Larry Wright Done in by Quad JacksApr 10, '15 Larry Wright has been eliminated for the second time today. The player in the cutoff shoved and Wright called from under the gun. Wright tabled pocket kings and the cutoff turned over pocket jacks. Several audible gasps erupted from the table as the dealer spread JJ3, leaving Wright nearly drawing dead. Runner-runner kings were not to be found as the board ran out 46 and Wright was sent to the rail for a second time today. Wright told us he was going to pass on bullet number three at the moment, but he will be back tomorrow. Player Tags: Larry Wright Be Mindful of the ColorsApr 10, '15 A player at Larry Wright’s table just made a mistake that likely cost him some action. Wright limped from under the gun and a player in middle position did the same. When action came to the player in the hijack seat, he tossed out a bet of 5,025 – one grey chip and one green chip. Someone at the table made a comment about the size of the bet, and only then did the bettor realize he had tossed out the wrong denomination chips. “That’s a 5,000 chip,” someone told him. “The bet is now 5,025,” another player said. The blinds, Wright and the player in middle position all folded their hands and the erroneous better took the pot. He showed pocket jacks as pushed his cards toward the dealer. Player Tags: Larry Wright Larry Wright DoublesApr 10, '15 With the board reading KJ24 Larry Wright moved all in for about 8,000 and found one caller. “What do you have? A set?,” his opponent asked just before calling and tabling AK. Wright did indeed have a set, a set of jacks to be exact, and doubled up when the board completed 10. “I knew that’s what he had,” Wright’s opponent said as he scooped up the pot. Player Tags: Larry Wright Larry Wright EliminatedApr 10, '15 2012 WSOP bracelet winner Larry Wright and an opponent on the button were going to a flop together. Wright announced that he was checking in the dark before the 843 rolled off the deck. The player on the button bet 4,000 and Wright made it 11,000 to go. The button moved all in and Wright made the call with the 76 for a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. His opponent held the 99 for an over pair. The turn brought the J and the river the 3, keeping the pocket nines in the lead and sending Wright to the rail. He has since re-entered. Player Tags: Larry Wright Larry Wright Wins A Classic RaceApr 11, '15 Larry Wright opened to 5,500 from under the gun and it folded to the small blind, who made it 26,200 to go. Wright moved all-in for 72,900 total and the player in the small blind quickly made the call with the AK. Wright held the QQ and it was a classic race situation. The board ran out Q64106 to give Wright a winning full house and the full double. Player Tags: Larry Wright Larry Wright Doubles AgainApr 11, '15 The player in the hijack opened to 1,600 and Larry Wright called from the big blind. The flop brought the AQ10 and Wright checked to the hijack who pushed all in, having Wright covered. Wright made the call for his last 9,500 with the Q10 for bottom two pair, which was ahead of his opponent’s AK. The turn brought the 5 and the river the Q, giving Wright a full house and the double up to over starting stack. Player Tags: Larry Wright Wright Gets Well-Timed DoubleApr 11, '15 Larry Wright moved his last 3,050 into the middle from the hijack after action folded to him. “You’re going to get called at least,” said the player on the button. The button called and everybody else folded. Wright tabled AQ and was in the lead against the button’s A3. The board ran out K742J and Wright’s better ace-high held up for the double up. He doubled up to 7,100. Player Tags: Larry Wright Wright Doesn't Want to RebuyApr 11, '15 On a flop of 754, Larry Wright bet 225 from the hijack and was raised to 600 by the cutoff, which sends Wright into the tank. “I sure don’t want to rebuy,” said Wright. “I really like this table.” After a few moments in the tank, Wright moved all in for 5,725 and the cutoff tanked for a few moments before folding 106 face-up. “You folded a straight draw?” asked Wright. Wright showed the 6 and takes the pot. He moves to 7,350 in chips after getting a fold. Player Tags: Larry Wright Calling the Clock on Larry WrightApr 11, '15 With the board reading 6436 and about 11,700 in the pot, the player in the cutoff announced he was all in. Action rested on Larry Wright on the button. “Why you are doing this to me,” Wright to the cutoff. “We were just getting to know each other?” As Wright was talking through the possibilities another player asked for the clock. “That’s ridiculous,” Wright said. “It’s only been a minute and this is a major decision.” Wright asked his opponent if he should fold or call, stating he would do whatever his opponent wanted. The cutoff just smiled and waited for Wright to decide. In the end, Wright folded his hand before the floor could make their way across the room to his table. “What do you call that in basketball when someone steps