Paul Darden Poker Tournament Updates

Level 4 Update: Another Pro Eliminated With a Flush

May 31, '09

Blinds: 75-150

Players Remaining: 2,000 out of 3,021

Notable Eliminations:

David Chiu
David Daneshgar
Isaac Baron
T.J. Cloutier
Joe Awada

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.

Barry Shulman

Big Hands:

Barry Shulman Eliminated by Jean-Robert Bellande

Jean-Robert Bellande raised to 375 from middle position and Barry Shulman made the call from the small blind. The flop came J75, and Shulman led out with a pot-sized bet. Bellande asked Shulman how many chips he had remaining before calling. Shulman checked the 4h on the turn, and Bellande bet enough to put Shulman all in. Barry quickly called and turned over Q1098. “I just have a set,” Bellande said as he turned over his A553. The river failed to complete a straight for Shulman, and he hit the rail.

Hachem Makes Top Pair, Top Kicker Fold

World Series of Poker 2005 main event winner Joseph Hachem raised from middle position and was quickly called by Full Tilt pro Gavin Smith, who was next to act. The action folded the player in the small blind, and he made the call. The three players saw a flop of K103. The small blind checked, and Hachem made a pot-sized bet of 1,150. Smith threw away his hand, and the small blind labored before ultimately folding and showing the AK. Hachem and Gavin continued to mix it up during most of the level.

Paul Darden Chops One Up With His Fellow Blind

After seeing the player in the cut-off and the player on the button limp into the pot, Paul Darden completed from the small blind and the big blind checked his option. The flop came AK7, and Darden checked. The big blind led out with a bet of 300, causing both the limpers to fold. Darden made the call and checked again to the big blind when the 3 fell on the turn. The big blind checked behind, and the J fell on the river. Darden made a pot-sized bet of 1,000, and his opponent called. Darden turned over 8422 for the nut low and one pair of deuces for high. His opponent showed 10c7s7c6c for a set of sevens, no low. The pot was split between the two.

Hands:

Matthews holds on to last few chips

After check-calling on the flop, Davidson Matthews again checks on the turn with the board 7ATK. His opponent bets 800, and Matthews counts out his chips and sees he has 1,300 left. Eventually, he opts to fold, and put his tourney life on the line in a different situation.

Darden goes out in stud 8

A player raises Paul Darden's bring in and Darden opts to go all in and take a chance. However, he is up against a pair of aces. By seventh street he shows QT6793T, which loses to his opponents two pair, aces and twos.

Quad aces on river pushes pot Griffin's way

After check calling all the way, Gavin Griffin quickly bets on the river with the board showing A-A-T-Q-A. His opponent is clearly unhappy with the river, but makes the call. Griffin flips over A-4-4-2 for four aces, and his opponent shows K-J for a straight before tossing away his cards. After the hand Griffin is up to 16,000 chips.

144 Players Remain

Jun 24, '07

There are less than 144 players remaining with one more level of play scheduled for day one. Level seven has come to an end and play will continue through level eight until 3 a.m.

With the blinds at $300-$600 the players in this limit level appeared to be ready to gamble. Berry Johnston bet $1,200 and Shannon Shorr three bet. The player in seat 9 pushed all in for less than $1,500 and Johnston made the call. The flop came 7 5 4. Johnston checked and Shorr bet out $600. Johnston called and the turn was the A. Johnston checked again and Shorr two bet. Johnston folded and Shorr and the player in the nine seat were heads up. Shorr showed Q Q as the dealer put out the 6 on the river and the player in seat nine mucked his hand.

Pual "The Truth" Darden two bet preflop and was called by Michael Craig. The flop came 9 5 3 and Craig checked. Darden bet out $600 and Craig raised to $1,200. Darden called and the turn was the Q. Craig two bet the turn and Darden called. The river was the 4 and Craig checked to Darden. Darden bet out $1,200 and Craig instantly called. Craig showed Q 10 for top pair and Darden exposed A 2 for the rivered straight.

