grant Levy Scores The K.O. Grant Levy called his opponent’s all in bet and turned over AK. His opponent tabled QQ and the race was on. The flop came J74, giving both players a club draw with Levy’s being superior. The turn was the 3 and Levy locked up the hand. The river was the meaningless 3 and Levy was at 70,000. Tom Schneider Folds To Rockets The player in seat 5 raised to 1,200 and Tom Schneider made the call from the button. The big blind also came along and they all saw a flop of 1044. The big blind checked and seat 5 bet 2,500. Schneider called and the big blind mucked. The turn was the Q and seat 5 led out with 6,000. Schneider called again just in time for the ESPN cameras to arrive. The river was the 2 and seat 5 fired 11,000. Schneider thought about it and then mucked his hand. “Come on, show the bluff,” Pamela Brunson said. “The cameras are all here to see it,” Schneider added. Seat 5 obliged to showing his hand, but it was no bluff as he turned over AA. Schneider was at 125,000. Brad Garrett Takes A Pot A player raised to 1,300 and Brad Garrett made the call from middle position. The button also called and the small blind did the same. The four players saw a flop of Q73 and the small blind bet 2,400. The original raiser folded and Garrett made it 5,000 to go. The small blind was the only caller and the turn was the 9. The small blind checked to Garrett who fired out 5,000. The small blind mucked and Garrett was at 44,000. Shaun Deeb In A Gamblin’ Mood Vitaly Lunkin raised to 1,400 preflop and two players called. The action was then on Shaun Deeb on the button and he raised to 6,200. The big blind then moved all in for 25,000. The action folded around to Deeb and he made the call. He tabled KJ, trailing the big blind’s A10. The flop then fell J76 and Deeb was out in front. The turn was the Q giving the big blind a straight draw, but the river was the Q and Deeb got the knockout. He was at 75,000. Player Tags: Erik Seidel, Barry Greenstein, Tom Schneider, Brad Garrett, Shaun Deeb, Grant Levy, Thomas Preston Level 15 Hour 2 Update: Mueller's Third Bracelet Will Have to WaitJul 11, '09 Blinds: 2,000-4,000 with a 500 ante Players Remaining: 659 out of 6,494 Chip Counts: 1. Bertrand Grospellier – 1,600,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Jeff Shulman – 160,000 Average Chip Count: 283,581 Notable Eliminations: Greg Mueller Big Hands: On the turn with the board reading 78810, Greg Mueller bet 18,000 and was called by Nichoel Peppe. They both watched the J fall on the river and now Mueller checked and Peppe took the initiative and bet 25,000. Mueller called and mucked his hand when Peppe showed him J10. That hand left him with 39,000. Shortly after, he was in the big blind and it folded around to Jeff Norman in the small blind, who limped in. Mueller shoved all in and Norman called instantly. Norman tabled AA and Mueller held 66. The board didn’t improve Mueller and his quest for a third bracelet will have to wait until next year. Tom Schneider Doubles Up Tom Schneider found a way to get all of his 136,000 into the middle preflop and was called by Thai Tran. Tran held AQ and was in dire straights against Schneider’s AA. Tran never picked up anything resembling outs as the board ran out 7583J, and Schneider would double up. A few hands later, Tom Schneider raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and the small blind made the call. The flop came 1023 and the action was checked to Schneider and he fired 18,000. The small blind called and the turn was the 4. Action was checked again to Schneider and he bet 40,000. That was enough to chase away the small blind and Schneider took the pot. He was at 400,000. Dan Harrington Makes a Big Raise, Takes the Pot After some heavy preflop action that ended up with about 50,000 in the middle, there was a flop taken heads-up between Dan Harrington and Paren Arzoomanian. The flop was QJ7 and Arzoomanian led out for 20,000. Harrington made a huge raise to 135,000, leaving himself with just 84,000 behind. Arzoomanian tanked for a few moments before letting his hand go and Harrington chipped up to 295,000. J.C. Tran Gets Rolling J.C. Tran doubled up again, this time through Lou Diamond Phillips. Tran moved in preflop with pocket queens and Phillips called with pocket tens. The board held Tran’s ladies and he doubled to 190,000. A few hands later, the player in seat 2 raised to 10,500 preflop and Tran made the call from the small blind. The flop came down 10105 and both players checked. The turn was the 9 and Tran led out with 11,000. Seat 2 made the call and the river was the 8. Both players checked again and Tran showed 33 and it was good for the pot. He was up to 205,000. Brian Lemke Eliminated On a flop of A95, Brian Lemke shoved all in at his opponent. His opponent, who had less chips than Lemke, called and showed A5, good for two pair. Lemke had 23 needed a 4 to fill his gutshot straight. Lemke missed and was down to just 50,000 in chips. Just a few hands later Lemke committed his last 50,000 with AQ and was called by another player who showed KK. Lemke flopped top pair, but never improved as the board ran out Q57102 and another bracelet winner was sent to the rail. Left In The Deck: One of the tournament directors has just gotten on the microphone to announce that the spectators that are on the rail, need to move to another area, as hand-for-hand play is going to start soon. With 670 players remaining, 22 players need to be eliminated and then the money bubble will burst. Player Tags: J.C.

