Johnny Chan – 635,000 Notable Eliminations: Eugene Katchalov Big Hands: Amit Makhilja Doubles Up Opponent Action was folded to Amit Makhilja. He bet 5,000 from late position.

The board ran out K944K and Makhilja was down to 145,000 chips. Eugene Katchalov Eliminated Eugene Katchalov was all in for 11,300 with the AJ but was dominated by the AK of his opponent. The board ran out J103K4 and Katchalov was gone. Katchalov had a strong 2010 World Series of Poker. He had four cashes and made four final tables. However, he was unable to capture a bracelet at the pinnacle of the poker year. Hoyt Corkins Doing Well With 25,000 in the middle on a board of A764 Hoyt Corkins checked and his opponent checked behind. The river brought the J and Corkins bet 15,000. The button tanked and made the call. Corkins exposed the 77 for a flopped set. His opponent mucked. Corkins was at 275,000 after the hand. Galfond Gets Curious Picking up the action after the turn, the board read 83210 and seat 5 bet 11,100. Phil Galfond made the call, causing the other two players to fold. The river then brought the A and seat 5 bet 21,000. Galfond took a long session in the tank but decided to look up his opponent. Seat 5 tabled A6 for a rivered pair of aces and Galfond mucked, nodding in disappointment. He was down to 230,000. Theo Tran Takes One Theo Tran raised to 5,000 preflop and the player in seat 6 made the call. The flop came down J64 and seat 6 checked. Tran fired 6,500 and his opponent quickly released. Tran took down the small pot and he was at 106,000. Baldwin Steps Away This Time Eric Baldwin raised to 5,000 preflop and seat 1 made the call. The flop then came 862 and Baldwin led out with 8,500. His opponent then shoved for 75,700 and Baldwin began to think it over. “Kings again?” he asked. “That’s what you had last time.” Baldwin eventually mucked but he was still around 390,000. Mizrachi Forced Out Picking up the action on the turn, the board read 8654. Michael Mizrachi fired 8,500 and his opponent in seat 8 repopped to 32,000 with the ESPN cameras watching. Mizrachi tanked but eventually released his hand and surrendered the pot. He was down to 108,000. Kling Scores The Knockout Robert Mizrachi raised to 5,000 preflop and the player in seat 9 made the call. Lauren Kling did the same from the big blind. The three players then saw a flop of J98 and Kling checked. Mizrachi fired 7,100 and seat 9 moved all in for 49,600. Kling threw in the call and Mizrachi mucked. Kling tabled 107 for a flopped straight and her opponent showed J10 for top pair and an open-ended straight draw to go with a backdoor flush draw. The turn was the 8 and the river was the 9, holding Kling’s hand and she scored the knockout. She was at 235,000. Farha Takes One Without Showdown A player in the hijack raised to 5,500 and Sammy Farha called from the cutoff. The two saw a flop of J63 and the original raiser bet 9,500 and Farha made the call. Both players checked the 10 turn card and they saw the 9 fall on the river. The player in the hijack checked and Sammy Farha bet 12,000. The other player thought for a little while before finally letting his hand go. Chan Continues Dominance On a flop of J23 with already over 30,000 in the middle. After a player checked, Johnny Chan bet 13,000 and was called. The turn was the 7 and the other player checked again. Chan now took a bunch of orange chips and threw them out into the middle, which totaled 30,000. The other player folded and Chan took the pot. “Did you have tens?” asked Chan. “I had a big hand.” He’s up to 635,000 and seems to be running over his table. Kassela’s Queens Go Down In Spades Frank Kassela bet out 10,500 on a flop of 265 and his opponent made the call. The turn was the 9 and Kassela checked and called a bet of 25,000. They went to the river which was the 10 and Kassela checked again. This time his opponent bet 90,000, which was eventually called by Kassela. His opponent turned up A5, giving him the nut flush and Kassela mucked his hand. “I can’t believe I called the river,” said Kassela. “I only had two red queens.” Shannon Shorr Doubles Up On a board of 9638 Shannon Shorr was facing a 50,000-chip bet from his opponent.

One player called and then Chad Wutke reshoved for 120,000 more to isolate Boatman. It worked as the other player mucked and Wutke tabled 99 for an overpair. Boatman tabled 65 for an inside straight draw. The turn and river each added a queen to the board, bricking out for Boatman and he was eliminated early on.

Schoenberg Folds to Aggression The player under-the-gun raised to 7,500 and the player in the cutoff made the call. Erica Schoenberg was in the small blind and decided to make it an additional 16,000. The under-the-gun player called and the cutoff tanked for two minutes before making the fold. The flop came 963 and Schoenberg led out for 26,500. After just a few seconds, her opponent made it 65,500, which essentially put Schoenberg to a decision for her stack. Schoenberg took a few minutes before letting her hand go and she dropped to 70,000 in chips. Greenstein Doubles Barry Greenstein got all-in preflop and was a huge favorite for his tournament life. Greenstein showed QQ and his opponent showed 99. The flop was huge for Greenstein as it came K8Q and Greenstein had his opponent drawing to runners. The turn was the 9, which gave his opponent a lesser set, and one out going to the river. The river was the 4 and Greenstein doubled up to 158,000.

