Big Hands and Storylines:

Ramdin Outkicked

Action folded around to Victor Ramdin in the small blind who tossed in a 5,000 chip, declaring a raise. Michael Johnson in the big blind took a look down at his cards and made a quick call. Both players checked the QJ5 flop. The turn was the A and Ramdin checked. Johnson tossed out 6,000 and Ramdin made the call. The river was the 3 and Ramdin checked. Johnson checked behind and showed A7 for a pair of aces. Ramdin smiled and showed his narrowly outkicked A-6. Despite the loss, Ramdin still has 296,000. Johnson is up to 155,000.

Boatman Forced to Abandon Ship

Three players limped to the flop, including Barny Boatman in early position and Ruben Juarez in the cutoff. The flop was QJ5 and Boatman checked to Juarez who bet 3,000. The big blind folded and Boatman tossed in a raise to 8,000. Within seconds, Juarez had fired out a third bet, making it 16,000 more for Boatman to call. Boatman folded, leaving himself with 75,000 left after the hand. Juarez, from Ferris, Texas, is now approaching the chip leaders with 240,000.

Fun at Orange 33

The only table that began the day with two of the top 20 players in chip counts was Orange 33, with both Eric Crain and Baja Kattamuri seated there. It makes for tough going for Jennifer Harman, shortstacked with just 16,000 in chips. It got even more difficult when experienced pro Mike Matusow was moved to the table shortly after play began.

Hasan Habib Cripples Opponent, Adds to Stack

On a board of 9885, Hasan Habib faced a bet of 15,000 from his lone opponent.  After asking how much the player had behind the bet and discovering it was only 11,000, Habib put the player all in.  Habib seemed a little surprised when the player went into the tank without quickly calling.  Eventually the player mucked his cards and Habib showed him A9.  Habib maintained a healthy chip stack of over 200,000 throughout the first hour.

Rheem Wants to Gamble

David Rheem made a small raise from the cut-off, then the player on the button moved all-in for 25,000. Rheem, who began the day 12th in chips, said “I have enough chips to gamble” and made the call, showing QJ. His opponent held 77. The flop came 985, with neither player holding a heart. But the 10 on the turn filled the straight for Rheem who eliminated his opponent.

Lade Loses Early Pot

Terry Lade, 20th in chips to begin the day, was involved in a heads-up battle with the player in seat 1. Play had been raised preflop and bet after the flop, which came KQ6. After the 2 fell on the turn, seat 1 bet 18,000 and Lade called. The 9 was the river, and seat 1 bet 20,000. Lade again called, asking “you got ace-king?” Seat 1 shook his head as he flipped over AA to take down the pot.

Vanessa Rousso Lives On

Vanessa Rousso moved all in pre-flop for her last 28,300 in chips and was called by a single opponent. Rousso turned over QQ, dominating the other player’s AQ. The board ran KJ752, and Rousso more than doubled up. She currently has around 65,000 in chips.

Patrick Antonius Eliminated

Patrick Antonius’ main event run has finally come to an end. After starting today with a short stack, Antonius moved all-in from the big blind after a button raise. The raise was 25,000 more to Jim Dalessandro after his initial raise of 6,000. Eventually Dalessandro made the call. Antonius was behind with his KJ against his opponent’s A10. The flop was K62, a hit for Antonius. However, the running 4 turn and Q river gave Dalessandro an ace-high flush and Antonius headed for the rail.

Bill Gazes Plays it Straight

The action folded to the player in the small blind who completed. Bill Gazes checked his big blind option, and the dealer put down a flop of Q42. The small blind checked, and Gazes made a bet of 3,000. After his opponent folded, Gazes turned over QJ for top pair. “Honest, kitchen-table poker,” Gazes added. “Bet your pairs and check everything else.” Gazes finished the hand with around 40,000 in chips.

One hand, one elimination for chip leader

Brian Schaedlich was still getting his chips out of his bag when the first hand was dealt at his table. He had not even acted yet and a short stack moved all in. Schaedlich looked down at a pair of eights and made the call. His opponent held A-8 and did not get lucky. Schaedlich began the day with 801,000 chips and already has at least a little more. According to a player at his table who played with him on day one, Schaedlich was just catching hands all day, yet opponents seemed to never believe him and would call with their second-best hands.
