Bach scooped that pot and moved up to about 3.7 million while Binger dropped down to 1.6 million. Binger quickly bounced back after reraising Bach off of a 900,000 pot on the turn when the board paired jacks. Binger took a slight lead that hand with about 2.7 million to Bach’s 2.6 million, but his reign on top was short lived as Bach quickly regained the lead after scooping a 1.75 million pot with a full house over Binger’s full house. Bach flopped the top set of tens and Binger turned middle set of nines. The board paired deuces on the river and Bach raked the pot, moving up to 3.5 million in chips while Binger fell back down to 1.8 million. Binger answered back yet again and managed to chip his way to a small lead about halfway through the level before giving it back to Bach by level’s end. Bach continued to chip away at his opponent, leaving him with just over 1 million in chips heading into Level 28. Be sure to check back hourly for level-by-level updates of this final table.

Level Five, Hour One: Dwan EliminatedJul 07, '10 Blinds: 200-400 with a 50 ante Players Remaining: 1,774 out of 2,314 Notable Chip Counts: 1. Barny Boatman – 152,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Stephen A. Murphy — 23,000 Notable Eliminations: Tom Dwan Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands: Lieu And Her Ladies Score The Knockout A player moved all in from under the gun and the action folded around to Liz Lieu in the small blind. She made the call and they turned over their hands: Lieu: QQ Lieu was dominating and the board ran out 85394 and Lieu knocked out her opponent. She was up to 72,000 after the hand. Binger’s Kings Hold A player put in a raise from early position preflop and Nick Binger repopped from the cutoff. The initial raiser put in another raise and Binger moved all in. The call was made and the players turned their cards: Binger: KK Binger was dominating and the board ran out 109210J and Binger doubled up to 33,200. Mortensen Surrenders His Hearts Picking up the action after the board had run out 1087QQ Carlos Mortensen led out with 3,500. His opponent proceeded to raise it up to 15,200. Mortensen then went into a session in the tank and asked his opponent if he would show if Mortensen folded. Mortensen did not get that luxury but he mucked his hand face up. Mortensen threw away A4 for the nut flush. He apparently put his opponent on a full house and was down to 25,000. Williams Drops A Pot David Williams raised to 1,050 from under the gun and he was called by three players. The flop came down AJ4 and Williams bet 3,000. One player called and the A fell on the turn. Both players checked and the 2 came on the river. The opponent bet 3,500 and Williams made the call. The opponent then showed AQ for trips and Williams mucked. He was at 110,000 after the hand. Dwan On The Brink, Then Falls Tom Dwan raised to 1,050 preflop and Lee Markholt made the call, as did the big blind. The flop came down 954 and Dwan fired 2,275. Markholt was the only one to call and the turn was the K. Both players checked and the 7 fell on the river. Dwan took a stab with 4,850 and Markholt made a hesitant call. It turned out to be a good one, however, as Dwan tabled J8 for a whole lot of nothing. Markholt tabled 109 for a pair of nines and took the pot. Dwan was down to just 6,000. Then, on one of the last hands of the night, Dwan found his demise. A player raised to 1,100 and Tom Dwan made the call from the big blind. The flop came down J108. Dwan moved all in for 2,000 and was called. Here were the hands: Dwan: J10 Dwan flopped top two but his opponent had a gutshot straight draw. The turn was the 6, doing no damage. But the river was the 9, making the other player his straight and Dwan was sent to the rail. The Art Of Doubli-Ng Picking up the action after the flop came down 432, Evelyn Ng bet 6,600 and her opponent moved all in. She made the call, putting herself at risk: Ng: 88 Ng was good with her overpair and the board finished off 3 and K. Ng took the pot and doubled up to 53,000.

Level Six: Big Names Starting To Get ShortJun 10, '10 Blinds: 200-400 with a 100 ante Players Remaining: 92 out of 101 Average Chip Count: 32,935 Tournament Leaderboard: 1. Stephen Chidwick – 74,000 Notable Eliminations: Tony G Players Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands: Lisandro Getting Low We picked up the action on this hand after the draw. The player in seat 4 bet 5,000 and Jeffrey Lisandro made the call. Seat 4 showed 8-7-6-5-3 and Lisandro mucked. After the hand, Lisandro was around 10,000 in chips. Kabbaj Bets Out Mortensen John Kabbaj raised to 1,300 before the draw and the action folded around to Carlos Mortensen in the big blind. Mortensen made the call and elected to draw one card on. Kabbaj stood pat and Mortensen checked. Kabbaj bet 2,000 and Mortensen let his hand fly into the muck. Kabbaj took the pot and was around 33,000 while Mortensen was just over 14,000 in chips. Wrong Wheel Doyle Brunson started the action by raising to 1,300. The player in seat 3 made the call, then Robert Mizrachi and Nick Binger tagged along for the ride. Binger and Mizrachi each drew two cards while Brunson and seat 3 took one card. Everyone checked and Mizrachi turned over A-2-3-4-5. “Wrong wheel,” he said as he turned his hand. Binger showed A-7-6-5-4 for an ace-low as well. Since aces play high in lowball, Mizrachi’s hand was not considered a straight and he took the pot with his A-5 low. He was at 29,000 while Binger was down to 11,300. Brunson was at 38,000. Chen Pays Off Dwan We picked up the action after the draw. Tom Dwan bet 1,650 into the pot and Yan Chen made the call. Dwan turned over 8-7-6-5-3 and Chen mucked his hand. Dwan raked in the pot and he was at 40,000 in chips. Chen was around 30,000.

