A Look at the NotablesMar 23, '13 The biggest notables left in the tournament are Jerry Yang and Christina Lindley. Yang has doubled his starting stack so far but he is still below an average stack. Lindley is below 10,000, and she will be making a move soon to attempt to double up. Player Tags: Jerry Yang, Christina Lindley Jerry Yang Doubles Up with Four-of-a-KindMar 23, '13 With the board reading J1025 and 5,000 in the pot Jerry Yang raised to 3,150 and the big blind reraised to 7,150. Yang then shoved all in for 17,125 and the big blind called. The two then flipped over their cards. Yang: 22 River: 2 Yang already had the lead with three deuces but the river gave him quads and he won the hand to double up and survive. Jerry Yang – 39,250 (98 bb) Player Tags: Jerry Yang Jerry Yang Can't Get All Of Christina Lindley's ChipsMar 23, '13 Jerry Yang limped under the gun, as did the players under the gun +1 and under the gun +2. The button then raised to 525 and Christina Lindley reraised to 1,325. The big blind folded and Yang reraised to 3,200. Everyone folded back to Lindley, who decided to make the call. The flop came down 6 6 2 and Lindley checked. Yang fired in 4,400 and after about 30 seconds, Lindley said, “I think I’m supposed to stack off here, but I’m going to fold. I was set mining with pocket queens.” Yang didn’t confirm whether her read was good or not, but he did tap the table while telling her he did have a big hand. Yang now has 17,500, while Lindley is down to 10,400.

Soi Nguyen — 100,000 Average Chip Count: 26,149 Notable Eliminations: Justin Smith Big Hands: Soi Nguyen Takes the Chip Lead Soi Nguyen is the only November Nine member that is in action on day 1A of the tournament and he just won a huge hand to take the chip lead. The pot took him up to 100,000 and he held JJ in the hole on a board that held a third jack. His opponent also had a set, although when his two nines were joined by a third on the river it sealed his fate and made Nguyen the chip leader heading into the second break. Earlier during round 2 Nguyen had doubled up to grow his stack to 65,000. He moved all in for his final 8,975 into a pot worth more than 50,000 and one opponent called him down. The board read 104276 at the time. Nguyen turned over 53 and his opponent mucked. David Baker Eliminated After one player raised to 700 preflop from middle position Nguyen made the call and David Baker moved all in from the big blind. The player that opened the pot made the call and Nguyen mucked. The final two players then flipped over their cards: Baker: 88 Board: AJ8QQ His opponent hit running queens to win the hand and Baker was eliminated from the tournament. Jerry Yang Eliminated Jerry Yang moved all in for 6,000 on a flop of J44 and one opponent made the call. Their cards: Yang: AJ Turn and River: 7 and Q Yang was eliminated on the hand. Justin Smith Eliminated Justin Smith moved all in on the turn with Q-4 in the hole on a A-4-4-7 board. He was up against the A-7 of his opponent and the river only made matters worse, bringing another 7 into the mix. Smith was eliminated on the hand. Left in the Deck Schedule Change The tournament director announced during the break that play would continue for six levels on day 1A. Play was originally scheduled for seven levels. Play should end before midnight with the new schedule. Player Tags: David Baker, Jerry Yang, Justin Smith, Soi Nguyen |