The turn was the 8 and South checked and called a bet of 25,000 from his opponent. The river was the J and both players checked again. South showed pocket nines, but his opponent got there on the river when he showed the J9. South now has 457,000 in chips. Cunningham Gets Rockets to Double Allen Cunningham scored a double up when he got all-in preflop with AA and his opponent held AK. The board ran out 103585 and Cunningham doubled up to 175,000.

Eventually, after double checking his cards, he tossed his hand into the muck. Frazee and Savage went to showdown and Savage didn’t like what he saw. Savage had AQ and was up against Frazee’s KK. The board came out 29562 and Savage was eliminated.

Tran Takes One Down After the board ran out A9786, Theo Tran fired 25,500 into a pot holding about 70,000.

Siegel Eliminated Jordan Siegel moved all in for 268,000 and he was looked up by Jared Ingles in the hijack. Siegel turned over A9 but was trailing Ingles’ QQ. The board ran out K53103 and Siegel was eliminated. David Benyamine Doubles Up Evan Lamprea raised from the cutoff and David Benyamine put in another raise from the button. Lamprea moved enough chips into the middle to put Benyamine all in and he made the call. Benyamine: KK Benyamine was dominating and the flop fell Q94, giving Benyamine four to a flush. It also took away a few of Lamprea’s outs and he was left drawing dead when the 9 came on the turn. The river was the Q and Benyamine doubled to 800,000 while Lamprea slipped to 2.58 million. Levy Drops A Pot Gualter Salles raised to 50,000 preflop and Adam Levy made it 142,000 to go from the small blind. Salles called and the flop fell A53. Salles fired 100,000 and Levy made the call. The turn was the 10 and Salles bet 300,000. Levy released his hand and dropped to 945,000. Johnny Chan Eliminated Johnny Chan and pocket aces did not get along today. He lost a huge pot when he ran his kings into Robert Pisano’s aces during the first level and had a similar situation when he busted out. Chan open-shoved for 550,000 from the cutoff and Jonathan Driscoll snapped him off from the button. The blinds folded and the cards were turned over. Chan: JJ Chan fell victim to the aces again and the board ran out 76357 and Chan was eliminated. Grinder Making The Charge Duy Le raised to 40,000 preflop and Getty Mattingsley popped it to 105,000. Mizrachi made the call from the small blind and Le also tagged along. The flop fell 1084 and everyone checked. The turn was the K and Mattingsley fired 176,000. Both opponents called and the river was the 5. Le bet 500,000 this time and Mattigsley fled. Mizrachi decided to look him up after a session in the tank and Le tabled J9 for a whole lot of nothing. Mizrachi showed 77 for just sevens, but it was good for the pot and he was at 3.9 million.

Theo Tran (5,400 in chips) was next to act and made it 400 to go. The initial raiser folded and the next player to act called, prompting a fold from the third player. The flop came 1042 and Tran’s opponent bet 675. Tran made the call. The 4 hit the turn and the unknown went all in for 900 and Tran made the instant call. Tran tabled the AA while his opponent flipped over the A10. The 9 brick on the river sent the pot to Tran who is now at 7,200. Chad Batista Doubles Up an Opponent We caught up with the action on a flop of 883 with Chad Batista raising a 500 bet from an opponent, making it 1,500 to go. His opponent announced all in and Batista made the call for a little bit more. His opponent tabled pocket tens while Batista exposed the A3 and failed to improve. Batista is at 4,125 after the hand. Brian Rast Loses a Hand We met up with the action on a flop of 877 with Brian Rast on the button versus a player in middle position. Rast’s opponent bet 325 and he called. The 10 fell on the turn and action went check-check. The 4 hit the river and Rast’s opponent bet 1,000 prompting a long decision for Rast. He eventually made the call and his opponent tabled 10-10 for a turned full house. Rast mucked and is now at 3,800. Tony Dunst Looking Good With 9,600 in his stack, Tony Dunst had an opponent in for just over 2,000. Dunst tabled the A10 and was up against the pocket kings of his opponent. Dunst flopped an ace and it held to eliminate a player. He is now at 12,000. Phan Doubles Through Lindgren Erick Lindgren limped in and then was faced with an all-in from Tim Phan for 1,000. Lindgren made the call and tabled KK and Phan showed AK. The flop was good for Phan as it came AQ7. The turn kept Phan in the lead with the 6 and the A came on the river, giving Phan trips and the pot. “I wonder how you beat me online,” said Lindgren as Phan stacked his chips. Left In The Deck: Michael Binger is either very uninterested in the tournament or is already figuring out what he’s going to do when he’s short stacked. He is at the table reading Crisis Economics.
