No Limit Hold'em Level 11 recap

Jun 16, '08

Blinds: 800-1600 ante 200

Players Remaining: 72-716

Chip Average: 58,849

Chip Leaders:

Alex Zaslavsky: 210,000
Johnny Neckar: 150,000
Ryan Young: 148,500
Matt Vengrin: 147,500
Hjalti Jacobsen: 134,000
Alex Melnikow: 128,000
John Phan: 124,000
Early Plyler: 122,,000
Douglas Miranda: 115,000
Vincent Peraino: 100,000

Recap:

- Action started off fast and furious as the day began with 81 players vying for 72 spots. In the first deal of the day, one player tried to steal the big blind from a player who was absent by moving all in for about 16,000 from middle position, and Tony Dunst on the small blind chose to call with the A9. It turned out the original player had something of a hand, showing down 44, but the 9 in the window effectively ended his day.
- Alex Zaslavsky, huge-stacked all of yesterday, was involved in two confrontations when big pairs collided. Zaslavsky was ahead both times before the flop, but ended up splitting the two matchups. Fortunately for him, the second pot was worth dramatically more than the first.
- Kathy Liebert and Ryan Young are seated next to each other, and Liebert was overheard presenting Young with a proposition: "If you double me up, I won't try and bust you. How 'bout that?"

Big Hands:

Neckar Wins Big Pot Against Glover

Johnny Neckar and  Chris Glover got it all in for a big pot in a classic coinflip situation: Neckar held 99 and Chris Glover AK. The board ran out 1075J4, and Glover was eliminated and walking away before the dealer had a chance to count his chips. Neckar chipped up to about 150,000.

No, That's More Like a Bad Beat

The action checked to Sebastion Segobia on a flop of A108 and Sebobia bet 14,000. Joshua Norse on the small blind raised all in for 18,600 more. "Ace king?" asked Segobia, who had Norse covered by a few thousand. Finally, he decided to call. "Cooler, bro," said Norse, showing 1010 for the set. Segobia was in bad shape with AQ, but the J on the turn provided some help, giving him two ways to make a straight. The 9 on the river was one of those ways, and Norse was eliminated. Segobia saw his stack balloon to about 110,000 in chips.

Zaslavsky's Revenge

As the bubble neared, Zaslavsky was involved in two big pots, the first with Byron Kaverman, the second with Roberto Romanello.
In the first hand, Kaverman shoved all in over the top of Zaslavsky's early position raise for 34,100, and Zaslavsky deliberated before making the call. Kaverman showed 1010 but was behind Zasklavsky's JJ. "Oh, c'mon," said Zasklavsky, when he saw the 10 in the window. It got worse, as the flop came down Q1010. There were no running jacks to be had for Zaslavsky, who was left with about 100,000 chips after the hand.
A few hands later, Romanello raised to 4,500 and Zaskavsky reraised to 11,000. Romanello instantly shoved for about 90,000 more, and Zaskevsky instantly called with AA. Romanello showed QQ, and there were no miracle flops to be had this time, as it came down A64. Romanello was eliminated in 73rd place, and Zaskevsky was propelled back to the top of the leaderboard.
