1st Place: Chad Brown ($29,100)


The board read [7c][6d][Ac], and James Campbell was all in holding [Ah][9s] and was up against Chad Brown's [9h][8h]. The [5c] turn completed Chad's straight, but James had a gutshot to a bigger straight. The [Jd] river meant Chad would win the hand. The stacks were counted down, and it was confirmed that Chad had James covered. James will exit the tournament in 2nd place for $17,984.

Chad Brown has won his first WSOP Circuit ring, along with $29,100 for 1st place. Congratulations, Chad!

2nd Place: James Campbell ($17,984)


James Campbell doubles up three times to even the stacks

Chad Brown had James Campbell on the ropes, and James was all in with ten-eight against Chad's ace high. James turned a straight to double up and survive.

A few hands later, again Chad had James in bad shape with queens to eights, and again James found a straight on the river.

For a third time, Chad had James all in. This time James had ace-six to Chad's eight-seven. The ace high held up, and James will double up to 586,000, now only slightly behind Chad's 774,000.

Chad Brown doubles through James Campbell to take the chip lead

Chad Brown was all in preflop holding [Qs][Jc] and was flipping with James Campbell's [9d][9c]. The [Ts][Jh][2h] flop gave Chad top pair, and the [2d] turn and [5c] river changed nothing. Chad's stack was counted down to 440,000, and he will double up to take the chip lead. James will be left with 500,000, but it is still anyone's game as they are playing 8,000/16,000 blinds with a 2,000 ante.

3rd Place: Joshua Silva ($12,804)


Joshua Silva raised the small blind and Chad Brown called from the big blind. The flop fell [Ts][Qd][Ks] and Joshua moved all in. Chad made the call, showing [Kc][Tc] for two pair. Joshua held [Qc][7s] and would need to catch a queen to survive. The [6c] turn and [8h] river meant Joshua will exit this tournament in 3rd place, good for $12,804.

Chad Brown leads final three as Event #3 concludes for the day

Chad Brown is the overnight chip leader
Play has concluded for the day in Event #3 $1,125 NLH. Play was three handed when it was decided to play an extra level in Day 1. Though there were many allins during the level, the short stack kept doubling up. So the same three players will return at 1pm EST to play down to a winner.

Here are chip counts for the remaining players in seat order:

Chad Brown - 659,000
James Campbell - 411,000
Joshua Silva - 310,000

Event #4 $365 Omaha/8 Final Table Reached

Halfway through Level 20, it finally burst, and the remaining players made the money and the final table. They will return tomorrow at 1pm EST to play down to a winner. Here are chip counts and seating assignments:

Seat 1: Andrew Chapman - 148,000
Seat 2: Myron Ray Bernstein - 80,000
Seat 3: James Kilarjian - 126,000

Three handed chip counts

The final three players are on a 15 minute break, and will play at least one more level today. Here are updated chip counts, in seat order:

Chad Brown - 241,000
James Campbell - 656,000
Joshua Silva - 483,000
 

4th Place: Chris Tryba ($9,303)


James Campbell moved all in from the small blind, having Chris Tryba in the big blind covered. Chris called all in with king-jack, and was slightly behind James's ace-deuce. Chris found no help and will exit this tournament in 4th place, good for $9,303.

5th Place: Akash Mazumdar ($6,887)


Akash Mazumdar put the last of his chips in with [Ks][7s] and was called by James Campbell holding [Ah][Ts]. Akash said, "Ooops," and the dealer spread the [Kd][9h][Qd] flop. James would need to catch an ace or a jack to send his opponent to the rail. The turn [Tc] opened up a few more outs for James. The [Js] hit the river to put a straight on board, but James had a bigger straight with his ace. Akash will exit this tournament in 5th place, good for $6,887.

6th Place: Taylor Black ($5,199)

 

Taylor Black moved all in with [Ah][7c] and was snap called by Chad Brown who held [As][Ac]. As the flop fell [Ad][2c][4s], all Taylor could say was, "Wow," as he got up out of his seat. The turn and river fell [6h][6s] to give Chad a full house, and Taylor will exit this tournament in 6th place. He will earn $5,199 for his efforts.

Akash Mazumdar triples up

We saw a three way all in with both Taylor Black and Joshua Silva holding ace-king, and Akash Mazumdar holding [Qh][Jc]. Knowing the odds, Chris Tryba joked that he wanted to bet his stack on Akash's hand. It would have been a good bet, as the flop fell [4s][Ts][Qs], giving Akash top pair. He would still need to dodge quite a few cards, as one of the players held the [As]. The turn fell [4h] and the river [6d] to triple Akash up, bumping his chip count to 369,000.
