Darryll Fish Eliminated By Harvey Vandeven

May 09, '14

Darryll Fish was left quite short after calling an opponents all-in with pocket tens only to find he was up against pocket aces. After paying out the roughly 22,000 he owed in that pot his stack sat at around 7,000.

Fish was all-in from late position just a few hands later and got called by 2013 CPPT bestbet Jacksonville champ Harvey Vandeven, who held the J10. Fish was ahead with the A6 and was looking good to double up after the flop brought the 763. The 7on the turn meant that he would have to avoid only a non-diamond ten or jack on the river.

The 10 was one of those few outs, and when it hit the river it secured the pot for Vandeven and sent Fish to the rail shortly before dinner break.

A Fish Just Sat In

May 09, '14

Darryll Fish’s last name may imply one thing about his poker game, but the Florida resident’s live tournament earnings of over $1.3 million and online scores worth nearly $900,000 (pre-dating Black Friday) clearly paint a different picture.

Fish has just taken his seat here on day 1A, joining 2010 WSOP November Niner John Dolan’s table.

Darryll Fish Eliminated

May 10, '14

With a flop of AQ10 Darryll Fish bet 4,500 when checked to, only to have Konstantino Pantaridis check-raise to 18,000. Fish moved all-in and was quickly called.

Fish had the best of it with the QQ well ahead of Pantaridis’ AK but that all changed when the J hit the turn. Fish was left needing the board to pair or he would be eliminated from the event.

The 8 on the river was no help and Fish was sent to the rail late on day 1B.

Darryll Fish Still Treading Water

May 10, '14

A player in middle position raised to 1,100 and was called by the player in the cutoff. The button folded and Darryll Fish moved all-in for approximately another 10,000 more from the small blind. Slowly but surely all of his opponents folded and Fish raked in the pot, increasing his stack by over 25% without showdown.

Joe Poole Wins One Off Darryll Fish

May 10, '14

Jonathan Abla limped from the hijack for 200 and Darryll Fish made it 700 to go from the cutoff. Joe Poole called from the button and Abla called as well. The flop brought the AA4 and all three players checked.

The turn brought the 10 and Abla again checked. Fish now bet 1,600 and Poole called. Abla folded and it was heads-up going into the 9 river. Fish flung out a 5k chip and announced a bet (we were unable to hear the exact amount). After some thought, Poole moved all-in for roughly 8,000 total.

Fish went into the tank, staring down Poole for a bit before clearly going through the streets of the hand and examining the action. Eventually Fish folded his hand and Poole raked in the pot.

Darryll Fish Eliminated By Harvey Vandeven

May 09, '14

Darryll Fish was left quite short after calling an opponents all-in with pocket tens only to find he was up against pocket aces. After paying out the roughly 22,000 he owed in that pot his stack sat at around 7,000.

Fish was all-in from late position just a few hands later and got called by 2013 CPPT bestbet Jacksonville champ Harvey Vandeven, who held the J10. Fish was ahead with the A6 and was looking good to double up after the flop brought the 763. The 7on the turn meant that he would have to avoid only a non-diamond ten or jack on the river.

The 10 was one of those few outs, and when it hit the river it secured the pot for Vandeven and sent Fish to the rail shortly before dinner break.
