Level 1 Update: Gavin Smith EliminatedMay 29, '10 Blinds: 25-25 Starting Stack: 3,000 Notable Eliminations: Gavin Smith Big Hands: Smith Forced to Fold Four players saw a flop of Q97 and everybody checked to the player on the button who bet 75 and was called by Gavin Smith. The turn card was the 6 and Smith checked again. The button bet 200 and Smith called one more time and saw the 10 hit the river. Smith checked and button took a minute or so to bet 400. Smith, visibly displeased at the bet, eventually let his hand hit the muck. Gavin Smith Eliminated Gavin Smith got the rest of his short stack in on a flop of 1099 with the 108 and was called by an opponent with the A10. Smith failed to draw out and was eliminated early on Day 1A. Bad Board, but Devo’s Kings Hold After Brock Parker limped under the gun, Bryan Devonshire raised to 100 on the button. The player in the small blind called, as did Parker. All three players checked it down as the board ran out A32J10. Devonshire tabled the KK, which was good for the pot. Tommy Vedes Loses Some Chips On a paired board, Tom Vedes bet 100 with the A7 for jacks and sevens and was called by an opponent with two eights in the hole. Vedes lost the small pot and is down to 2,700. Elimination at Lauren Kling’s Table Two players got it all in on a flop of QJ3, with one tabling QJ for top two pair and the other exposed pocket threes for bottom set. Bottom set held up and one of the first casualties of the tournament has hit the rail. Lex Veldhuis Eliminates a Player Lex Veldhuis was in the big blind with about 2,800 when the button raised to 75. The small blind called and Veldhuis raised to 325. The button made a quick call and the small blind folded. The flop came 942 and Veldhuis continuation bet 425. The button made the call. The 5 hit the turn and this time Veldhuis bet 850 and the button took awhile before calling. The river brought the A and Veldhuis took some time to consider before moving all in for 1,625. The button tanked for a few minutes and finally made the call for his tournament life. Veldhuis tabled A5 for two pair. His opponent mucked and Veldhuis raked in the large pot. He is at 5,700 after the hand. Left in the Deck: One Big-Blind Hand Over at Brock Parker and Bryan Devonshire’s table (Green 197), a hand was played with just one big blind. The tournament staff was called over to look at the problem in the early stages of the 2010 World Series of Poker. Tough Table Draws and Notable Entrants Prior to his elimination, poker pros Gavin Smith, Kara Scott, and Allen Kessler were sitting at the same table among a sea of unknowns. At the table right next door sits a member of the Card Player Family — Allyn Jaffrey Shulman. Allyn’s husband and Card Player Publisher, Barry Shulman, is also in the field. Some other tough draws include a table with Joe Bartholdi, David Plastik, Jamie Rosen, and Soheil Shamseddin. As well as a table that includes Tommy Vedes, Andy Black, Tom Marchese and Brandon Cantu. For such a big field, some unknowns got a pretty unlucky table draw. Lex Veldhuis Talks with Adam and Diego Poker pro Lex Veldhuis discusses the 2009 WSOP TV coverage that built a ton of buzz around his aggressive game, his lighthearted rivalry with Eli Elezra and how he took advantage of being on TV in a recent episode of ‘The Scoop’ brought to you by Full Tilt Poker.