over the free-throw line?” Wright asked. “A line foul! That was a line foul!” Player Tags: Larry Wright Threadgill Gives Wright Some InformationApr 12, '15 Mark Threadgill led out for 31,000 out of the big blind on a flop of 1083 and Larry Wright calls on the button. The turn was 9 and Threadgill bet 36,000 and Wright called again. The river was the J and Threadgill reached for chips before betting 75,000, which sent Wright into the tank. Wright puts his face in his hand and sits silent for several minutes before getting up and eyeing Threadgill’s stack. “You want a call?” asked Wright. “It’s up to you,” responded Threadgill. Another few minutes went by and a clock was called on Wright. “I need a coin,” said Wright. “Heads I call, tails, I go all in.” Somebody gave Wright a coin, but instead of flipping it, he folded J9 face up. “That’s the biggest bluff I have ever seen,” said Wright. “You suck,” said Threadgill with a laugh. “You can’t beat anybody.” Threadgill showed AQ as he tossed it into the muck and he scooped the pot. “I got the information I wanted,” said Wright, who dropped to 160,000. Threadgill is still among the chip leaders with roughly 450,000. With the conclusion of the hand, there are 73 players remaining and round-for-round play begins. Player Tags: Larry Wright |

Dinner Break Chip CountsMar 15, '15 The tournament clock currently says that 49 of the 83 players who entered Day 1A are still alive in the race to the end of level 10. The remaining players are now on a one-hour dinner break and will player four more levels before bagging and tagging for the night. A walk around the room as the dinner break approached showed Matt Berkey with a stack of 80,000, placing him among the early chipleaders as the first flight heads into the home stretch. Rene Angelil is up to 61,000, while Eric Blair and Leo Wolpert have crossed the 50,000 mark. Noticeably absent among the eliminations post-re-buy period are Dan Sindelar and Justin Young. Chip Counts at dinner break:
A few hands from the pre-dinner levels: Eric Baldwin Versus the Button The player in the hijack seat opened to 800 and the button called. Eric Baldwin called from the small blind and the big blind did as well. A flop of 976 resulted in action being checked all the way around the table. After seeing the 4 on the turn, Baldwin bet 2,000 and action folded to the button. The button called and the two players saw the 4 on the river. Baldwin checked and the button fired out a bet of 3,500. Baldwin took a few moments before ultimately folding his hand. Randy Ohel Versus Larry Wright Randy Ohel raised to 800 from under the gun and immediately said he felt he had not made a big enough raise. “Part of me wants to lose this hand for not raising enough,” Ohel said as action worked its way around the table. “I bet that’s a very small part,” Matt Stout said as the player in middle position called and Stout folded his cards from the button. “Yes. More of me wants to win,” Ohel said. Larry Wright called from the small blind and the three saw a flop of Q92. Wright checked, Ohel bet 2,000 and the middle position folded. Wright called and he and Ohel faced the K on the turn. Both players checked and saw the 10 on the river. This time, Wright bet 3,500 and Ohel let go of his hand. “It’s not hard to bluff a guy that tells you he wants to lose,” Stout said as Wright pulled in his chips. Samantha Cohen Let’s Go A player in middle position raised to 700 and Samantha Cohen called from the small blind. The big blind three-bet to 1,500 and middle position and Cohen both called to see a flop of J86. Action checked around the table and the dealer revealed the 3 on the turn. Cohen checked and the big blind cut out a bet of 2,500. Both Cohen and the player in middle position folded. Player Tags: Larry Wright, Eric Baldwin, Randy Ohel, Samantha Cohen Field Filling UpMar 15, '15 As the clock ticks forward on this first of two starting days, the field is becoming more stacked by the minute. Dan Sindelar, a member of the most recent batch of November-Niners, has made an appearance. Sindelar finished seventh in the WSOP main event and while that is impressive enough, the poker pro has also done very well here at the Wynn in years past. Sindelar won the $550 no-limit hold’em $250,000 guarantee during CPPT Wynn Season I in 2013, outlasting a field of 793 players and banking an even $60,000. The following year, Sindelar took third in the same event for $38,728. Randy Ohel and Eric Baldwin, both WSOP bracelet winners, have joined the growing field. Leo Wolpert, fresh off his win in the $650 no-limit hold’em $150,000 guarantee, has also taken his seat. Wolpert banked nearly $40,000 yesterday after defeating a field of 332 players. Kenna James joined Dutch Boyd’s table and took to Twitter to reminisce about the past.
Eric Blair, who finished sixth during Season II of the CPPT at the Palm Beach Kennel Club main event for $12,894 is in the field. Matt Stout, Corey Burbick and Larry Wright have taken their seats as well.
