More Big Names Fall

Jun 19, '07

Round two of today's $5,000 World Championship Heads Up No Limit Hold 'Em tournament continues through the hour with roughly 25 tables still playing. The winners are free to do whatever they want until round three starts at 10 p.m.

Current Eliminations

Shannon Elizabeth defeated
Daniel Alaei defeated Annie Duke
Tony G defeated Sam Farha
Chip Jett advanced.
Lee Watkinson defeated John Phan.
Sean McCabe defeated Steve Zolotow.


Patrick Antonius defeated Frederick Hallling
Antonius and Halling were all in after the flop. Antonius had pocket two's with a two on the flop and Halling had J 9 and was on a flush draw. The spade never came for Halling and Antonius' set held up.

Taylor "GreenPlastic" Caby defeated Jason Strasser
All in before the flop, Caby was holding A 8 and Strasser showed K J. The board came 10 6 4 8 2 and Strasser was eliminated.

John "Tex" Barch defeated Joe Cassidy
Cassidy and Barch were almost even in chips after a see saw battle that appeared to be never ending. Barch raised to $4,000 preflop and Cassidy went into the tank. Cassidy pushed all in after thinking for several moments and Barch instantly made the call. Cassidy turned over A 10 and Barch flipped over A J. The board came J 9 6 10 7 and Cassidy stood up to leave the table. Barch called him back because after the chips were counted, Cassidy had Barch covered by $1,700. Cassidy immediately pushed all in on the next hand with 6 3 and Barch called with A 9. The dealer laid out Q Q 3 2 A and Joe Cassidy was eliminated.

De Wolfe out foxes Jacob
Roland De Wolfe finally vanquished Alex Jacob in his match which lasted just over two hours. Towards the end De Wolfe forced Jacob all-in twice in quick succession from his position as dominant stack.

Both times Jacob doubled up – once with AJ Vs K3 and again with A3 Vs A2

However, the third time he was an overwhelming underdog, his K-6 offsuit against De Wolfe’s A-K offsuit and a dry board brought no help for a dejected looking Jacob and De Wolfe advances to round three.

 John Kabbaj, Rob Hollink, Jani Sointula, and Noah Boeken all won their games while Ram Vaswani was beaten.

Hour Six Recap

Jun 17, '07

Tournament Info

With Isabelle Mercier and others going out last level, only 360 of the 827 entrants remain in the $3,000 no-limit event.  The money begins at 81st place, with the starting payout at $5,250.

Laak Of The Irish

Phil Laak, who once held only three chips in his hand, is now up to around $20,000 in chips.  He must be having such a good time with tablemate Norm Macdonald that he just doesn't want to leave.

The Devilfish and The Poker Brat

Phil Hellmuth was facing a bet from Taylor "GreenPlastic" Caby on a rag flop.  Hellmuth fired up his engines and began to talk.  He said that he was going to lay down his hand because he knew of Caby, and his reputation.  After folding his hand, Hellmuth was shown Caby's A-9 for ace high.  "You're mine now," Hellmuth remarked. "Yum yum."  David "The Devilfish" Ulliot  shot back at Hellmuth, saying to him, "If you were chocolate, you would have eaten yourself by now, because you love youself so much."  With tension like this building, the action at this table next round will be something to behold.

Paul Testud $11,000
Ian Woodley $22,500

Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott $6,500

Vrabel Making Friends

Jun 18, '07

Luke Vrabel isn’t making many friends with his play today.  Vrabel elminated David Gross in 21^st place when he called his all in with J-9 suited, and the two pair on the board trumped Gross’s pocket threes.  Phil Hellmuth was visibly upset when he had to move to a different table; Hellmuth seems hell bent on personally busting Vrabel.

 
Our two pro bloggers, Evelyn Ng and Taylor Cabey busted in 25^th and 24^th place respectively, earning $14,608.  Norm MacDonald was eliminated in 20^th place earning the same payout.

There are currently 17 players left on the final two tables.