Level Four, Hour Two: Giang And Yang EliminatedJul 07, '10 Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 1,980 out of 2,314 Notable Chip Counts: 1. Barny Boatman – 151,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Stephen A. Murphy — 37,800 Notable Eliminations: Chau Giang Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands: Chau Giang Disappears Courtesy Of The Magician Picking up the action after the turn, the board read KQ93 and Chau Giang bet 7,000. Antonio Esfandiari raised the action to 15,000 and Giang moved all in. Esfandiari made the call and the players turned over their cards: Giang: J10 Giang flopped a straight but his flush draw was dead to Esfandiari’s better draw that went along with his two pair. The river then brought the K, giving Esfandiari a full house and Giang was sent packing. Farha Getting Up There The player on the button raised to 1,625 and Sam Farha made the call from the big blind. The flop came down KJ4 and both players checked. The turn was the 5 and Farha fired 2,000. His opponent made the call and the river was the 4. Farha kept his foot on the gas pedal, firing another 7,000 into the pot. The button mucked and Farha took the pot. He was at 70,000. Yang Gets Hammered Down To Size, Then Eliminated The player in seat 2 and Jerry Yang tangled preflop that resulted in seat 2 moving all in for 27,800. Yang made the call and here were their cards: Yang: KK Yang fell victim to a cold deck and the board offered him no help as it ran out 7547J. Yang took a big hit and was down to 8,000 in chips. Yang was eventually cut down to 3,200 in chips and shipped them all in preflop against the player in seat 9. Yang: Q10 The flop was favorable to Yang as it came Q97, giving him top pair. “It’s not over yet,” Yang said before the turn. If it wasn’t over then, it was sure close to being over when the A fell on the turn. The river then brought the 7 and Yang was eliminated. McEvoy’s Aces Cracked Picking up the action on a flop of 952, Tom McEvoy moved all in against his opponent. The player called and ended up putting himself at risk as McEvoy had him covered. McEvoy held pocket aces but they were officially cracked when his opponent turned 52. The board finished out 10 and 4 and McEvoy dropped to 20,000 in chips. Elezra Gets One A player raised to 850 preflop and another player made the call. Eli Elezra was in the big blind and came along as well to see a flop of K52. Elezra checked and the raiser bet 1,375. Elezra was the only caller and the A came on the turn. Elezra checked and his opponent bet 2,200. Elezra made the call againa and the river was the 8. Elezra decided to take the lead, firing 4,000. His opponent gave it up and Elezra took the pot, improving his stack to 32,000. Gored Picking up the action on a flop of 765, Carlos Mortensen fired 1,400. Dan Smith made the call and the other two players in the hand mucked. The turn was the J and Mortensen bet 3,000. Smith made the call and the 9 came on the river. Both players checked and Mortensen tabled KK and Smith mucked. Mortensen took the pot and he was at 25,000. Don’t Stand On The Tracks When The Orient Express Is Coming Through Picking up the action after the board had run out 732€96, Johnny Chan and his opponent got involved in a betting war. Eventually, the opponent tabled 77 for middle set. Unfortunately for him, Chan tabled K8 for a rivered flush. Chan raked in the pot and was up to 165,000. That was good for the overall chip lead on Day 1C. Outrunning Outhred After the board had run out K72910, there was 27,000 in the pot. A player bet 20,000 and Alex Outhred made the call. Outhred tabled pocket queens but they were no good as his opponent showed 1010 for a set on the river. Outhred threw his queens in the muck and he was down to 53,000. Dwan Tripped Up Picking up the action after the flop came down 10103, Tom Dwan led out for 1,425. Lee Markholt made the call and the turn was the 6. Dwan led again with 3,450 and Markholt made the call for the rest of his chips. Markholt: A10 Markholt flopped trips and the river brought no help to Dwan as he dropped to just over 13,000. Markholt doubled to 12,000. Left In The Deck: It’s Not Easy Being Phil Midway through the level, the tournament staff announced through the speakers that “1989 World Chammpion Phil Hellmuth has just been eliminated.” The Amazon Room erupted in cheers and applause after hearing the announcement, not quite the reaction anyone would care for. Hellmuth had been playing on the secondary feature table and made his grand entrance with UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva. He was officially TKO’d. Player Tags: Tom McEvoy, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Hellmuth, Eli Elezra, Johnny Chan, Chau Giang, Sam Farha, Alex Outhred, Tom Dwan, Jerry Yang Level Two Hour Two Update: David Williams On FireJul 07, '10 