Level 3 Update: Cantu on the RiseSep 23, '10 Blinds: 150-300 Players Remaining: 134 out of 137 (unofficial) Chip Counts: 1. Fabian Quoss 73,000 Average Chip Count: 30,000 Notable Eliminations: Michael Mizrachi Big Hands: Brandon Cantu Climbs the Ranks A player UTG limped and James Dempsey raised to 1,100. Brandon Cantu reraised to 3,200. UTG made the call and Dempsey mucked. The flop fell A84 and both players checked. They also checked the 4 on the turn. The river fell 3 and Cantu bet 5,000. His opponent made the call and Cantu flipped over two red kings. His opponent mucked and Cantu’s stack now sits amongst the chip leader at 60,000. Selbst Wild Ride The chip count of Vanessa Selbst has been all over the place today. Her starting stack of 30,000 was quickly sliced in half. Her stack was decimated heading into the first break with just 500. She then climbed to 8,000, dropped to 5,000 and has currently clawed her way back up to 12,000. Ferguson Scoops a Few Chris Ferguson has been quietly making moves all day. The pots have been small but every chip counts as players attempt to make it to day 2. Not long before break he took some chips from Pascal Lefrancois. With a nice little pot building preflop, the play slowed down after the J 10 8 flop with both players checking. They also checked the A turn but Ferguson placed two 1,000 chips out in front of him as soon as the 8 came down on the river. Lefrancois thought for a moment and then folded. Ferguson raked another small but healthy pot in. Missing Mizzi The field is one more pro down as we head into the next break. After numerous confrontations throughout the day Sorel Mizzi made his final stand against his day 1A nemesis. Mizzi made it 2,100 from the cut-off and the player in under the gun +1 position made it 5,100. After some time in the tank, Mizzi shipped the rest of his chips in and with a snap-call from his (Scandinavian-looking) opponent, the two revealed their cards. Mizzi’s A-Q was racing against his opponent’s A-K and the board fell 7-5-2-K-Q just to add insult to injury. Left In The Deck: High Roller Heads-Up Report — Still Four Left The £10,350 heads-up high roller event is down to the final four players today after a nice-sized field of 103 players entered the prestigious event. There is £288,409 and a gold bracelet up for grabs for first place and the runner up will take home £178,211. The two players that will be eliminated in the semi-finals today will take home £96,212 each. The final four players and their semi-final matches currently look like this: Gus Hansen (1.62 million) vs. Andrew Feldman (300,000) The semi-finals have been playing for a while now and after those matches are settled the final two will return for a best-of-three match to decide who walks away with the bracelet. Hansen and Vaswani currently have the upper hand, we will see if they can close things out and create a very exciting final matchup.

Huck Seed – 76,000 Notable Eliminations: none Big Hands: Negreanu Doubles Through Jesus Daniel Negreanu raised to 2,200 and was called by Chris Ferguson from the big blind. The flop came A106 and Ferguson checked to Negreanu, who fired 2,500. Ferguson check-raised Negreanu to 6,000 and Negreanu moved all-in for his last 18,000. Ferguson made the call and found some bad news. Negreanu showed 66, for a set of sixes, and Ferguson held the A8, good for top pair. After the 2 came on the turn, Ferguson was officially drawing dead and Negreanu doubled up to 41,700. Hellmuth Applies Pressure Phil Hellmuth raised to 2,200 and Huck Seed made the call from the button. Both players checked the A72 flop and saw the 9 fall on the turn. Hellmuth bets 3,000 and Seed raised to 10,000. There was very little time elapsed before Hellmuth moved all-in for another 26,000. Seed thought for a while before letting his hand go into the muck. Hellmuth is up to 40,000 in chips while Seed slipped down below 80,000. Hachem and Harman Get It In, Chop It Up Johnny Chan raised to 3,100 and Joe Hachem made it 7,200.

Mike Matusow was moving all-in and before he could even finish getting the words out of his mouth, Negreanu had already made the call. Negreanu showed KK, good for top set and Matusow showed K3, giving him top pair and zero chance at winning the hand. The 6 on the river was a mere formality and Matusow is on his way out of the tournament area. Negreanu chipped up to 160,000 Jesus Can’t Find a Miracle T.J. Cloutier raised from the cutoff and Chris Ferguson moved all-in on the button. Cloutier called and saw the good shape he was in. Ferguson tabled 8h8d and Cloutier was way out in front with his 1010. The board came AKJ27 and you will notice that none of those cards were the 8 that Ferguson was looking for. Ferguson is eliminated while Cloutier is up to 60,000. Esfandiari Gone The board read 1074Q and Antonio Esfandiari was getting all of his chips in the middle against Johnny Chan. Chan tabled 1010, giving him top set, and Esfandiari was drawing dead with AQ. The river was meaningless and the magician will have to wait for another tournament to play. “I folded sevens, Johnny,” said Jennifer Harman as Esfandiari was parting way with the table. Scotty Nguyen Eliminated The action has really picked up in this level. We saw Scotty Nguyen getting all of his chips in on the river, but mucking to Joe Hachem when Hachem showed trip sixes. Elky Eliminated Daniel Negreanu raised under-the-gun and Bertrand Grospellier movedl all-in. Negreanu made the call and tabled AK and was off to the races when he saw the 22 of Grospellier. The board ran out Q73JK and Negreanu eliminated Grospellier, leaving us with just 11 players. Hellmuth Can’t Hold On Any Longer Phil Hellmuth was down to just two big blinds when and was in the big blind. Action folded to Howard Lederer in the small blind. Lederer raised and Hellmuth called without looking. Lederer showed A9 and Hellmuth want to look at his cards after the board was dealt. Negreanu insisted he just turn his cards over and he turned over the 6 while the dealer peeled off the flop of A93. Hellmuth was going to need help regardless of what his other card was and after the dealer put out the 4 on the turn, Hellmuth revealed his J as his other card and he was officially drawing dead. The players are combining to one ten-handed table and will be on the money bubble after an extended break. Player Tags: Scotty Nguyen, Chris Ferguson, Antonio Esfandiari, Howard Lederer, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Bertrand Grospellier |