In what turned out to be a massive pot, Paul Sexton found himself all in against the players in seats eight and nine at his table. Sexton had the player in seat nine covered but the player in seat eight had more than $20,000 behind him after calling Sexton down. The player in seat eight had 8-8, the player in seat nine showed 6-6 and Sexton had the best hand preflop with 10-10. The board came 9 9 2 3 A and Sexton tripled up.

At a nearby table, Q Knopow has made some profitable moves and now sits with $30,000 in chips.

Below 100

Jun 25, '07

After just one level of play in day two, there are fewer than 93 players remaining. The mixed limit tournament area is not gathering a lot of attention from the spectators in the Amazon Room today, two other events are running simultaneously and a fourth is on its way. The $50,000 World Championship H.O.R.S.E event is drawing almost every spectator in the house and the field literally reads like a who's who list of poker professionals. Dwarfing both events in sheer size is the largest Senior's Event in history and a Pot Limit Omaha eight-or-better tournament is set to start at five.

Still in the field after one level of play are Pual Sexton, Phil Gordon, Scott Bohlman, Shannon Shorr, J.C. Tran, Pual "The Truth" Darden and "Miami" John Cernuto who started the day in the Senior's event. Sexton was able to triple up in the limit portion of this level with limits of $800-$1,600. Sexton was all in against the players in seats one and seven. The players in seats one and seven check all the way down and at the end the board showed 4 3 2 8 2. The player in seat seven showed A J for ace high and Sexton was holding A Q for ace high with a higher kicker. Sexton tripled up to over $5,000 after the hand.

The game switched to no limit with blinds of $300-$600 halfway through the level and Jeff Lisandro was ready to gamble. The player in seat one raised all in from the cut off and Lisandro was more than happy to call from the big blind. The player in seat one showed K 4 and Lisandro called with K 7. "Let's dance!" said Lisandro after he tabled his cards. The board came Q 6 4 J 8 and the player in seat one paired his four. Lisandro lost around $7,000 on the hand but still sits with a large stack.

Several hands later at the same table "Miami" John Cernuto pushed all in and was called by the player in seat one. Seat one showed A-K and Cernuto pushed with A-9. The flop came K-Q-8 and the player in seat one finally thought his losing days were over. The turn and the river were running nines for Cernuto  and he was able to double up to $9,000. The player in seat one was so upset after the hand the he got out of his chair and chastised Cernuto for being so lucky.

The Next Big Thing

Jun 21, '07

Its amazing looking into a sea of poker players, only recognizing a few sharks as you go along.  It makes you wonder if the next "big thing" in poker is sitting in the field today, just waiting to be discovered.

The pros are sparsely located throughout the many tournament areas today, and many of them are still waiting to be seated as alternates.  The ones that do see each other always have something nice to say.  Gavin Smith sat down at his table in the pavillion, looked one table over to Paul Darden, and needled him for his slim appearance, first noting that he was "wasting away, and then asking, "Do you have to run around in the shower to get wet"  The first question Smith asks his new tablemates was "Who's stealing?"  It shows that a benefit to showing up a tad late to your table is to be able to tell based on who holds the most low denomination chips, who is most aggressive preflop.  Later in the tournament, the aggressive tournament players stock pile the low denomination 'ante' chips by constantly stealing the blinds.

Ed Moncada stopped by Bryan Micon and Phil Laak's table briefly to note that they were the only people he recognized within 30 yards of his table.  Laak also got a visit from Jennifer Tilly, who had Kings cracked and was eliminated soon after in the first level.

End of Day 1

Jun 19, '07

Day 1 of the $2,000 Seven Card Stud event has come to an end and there are currently 88 players remaining with an average chip stack of $9,681. The tournament staff ended the day at 3 a.m. with exactly thirty minutes remaining in Level 8.

Current chip leader, Marcel Luske closed the night out strong after taking down a good pot right before play ended. Marcel Luske had taken the betting lead with a board of 6 A 9 5 against his opponent’s board of 10 J 8 7. The player in seat 2 had called Luske down all the way to the river, but a tricky bet in the dark from Luske would ultimately cause Seat-2 to drop out on the last bet. None the less, Luske rakes a healthy pot and solidifies a massive chip advantage for himself going into Day 2.