The middle position player quickly called, having Corkins covered. The other two players mucked. Corkins then tabled AK and was in deep trouble against the KK of his opponent. The flop came down J1010 and Corkins was actually a favorite to double up. The turn was the 4, dropping those percentages a bit and the J on the river put the final nail in the coffin, sending Corkins out of the main event. Keven Stammen Knocks One Out After a flop of K96, 2009 bracelet winner Keven Stammen was facing a bet from his opponent. He raised all in and was called. Stammen turned over Q10 for a gutshot straight draw along with a backdoor flush draw. His opponent showed K5 for top pair and the lead. The turn changed all that when the J made Stammen’s straight. The river was the K, giving his opponent useless trips and Stammen was over 100,000 with the win. Cajelais Moves Toward The Exit After a flop of A108, Cajelais ended up all in after he got in a raising war with Samer Rahman. Cajelais showed A3 for top pair but Rahman showed AQ for the same hand with a better kicker. The turn was the 6 and the river was the K and Cajelais was out of the main event. Rahman was up to 325,000. King Nothing Jimmy Fricke called his opponent’s all in bet of 11,000. The opponent showed A10 and Fricke tabled KK. If only the hand would have ended there, Fricke could’ve had a knockout under his belt. But the flop fell and brought AAQ, giving the all-in player trips. The turn was the J, giving Fricke a straight draw but eliminating a king as one of his outs. The river was the 9 and Fricke lost the pot. He was at 95,000. The Wrath Of Thor A player raised to 1,700 preflop and the action was on Thor Hansen. He reraised to 5,500 and his opponent came right back over the top to 16,000. Hansen then moved all in for 36,000 and his opponent made the call. Hansen then revealed AA and his opponent tabled KK. The board offered no help to the cowboys and Hansen doubled up to 77,000. Garrett Can’t Call Brad Garrett raised to 1,300 preflop and the blinds came along for the ride. The flop came down 826 and the small blind led out for 3,400. Garrett was the only caller and the K came on the turn. The small blind fired 6,000 and Garrett mucked. The small blind then showed 54 for just a flush draw and Garrett was down to 43,000. We Are Family Kara Scott limped in preflop for 600 and everyone else at her table did the same. This put more than 5,000 in the pot before the flop. It then came down A55. Scott took the initiative and bet out 3,000. The eight other players at the table mucked and Scott took a nice little pot. She was around 80,000.

Tilly Counterfeited, Sent Out Jennifer Tilly moved all in after a flop 876 and was called by an opponent holding 99. Tilly tabled 86 for two pair. The turn was the Q, holding Tilly’s lead but the 7 counterfeited her hand and sent her packing. Laak Gets Bombed After a flop of 843, a player bet 5,600 and another player in middle position called. The action was then on Phil Laak who shoved for over 53,000. Jani Sointula was also in the hand from the small blind and he made the call. The other players folded and Laak tabled K3 for the second nut flush draw and bottom pair. Sointula showed A6 for the nut flush draw. Sointula made no flush on the turn, but did hit the 6 to take the lead. Laak was in trouble and the river was the 8, dropping Laak’s stack to just 11,000. Brian Townsend Gone Brian Townsend got his stack all in preflop with Q9. He was called by one player holding pocket jacks and Townsend needed help. The flop came down A103, giving little help to Townsend. The turn was the J, giving his opponent a set but Townsend outs to a straight. But the river bricked for Townsend and he was gone. Thater Hammered Down, Then Busts Katja Thater had her opponent all in on the turn with the board reading 928J. Her opponent was holding A7 for the nut flush draw and a gutshot straight draw, plenty of outs. But Thater held two of those outs to a straight as she held 1010. Despite that, the 10 managed to fall on the river and Thater’s opponent doubled up. Thater was steaming after the hand, left with only 10,000 in chips. She would lose the rest of those later in the level. Brunson Drops Chips Picking up the action on the turn, the board read AK66. Todd Brunson was first to act and checked his option. His opponent bet 2,600 and Brunson made the call. The river was the 7. Brunson checked again and his opponent bet 5,100. Brunson called and was shown the bad news as his opponent flipped over 77 for a full house on the river. Brunson mucked and was under 30,000. Don’t Bluff Me, I’m Kara Scott A player in middle position raised to 1,025 preflop. The action folded to Kara Scott on the button. She raised to 3,000 and her opponent called. The flop was A2Q and action was checked to Scott. She bet 4,000 and her opponent came along. The turn was the 2 and Scott’s opponent led out for 6,700. Scott made the call and the river was the 6. Scott faced another bet, this one over 17,000. She made the call and her opponent mucked his hand. She tabled A3 for two pair and built her stack up to 63,000.