Blinds: 100-200 Average Chip Counts 30,000 Notable Chip Counts: 1. David Williams – 126,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Steve Murphy — 37,800 Notable Eliminations: Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands: David Williams On A Roll Picking up the action on the turn, the board read 875K. There was 18,000 in the pot and David Williams checked. His opponent did the same and the Q fell on the river. Williams bet 10,000 after his opponent had checked. The call was made and Williams turned over 87 for two pair on the flop and his opponent mucked. Williams took the pot and he kept adding chips to his massive stack of 126,000. He is the first notable to break into six figures and the second level is only halfway through. Oppenheim In The Win Column Picking up the action on the turn, the board read 10956. David Oppenheim bet 950 and his opponent made the call. The river was the J and the other player checked. Oppenheim bet 2,400 and the call was made. Oppenheim then tabled 65 for two pair. His opponent mucked and Oppenheim took in the pot. He was up to 37,000 after the hand. Negreanu Saved On The River Picking up the action on the flop, the board read 765. The big blind led out with 3,450 and Daniel Negreanu made the call. The turn was the 8 and the big blind checked. Negreanu moved all in, having his opponent covered. After some thought, the big blind called for his last 12,700 and turned over KK. Negreanu was in deep trouble as he showed QQ. Negreanu was in danger of being seriously short stacked, but the river was the 4 to put a straight on the board and both players chopped. Negreanu was at 32,000. Negreanu Wins “Crazy Internet” Hand Daniel Negreanu raised from the button to 750 and was called by the player in seat 2. On the flop of 855 seat 2 checked to Negreanu who bet 750. Seat 2 called and when the K fell on the turn he checked again and Negreanu bet 1,800. Seat 2 called and things got very interesting on the river. The J fell and seat 2 checked to Negreanu who bet 2,400 this time. Seat 2 tanked for a while then raised to 5,800. Negreanu took just a moment to reraise to 11,200 and seat 2 tanked once again, asking for a chip count on Negreanu’s remaining stack (around 17,000). Seat 2 counted out a raise that would put Negreanu all in but then returned the chips to his stack. After a few minutes with the ESPN crews anxiously watching, seat 2 folded and tapped the table. Negreanu responded with, “You had the right idea,” and showed 43 for a total bluff. Seat 3 said that he was bluffing the whole time too. After several raises with air, Negreanu pulled in a nice pot and commented how the hand played out like “crazy internet stuff.” Respecting The Champ Facing a raise of 600 from the player to his immediate right, 2007 WSOP main event winner Jerry Yang repopped it to 2,600. His opponent thought it over but decided to give Yang credit and folded. Yang, like the gentleman he is, showed KK. Chop it Up, Elezra After some significant preflop action, Eli Elezra and his opponent checked down a board of K75Q10. After the final check Elezra seemed ready to muck his hand until his opponent showed just A2. When he saw that, Elezra turned over his A4 and they chopped the pot. Sam Farha Drops One Sam Farha raised to 400 from the button and the small blind reraised to 2,000. Farha made the call and the flop came down A64. The small blind bet 1,000 and Farha raised to 3,000. The small blind called and the turn was the 6. Both players checked to see the 9 on the river. They checked again and the small blind tabled KK. Farha mucked and he was down to 14,000. Tom Dwan Back To Basics Tom Dwan raised from under the gun and received to calls. The flop came down 865. Dwan bet 1,125 and only one player called. The turn was the 3 and Dwan bet 2,250. His opponent made the call and the river was the 8. Dwan fired 5,650 and his opponent tagged along again. Dwan then showed J8 for trip-eights and his opponent mucked. Dwan took the pot and he was back over his starting stack with 31,000. Robert Mizrachi Shoots Down Cowboys A player moved all in preflop and Robert Mizrachi made the call. Here were their hands: Mizrachi: AA Mizrachi was on the right side of the cooler as the board offered no help to his opponent. The player was eliminated and Mizrachi shot up to 65,000. Juan Macerias Eliminated On a 953 flop, Juan Macerias checked-raised from the small blind to 2,300. The player in early position who bet 850 called. The 8 fell on the turn and Maceiras checked again. His opponent bet 3,000. Maceiras raised all in for 9,000. His opponent called and exposed the 98 for top two. Maceiras exposed the AK for the nut flush draw. The river bricked with the 5. Maceiras was gone. Player Tags: Robert Mizrachi, Daniel Negreanu, David Oppenheim, Eli Elezra, David Williams, Sam Farha, Tom Dwan, Jerry Yang |