Mel Judah also goes on a late-night tare, guaranteeing himself a seat in Day 2. Judah takes down two big pots in a row, stealing a few chips from Howard Lederer and sending an opponent to the rail. Judah gets Lederer to call him down to the river on a board of A 2 6 J. Lederer mucks his cards when Judah turns over A 2 5 for aces up. The very next hand and he eliminates the player in seat 8 after he makes a caller out of him on a Q K J 3 board. Judah then turns over A A J for aces up again, eliminating his opponent and securing a nice stack for tomorrow’s restart.

Despite losing a last minute pot to Mel Judah, Howard Lederer had climbed out of the red and back into the black by the end of the night. A previously short-stacked Howard Lederer now ends the night not too far behind Marcel Luske, maintaining a comfortable position on the leader’s board, followed closely by Cyndy Violette, Paul Darden and Daniel Negreanu.

Jeffrey Lisandro also makes a strong finish by taking a good sized pot off of Chris Reslock. Lisandro takes the betting lead the entire time with a board of 4 10 8 8 while Reslock calls him all the way down showing a board of 10 9 Q 7. Reslock calls one more bet on the river and Lisandro turns over 10 10 8 for an up and down full house of tens over eights. Reslock throws his hand into the muck while Lisandro increases his chip count right before the night comes to an end.

Play will resume tomorrow at 3 p.m., so be sure to check back with CardPlayer.com for more updates and your favorite Pro Blogs.

Level 6 Update

Jun 19, '07

Level 6 has just come to a close and the remaining 144 players are on a fifteen minute break. Marcel Luske continues his dominance at the table and has now pulled out in front as the apparent chip leader.

“Fossilman” Greg Raymer takes a nice pot right before the break with a board of A 5 5 K. Fossilman had been  betting the whole time and made a caller out of the player in seat 3 right down to the river. Seat-3 shows a board of Q 2 K 8 and calls one last bet on the river as Raymer turns over J J Q for jacks up. Seat-3 shows A Q 7 for a pair of queens as Raymer rakes the pot.

Paul Darden gets stuck in a good pot with a board of K 2 6 5 against an opponent’s board of 10 6 J A. Darden had been calling all the way down and checks the river to the player in seat 8 who also checks. Seat-8 turns over 6 6 10 for two pair and Darden mucks his hand.

Mel Judah wins a nice pot and rakes some well-needed chips. The player in seat 6 was betting the whole time with a board of K 5 5 10, when Mel Judah raised him on sixth street. Seat-6 makes the call and lays off the betting when Judah pairs nines on a board of 2 8 9 9. Judah bets the river and Seat-6 calls. Judah shows 2 2 3 for a full house and the player in seat 6 throws his hand into the muck.

When players return from break they will be entering Level 7 with betting limits of $300-$600 with a $75 ante. Be sure to check back with CardPlayer.com for more updates and your favorite Pro Blogs.

Level 5 Update

Jun 17, '07

Players have just entered Level 6 where the limits have increased to $150-$300 with a $25 ante and a $50 bring-in. Two hundred and sixty-four players now remain in today’s Razz event, and the average chip stack is $3,875.

Level 5 brought us some notable eliminations such as Dewey Tomko and Paul Darden. Dewey Tomko was eliminated when his 8-7-6-5-A ran into Chris Amaral’s 6-4-3-2-A. Paul Darden was eliminated a few hands later when he was all-in on fourth street with a board of J 8. The player in seat 6 makes a 6 4 3 2 A low on the river and eliminates Darden just before the level change.

It wasn’t all bad news for the pros as Annie Duke and manages to grab a few nice pots in level 5. With a board of 8 Q A 3, Duke had been betting the whole time while the player on the button had been calling her down. The button was showing a board of 7 9 4 J on the river when Duke makes a final bet and after a few minutes of deliberation the button decides to muck his cards.
