Sorel Mizzi Eliminated

Apr 30, '09

Hungarian player Peter Traply bets 15,000 from the hijack and Sorel Mizzi reraises it to 48,500 from the small blind. Traply thinks for a moment and then calls. Mizzi puts his glasses back on and the flop is dealt: K 7 5. Mizzi bets 55,500 and Traply moves all-in, placing a stack of yellow chips worth 100,000 over the line. Mizzi goes into the tank, "Wow! really? Are you serious? You can take it back if you want!" he says and then continues with his interrogation, "What's your screen name online?" Traply smiles, sunglasses also in place, "I'm not telling." "Where you from?" Mizzi continues cheekily. He then thinks while repeatedly counting and riffling his chips.

He makes the call and flips over 10 10, while Traply shows K K. Mizzi needs a miracle and it doesn't come as the turn is the A and the river is the 8. Mizzi shakes his opponent's hand and makes his exit.

Traply is reported to be the unofficial chip leader now with over 900,000 chips.

$10,000 Main Event - Day 3 - Level 12

Jul 10, '08

Blinds/Antes: 1,000-2,000-300

Players Remaining: 974 out of 6,844

Average Chip Stack: 137,000

Eliminations:

Tony Cousineau
Erik Seidel

Big Hands and Storylines:

Shawn Sheikhan Loses Half His Stack in Two Hands

Shawn Sheikhan raised to 6,500 from middle position and was called only by the two players in the blinds. On a flop of A75, the action was checked to Sheikhan who fired a bet of 12,000 into the pot. The small blind called, allowing the big blind to get out of the way. The turn brought the A and another check from the small blind. Sheikhan launched four orange 5,000 chips across the line, and the small blind made the call. “Black card,” Sheikhan requested as the dealer put down the Q on the river. “God damn it,” Sheikhan exclaimed upon sight of the red queen. The small blind checked, and Sheikhan announced that he held an ace. The small blind turned over J10 and Sheikhan was verbally distraught. He flashed the Ac as he mucked his cards.

On the next hand, the player under the gun raised to 7,000 and Sheikhan made the call as the next player to act. All other players folded, and the dealer put down a flop of J86. Both players checked, and the 9 came on the turn. Again the under-the-gun player checked, prompting a bet of 15,000 from Sheikhan which was quickly called. The player check-called another bet of Sheikhan’s, this time 20,000, when a blank fell on the river. “You got it,” Sheikhan declared after his opponent made the call. The player turned over 1010 and Sheikhan mucked his cards.

After the two-hand downward spiral, Sheikhan was left with only 110,00 in chips.

Traply Needs No Trap To Snare Gray

Peter Traply raised to 5,300 from early position and Jason Gray called from the cutoff. The flop was AJ10 and Traply led out for 9,500, Gray called. Traply bet another 22,000 on the 5 turn and Gray again called. The river was the 4 and Traply fired a third bullet – 48,000 – which Gray called after a minute of thought. Traply tabled KQ for a flopped straight which was good to take down the sizeable pot. Traply is now up to 245,000; Gray is down to 75,000.

Matusow Takes a Hit

Mike Matusow raised pre-flop from middle position and was met with an all-in raise from an opponent. Matusow learned that it would be 8,500 more to call, and call he did. Matusow was pleased to see that his Q10 was live against his opponent’s A3 . The board offered no help, however, as it ran out J545K . After losing that pot, Matusow is down to 112,000.

Hevad Khan Doubles Up with an Unlikely Suck Out

After the action folded around, Hevad Khan made it 6,000 to go from his position on the button. The small blind folded, but the player in the big blind elected to call. The flop came 644 and the big blind led out with a bet of 8,000. Khan announced a raise and moved all in for an additional 36,300. The camera crews came rushing over while the big blind deliberated his situation, ultimately deciding to call. “Nice call. Do you have a pair?” Khan asked, to which his opponent nodded and turned over 22. Khan turned over A7 and needed to catch a card. The 8 on the turn didn’t directly improve Khan, but the 6 on the river counterfeited the deuces and brought a round of gasps from the players and spectators. Khan’s ace-high was good enough to double him up and bring him close to 100,000 in chips.

The two players had a recent history. After a flop of 554 Khan bet 11,500 and his opponent called. Both players then checked the 7 on the turn and 10 on the river. The button then showed 33 which was enough to win the pot.

Rousso Makes Jacks Work

Vanessa Rousso was in the small blind, and play was folded until a player in late position moved all-in for 28,000. Rousso, not with a lot of chips herself, made the call and turned over JJ. The all-in player held 74, and the flop gave him numerous outs, coming 642. However he had two swings and misses, as the 2 came on the turn and 8 hit the river to send the chips to Rousso. She now has about 74,000 in chips.

Hansen Dominated

Gus Hansen raised to 6600 from middle position and the small blind then moved all-in for 17,500. Hansen admitted he wasn’t crazy about his cards. “This is my worst hand of the day, which means I’m probably going to call,” he said. He came close to folding, but finally threw in the chips to call. He didn’t like realizing he was up against A6. “Oh my God, I wanted diamonds,” he said, turning over K7. Neither player would connect with the board that finished J8432 and the small blind stayed alive. A few hands later in the big blind, Hansen was given a walk, at which time he flipped over another king-seven. “Now I’m one-for-two” he quipped.

Agarwal drops 12,200x3 with tens

Aditya Agarwal faced bets of 12,200 on the flop, turn and river and called every time. The board in the end was K8792 and Agarwal's opponent flipped over AJ for a flush. Agarwal showed the 10 for a worse flush. His opponent then asked to see his other card. Agarwal didn't like it, but his opponent saw it was the T. After the hand Agarwal had roughly 200,000 chips.