Level 4 Hour 1 Update: Jerry Yang EliminatedJul 03, '09 Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Players Remaining: 921 out of 1116 Chip Counts: 1. Dragan Galic – 110,000 Notable Eliminations: Jerry Yang, Perry Friedman, Darryl Dicken Big Hands: Jerry Yang Eliminated A short stacked Jerry Yang was all in preflop with J7 and was up against his opponent’s AK. Yang caught a good flop when it came 789, but the K on the turn put Yang in a bad spot. Yang’s fate was sealed as the 4 fell on the river. Yang’s quest for a a second main event title will have to be postponed for at least another year. Mark Gregorich Takes A Pot On a board showing 10535, Mark Gregorich and his opponent checked with the pot around 4,000. The river was then the K and the action was checked to Gregorich. He bet 3,500 and his opponent went into the tank. After some thought, he said, “I’ll let you have it,” and mucked his cards. Gregorich raked in the pot and he was at 41,300. By George! The player in seat 6 opened the action for a raise to 1,150 and action folded around to Jason Alexander. He then reraised to 3,200 and seat 6 made the call. The flop then fell J52 and the action was checked to Alexander. He fired 6,000 and seat 6 came over the top, moving all in for 26,500. Alexander took a session in the tank and then pushed in the call. Seat 6 showed 86 for a made flush and Alexander turned over 1010. He needed a lot of help and the J paired the board on the turn. The river then brought the J, giving Alexander a backdoor full house and the massive pot. He was at 84,500 after the hand. Brad Garrett then had a little fun with his friend. “Wow,” he started. “As bad as your game is buddy, that’s incredible.” The table had a laugh and Alexander left his chips strewn about in front of him. “I’ll be back,” he joked, pretending to walk away from the table. “Yeah, to the pharmacy,” Garrett joked again. After all of this, Garrett forgot to input his ante and the dealer asked him to do it. “I’m sorry sweetheart,” he said. “Can I just get a minute to absorb what just happened.” Garrett then placed his ante in and play continued. Duthie Shows Some Heart Picking up the action on the turn, action was checked to John Duthie with the board showing Q7510. He fired a bet of 2,000 and his three opponents quickly mucked. Duthie took in the pot, but was still below his starting stack with just 20,000 in chips. Michael Gracz Doubles His Opponent Michael Gracz called his opponent’s all in bet, totaling around 24,000. Here were their hands. Gracz: AK Board: J536A Gracz hit his ace, but unfortunately for him it was after his opponent flopped a set. Gracz took a hit down to 50,000.

Affleck bet 6500 and was called by the player on the button. The turn was the 4 and Affleck bet 11,200 and was called. The river was the 5 and Affleck bet 24,000 of his 26,000 stack. The player on the button stood up and announced that he had a set and was seriously considering folding it. “This is disgusting,” said the player on the button as he agonized with his decision.

Even though the entire table begged Affleck to show his hand, he did not oblige and tossed his hand into the muck without showinig.

He tanked for quite awhile before finally checking his hand. Seat 1 showed KQ for a pair of kings. Nguyen showed AJ for two pair and took the pot. “You checked the river with two pair?” a player who was observing the hand quipped. “He’s a changed man,” John Duthie joked.

As a result, Gavile won the $100 prize package offered by the official sponsor of the 2009 WSOP, Jack Link’s Beef Jerky. The prize package essentially consists of $100 worth of beef jerky. Play was halted for almost five minutes as the floor awaited on the Jack Link’s Sasquatch to arrive and give Gavile his prize. However, the Sasquatch was nowhere to be found and the floor ruled for play to continue. Gavile would just have to wait for the Sasquatch to make his presence known in order to receive his prize.