She doubled up to 270,000. Moments later, Bob Lauria moved in for 170,000 preflop and Scott made the call. Lauria tabled AK but was in big trouble against Scott’s pocket aces, AA. The flop came down Q910 and Lauria flopped tons of outs to a straight or club flush. The turn was the 4, making the flush and the river was the J to rub it in Scott’s face. Lauria doubled up and Scott was crippled with just 90,000 left. Later, Kara Scott moved in for just 70,000 and was called by Paul Baron. Baron tabled 53 while Scott held A2.

Tran Doubles UpJul 12, '09 Blinds: 4,000-8,000 with a 1,000 ante Players Remaining: 305 out of 6,494 Chip Counts: 1. Matt Affleck – 2,100,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Jeff Shulman – 575,000 Average Chip Count: 624,423 Notable Eliminations: David Levi Big Hands: J.C Tran Doubles After Nasr El Nasr raised to 20,000 preflop, J.C. Tran raised all in for his last 109,000. Steven Doebler was next to act and repopped to 200,000 total. Nasr folded and the cards were turned up. Doebler tabled AQ and was disgusted when Tran showed AK. The flop came down 544. “I’ll take another pair,” Doebler said. The turn was the 3 and there were straight possibilities. But the river was the 6 and Tran doubled up to almost 230,000. “One more time,” Tran said as he raked in the chips. David Levi Busts David Levi moved all in for his last 30,000 preflop with 70,000 already in the pot. He was called by the Clayton Newman. Levi turned over AQ while Newman tabled 1010. The flop came down K104, giving Newman a set but Levi a broadway draw. The turn was the J and Levi hit his straight, but the K on the river filled up Newman and Levi was gone. Benyamine Straight To A Million After David Benyamine and David McLarthy both put 17,000 into the pot preflop, the flop dropped 623. Benyamine led out with 28,000 and McLarthy made the call. The turn was the 4 and both players checked. The river was the 5, putting a straight on the board. Benyamine led out again with 125,000 and McLarthy just smiled. He threw in the call and Benyamine turned over 87 for the absolute nuts. McLarthy mucked and Benyamine took in the pot, vaulting himself over 1 million. Shulman Busts Andy Black We weren’t able to get close enough to the action since Jeff Shulman is at the feature table, but somehow he had eliminated Andy Black from the tournament and doubled up to 640,000 in chips. Ludovic Lacay Busts Another Ludovic Lacay called the all in of Shawn Pilot and showed 88 and was off to the races against Pilot’s AK. The board ran out 4J497, keeping Lacay’s pair in the lead and eliminating Pilot from the tournament. Sorel Mizzi Eliminated Sorel Mizzi got all of his chips in the middle with AJ and was called by Scott Cook who had 99. The flop was good for Cook as it came 963, but the K on the turn gave Mizzi some hope. The 10 on the river left Mizzi one card short of his flush and sent him home early on day 5. Stokes Doubles Through Kara Scott There was a raise to 20,000 and Jamin Stokes opted to flat-call. The action got to Kara Scott and she decided to make it 100,000 total. The original raiser got out of the way and action was back to Stokes, who thought for 30 seconds before moving all in. Scott made the call and showed AK and was behind Stokes KK. The board ran out 388JQ and Stokes doubled up. Crowe’s Kings Trump Taylor’s Jacks We were unable to catch when all the money went in, but Owen Crowe doubled through Brian Taylor with pocket kings against pocket jacks on a board that read 79632. “I didn’t want to play a big pot yet,” said Crowe. “But then I figured I had two kings, so I would.” Noah Boeken Scores A Knockout, Over A Million After a flop of 1084, Joseph Michael was all in and Noah Boeken made the call. Michael showed down QQ for an overpair but Boeken tabled 88 for a flopped set. The turn was the 6 and the river was the 7 and Michael was eliminated. Boeken raked in the pot and was at 1.3 million.