Action then folded around to David Williams who popped it to 2,000. Binger then moved in for 4,100 more. Brunson had enough and mucked but Williams made the call. Williams then stood pat and Binger drew one card. Williams turned over J-10-7-6-4 and laughed when Binger gasped in frustration. “I threw away a jack,” Binger said in frustration. He showed 9-6-5-3 but mucked the card he was dealt and had to use one the first of his add-ons. Williams was up to 24,000 with one add-on behind. Smith Gets A Boost We picked up the action on this hand after the draw. Justin Smith bet 800 and he was called by his opponent in seat 3. “Show me you 10,” seat 3 said. Smith showed an 8-7-6-4-2, which was good as his opponent tabled 9-8-6-3-2. Smith won a crucial pot as he was at 23,000 with no add-on chips behind. Juanda Takes It Down Picking up the action on the draw, the player in seat 2 took two cards, John Juanda took one card and Max Pescatori took two cards. All three players then checked and Juanda turned over Q-9-7-6-2. “Ship it over!” Juanda comically yelled. “Yes!” Both of his opponents mucked and Juanda threw out a playful fist pump and raked in the pot. He was at 18,000 with two add-ons while Pescatori was at 5,000 with two add-ons. Baxter Nabs A Pot Picking up the action on the draw, the player in seat 4 took two cards and Billy Baxter did the same. J.C. Tran stood pat and then Baxter led out for 1,500. Both of his opponents mucked relatively quickly and Baxter was at 16,000 with two add-ons remaining. Tran was at 11,000 with all three add-ons behind. Left In The Deck: Off To Play Some Limit Daniel Negreanu asked the floor earlier what would happen with his add-ons if he was blinded out and not present. The floor answered that his add-ons would be used one at a time and not all at once. Negreanu’s presence in the tournament has disappeared as he has gone off to play in event no. 18 ($2,000 limit hold’em). He had a relatively short stack and used this time to try and build it up as the field will go on a 60-minute dinner break after this level, giving Negreanu two hours to build up a decent stack in that event or bust.

Sebok Doubles Up With Big Slick, Proceeds to Bust Opponent Adam Lattimer raised to 26,000 and was reraised to 86,000 by Hieu Luu. Action was folded around to Joe Sebok who moved all in for 259,000. Lattimer eventually folded and Luu went into the tank. Luu eventually made the call, figuring he was priced in and showed a mere Q7 and was up against Sebok’s AK. The flop was 456, followed by the 7 on the turn, giving Luu a pair of sevens. Sebok was getting up out of his chair and putting on his jacket when the K hit the river and Sebok stayed alive. Moments later, Sebok called his opponent’s all in bet and tabled JJ. His opponent showed down 1010 and the board ran out QQ67Q, giving Sebok a better full house and the pot. He was at around 500,000. J.C. Tran Takes A Pot J.C. Tran raised to 24,000 preflop and was called by the big blind. The flop came down 1085 and action was checked to Tran. He bet out 30,000 and the big blind called. The turn was the Q and Tran fired 65,000. The big blind gave up his hand and Tran was at 260,000. Nicholle Peppe Takes A Massive 2.5 Million Pot Off Lutz On a flop of 1097, Tom Lutz bet 300,000 and Nicholle Peppe shoved for 1,099,000. Lutz made the call and the hands were turned over. Lutz: 108 Lutz gambled with his top pair and open-ended straight draw, but the turn was the 4 and the river was the 2 and Peppe doubled up in the biggest pot of the tournament. She was at 2.7 million while Lutz dropped to a still respectable 1.16 million. Player Tags: Nicholle Peppe, Joe Sebok, Nick Binger, James Akenhead, Cole South, Kara Scott, Tom Lutz, Bob Lauria |