Player Tags: Larry Wright, Kenna James, Daniel Sindelar, Leo Wolpert, Eric Baldwin, Randy Ohel, Eric Blair Still More ArrivalsMar 16, '15 Jon Eaton took to Twitter to express his pleasure with the growing field, including players he is familiar with and those he is not.
While Eaton was Tweeting away, a few more players of note joined tournament. On another walk through the tables we found Joseph Cheong, David Singer, David Levi, Jimmy Tran, Jared Hamby, Frank Rusnak and Dan Sindelar. After busting with about one minute left in play last night, Larry Wright is also here again today. “I went all-in blind from the big blind,” Larry told us. “I didn’t want to come back with only 27,000 anyway.”

Larry Wright EliminatedAug 02, '13 We noticed Larry Wright exiting the tournament area and asked how his elimination hand went down. “It’s not even worth telling,” said Wright. “I gave it away.” After pressing some more, he finally admitted that he open shoved his last 12,000 with AJ, only to run into A-K. The turn gave him a flush draw for the sweat, but the river was a brick, sending him to the rail. Wright will be back tomorrow, however, for day 1B. Player Tags: Larry Wright Larry Wright Takes a HitAug 02, '13 Four players contribute 400 preflop and the flop was dealt A44. Larry Wright bet 550 from the cutoff and Linh Vuong raised to 1,200. Everyone else mucked and Wright reraised to 2,550. Vuong called and the 2 fell on the turn. Both players checked and the river brought the 7. Vuong bet 3,500 and Wright folded his hand. He was down to 17,050 after the hand and he said he had folded A-10. Vuong was close to 25,000 after the hand. Player Tags: Larry Wright Chop, ChopAug 03, '13 Larry Wright raised to 3,000 from middle position with AK and Jesse McVicker moved all in with 108 for about 35,000. Wright snap-called and the dealer began to peel off the cards. McVicker picked up a pair of tens after a 1096 flop, but the board completed 8J for a chopped pot. As the last card was dealt McVicker jumped out of his seat in disbelief. “Be careful jumping up like that boy,” Wright said. “You’ll break your back.” “I hope you break your back,” McVicker responded. A few hands later McVicker was eliminated when he got his remaining chips in the middle with K10 against an opponent’s QQ and the board ran out 663J3. Player Tags: Larry Wright, Jesse McVicker Larry Wright Can't CallAug 03, '13 Larry Wright raised to 6,000 from the hijack seat and the player in the small blind shoved for 70,500. Wright went into the tank for some time and asked how many places were being paid. The floor confirmed 81 players would make the money and Wright folded AK face up. The small blind showed J9 and the table and small crowd which had gathered erupted. “What can I do with Ace-King suited there,” Wright asked. “That was a great play by him. I put him on sixes or sevens. He’s not jamming with Aces of Kings.” “No, he would have min-raised or something,” another player said. “I wonder if people think I only care about the money,” Wright said. “I was just trying to get a read on him. I’ve never seen a guy so stoic in my entire life.” Player Tags: Larry Wright Larry Wright Grabs a PotAug 03, '13 The flop read Q107 when the cutoff bet 625.

Larry Wright EliminatedAug 02, '13 We noticed Larry Wright exiting the tournament area and asked how his elimination hand went down. “It’s not even worth telling,” said Wright. “I gave it away.” After pressing some more, he finally admitted that he open shoved his last 12,000 with AJ, only to run into A-K. The turn gave him a flush draw for the sweat, but the river was a brick, sending him to the rail. Wright will be back tomorrow, however, for day 1B.

Player Tags: Larry Wright Wright Gets No Callers For His KingsMar 19, '13 Larry Wright’s table, which also includes Cary Katz, Tim West, Tom Chae, Jimmy Tran and Trevor Pope, appears to be having quite a good time early on Day 2. Topics of discussion have included Wright and Katz swapping clothing styles among other things. Down to just over 28,000 Wright took a look at one of his cards and saw it to be the K. Pope had raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, Tran called from the button, Katz called from the small blind and Weight moved all-in from the big blind. “I only looked at one card,” Wright told his table. But Pope, Tran and Katz decided that moment was not the time to call Wright’s all in and folded their hands. “Let’s see what the other card was,” Pope said as wright moved his chips back across the betting ling. Without looking Wright flashed his other hole card to the table, the K. “I didn’t look at it,” Wright told the table of his pocket Kings and then proceeded to fist bump Katz. The entire table appears to have a good time. Player Tags: Larry Wright, Jimmy Tran, Cary Katz, Tim West, Trevor Pope, Hyoung Chae |