Schneider held AK and Burt showed 97. The board ran out 52226, leaving Burt with just nine-high and giving Schneider the pot. Burt is eliminated from the tournament, while Schneider’s stack is increased to 950,000. Sebok’s Bluff Picked Off Hieu Luu raised to 20,000 preflop and was called by Joe Sebok from the small blind. The flop was 533 and Sebok checked. Luu fired 30,000 which was called by Sebok. The turn was the 8 and both players checked. The 9 fell on the river and Sebok bet 70,000 and was called by Luu. Sebok showed A10 and Luu turned over pocket tens to take the pot. Blair Hinkle Doubles One Opponent Up, Makes A Profit Anyway Oliver Klatt moved all in preflop and the action folded to Isidro Martinez. He moved all in having Klatt covered and the action was on Blair Hinkle. He then came over the top for all of his chips, having both men covered. Everyone else mucked and the hands were turned up. Martinez: QQ Hinkle was in great position to score a double knockout, but the flop came down J94, giving Klatt a set of nines. The turn was the A and the river was the J, scoring a triple up for Klatt. However, he only had 125,000 total, leaving a small dent in Hinkle’s stack. Hinkle won the side pot against Martinez and after all the chips were counted, Hinkle made a profit out of the deal, his chips around 2 million. Benyamine Takes A Big Pot Picking up the action on the turn, the board read 9336 and Sarne Lightman fired 150,000 into a pot of over 225,000. David Benyamine took a few seconds to count out his stack, then moved all in for 135,000 more. Lightman then took a tank session of his own and decided to muck his hand, surrendering the large pot to Benyamine. Benyamine was around 680,000. Kenny Tran Gets Bluffed Kenny Tran raised to 23,000 from early position and was three-bet by a player in late position to 100,000. Tran went into the tank for several minutes before making the call. The flop came J49 and Tran checked to his opponent. His opponent didn’t make any movements and was just staring around the room, until the dealer informed him that Tran had checked and the player decided to go all in. Tran fairly quickly folded and folded pocket queens face up. To his dismay, his opponent turned over A10, for just ace-high. Phillips Knocks Out Mighty Thor Dennis Phillips and Thor Hansen got all of their chips into the middle preflop and Phillips had the best of it when he turned over AK against Hansen’s KQ. Hansen said he was good with the ladies, but his mojo was a little low today as the board ran out 75675, keeping Phillips’ big slick in the lead and eliminating a tough opponent from the tournament.

Tom Schneider Eliminated In 52nd Place($138,568) Tom Schneider moved all in for 1.2 million and Marc Etienne McLaughlin made the call from the small blind. Schneider turned over A7 and was trailing McLaughlin’s 99. The flop came down K65 and Schneider had one foot out the door. The turn was the 7, giving Schneider some life, but the river was the K and Schneider’s run at the 2009 main event was over. McLoughlin Summons Doyle For a Double Up Marc McLoughlin shoved all in for his last 1,150,000 and was called by Hieu Luu. They hyper-aggressive Luu woke up with a real hand and showed AK and was ahead of McLoughlin’s lowly 102. The flop put McLoughlin in the lead as it fell 24Q. The turn was the 8 and Luu failed to catch a pair on the river when he saw the dealer turned over the 7. McLoughlin doubles up and Luu falls to 1,150,000 in chips.

Ben Lamb was in the big blind and made the call. Here were their hands. Sebok: A9 Sebok was dominated and needed a lot of help. The flop came down J43 and Sebok was down to his last two streets. The turn was the 6 and Sebok could only double up with a nine. The river brought the Q instead, pairing Lamb and Sebok was eliminated from the main event. Billy Kopp Knocks Out John Martin Billy Kopp raised to 125,000 from under the gun and John Martin made the call from the hijack after Luis Nargentino called from the hijack. The flop came down A96 and Martin bet 250,000. Kopp made the call and Nargentino mucked. The turn was the K and Martin bet 500,000. Kopp sprung his trap and raised to over 2 million. Martin then shoved for the rest of his stack and Kopp made the call. Kopp tabled 66 for a flopped set while Martin tabled 87 for an open-ended straight draw along with a diamond draw. The river was the J and Martin missed everything. He was eliminated and Kopp was over 11 million after the hand.

Ivey then showed AQ and his ace kicker played. He took the pot and was over 7 million. Schneider Doubles Through Hieu Luu Hieu Luu raised from the cutoff position and Tom Schneider called from the big blind. The flop came A62 and Schnedier checked and called Luu’s 225,000 bet. On the 8 turn, Schneider led out for 400,000 and was raised all in by Luu. Schneider called and we got the rest of the analysis from Schneider’s wife who yelled “What do you have baby?” Schneider replied that he had two pair and that he was up against a flush draw. “What do we need?” yelled Mrs. Schneider. To that question, Schneider replied that she should root for the king of spades. Ironically enough, that was what fell on the river and Schneider doubles up to 3,800,000 and Luu drops to 2,400,000. Maimone’s Two Pair Is No Good Joseph Cada raised to 175,000 preflop and was called by Dennis Phillips and Nick Maimone called.
