Updated chip counts at the break

The final six players are now on their first official break of the day. Here are updated chip counts in seat order:

Brian Altman - 8,045,000
John Gilmartin - 2,190,000
Don Fisher - 5,440,000
David Carleton - 1,980,000
Lou Giampa - 710,000
Ben Nakhoul - 1,705,000

Here are the remaining prizes left to play for:

1st Place: $84,208
2nd Place: $54,109
3rd Place: $38,368
4th Place: $27,054
5th Place: $20,906
6th Place: $16,970    

7th Place: Vic Amereno ($13,773)


Vic Amereno was all in preflop holding [As][Kh] and was up against the [Js][Jd] of Brian Altman. The [Qh][Th][Qs] flop was no help to Vic, nor was the [2h] turn or [2c] river. Brian's two pair will win the pot, sending Vic to the rail in 7th place. He will collect $13,773 for his efforts.

Don Fisher is the chip leader


Don Fisher has taken over a commanding chip lead. He now sits on around 6,150,000, which is so many physical chips that tournament staff are standing by to color some of those chips up. With 7 players remaining, Don has approximately a third of the chips in play. 

8th Place: Raymond Moseman ($10,822)


At 30,000/60,000 blinds, Raymond Moseman moved all in for around 3,000,000 and Don Fisher moved all in over the top for just a bit more. This time Don held [As][Ac] against Raymond's [6h][6c]. The [Ac][7h][9c][4h][Qc] board gave Don the winning hand, and once the stacks were counted down to confirm, Raymond was declared our 8th place finisher. He will collect $10,822 for his efforts today.

David Carleton doubles through John Gilmartin


David Carleton opened the pot and action folded to John Gilmartin in the big blind who moved all in. David snap called and tabled his [As][Ac], which coolered John's A-K. The [5s][4c][9h][6d][Kd] kept David's aces in front, unlike last night when aces chopped with A-K. David will double up to 2,800,000 while John will be knocked down to 2,250,000.

9th Place: Luis Vazquez ($8,166)

Luis Vazquez was all in preflop holding [Kh][Jd] and was called by Don Fisher holding [Ad][Kd]. Luis would need to get lucky, but the [Qs][Qc][Kc] left him drawing thin to a chop. The [2s] turn changed nothing, and the [5c] river meant Luis would be our 9th place finisher. He will collect $8,166 for his efforts.

Don Fisher doubles through Vic Amereno


Don Fisher was all in preflop and Vic Amereno made the call. It was another flip as Don held [Ah][Qs] to Vic's [Jh][Jc]. The [5h][As][6d] flop put Don in front, and no jack came on the [3h] turn or [Tc] river.

Don's stack was counted down to 855,000, and after paying off the allin, Vic was down to 255,000. Vic moved his chips in the very next hand and Don called him from the small blind. Vic had the best hand again with K-6 to Don's T-9, and the king high held up to double Vic up to just under 600,000.

10th Place: James Lex ($6,198)


James Lex was all in preflop and John Gilmartin made the call. James was flipping for his tournament life with [Ad][Qc] against John's [Js][Jc]. The board ran out [Tc][Kh][Ts][9c][5h] to keep the jacks in front, and James will be eliminated in 10th place. He will earn $6,198 for his efforts.

Final Table Chip Counts & Seating Assignments

With the elimination of Frankie Flowers in 11th place, the final table of Event #1 $600 NLH has been set. Here are chip counts and seating assignments for the final 10:

Seat 8: David Carleton - 1,085,000
Seat 9: Lou Giampa - 2,065,000
Seat 10: Ben Nakhoul - 2,750,000

11th Place: Frankie Flowers ($6,198)


On one of the first hands of Day 3, Frankie Flowers called Raymond Moseman's all in with ace jack. Raymond held [4h][4d] and hit a set on the [4c][Qh][Th] flop. Frankie did hold a gutshot, but Raymond made a full house on the [Td] turn, leaving Frankie drawing dead. The meaningless [7s] hit the river, and Frankie will be eliminated in 11th place. He will collect $6,198 for his efforts.

Monday, December 7, 2015

12th Place: Suad Kantarevic ($6,198)


From the button, Suad Kantarevic moved all in for 880,000 at 20,000/40,000 blinds. The big blind made the call with [As][Kh] and was dominating Suad's [Ad][9h]. The [Qh][Js][Qc] gave Suad some outs to chop, but the [Td] turn gave his opponent a straight. He could still chop with a king, but the river fell the [Jh] instead. Suad will exit this tournament in 12th place, good for $6,198.

13th Place: Je Wook Oh ($5,214)

Frankie Flowers raised preflop before Je Wook Oh re-raised. Frankie called, and then moved all in on the 6-6-3 flop. Je Wook elected to call, showing A-K, but Frankie had the best hand with pocket fives. A five on the turn sealed Je Wook's fate, eliminating him in 13th place. He will collect $5,214 for his efforts.

14th Place: Robert Negrotti ($5,214)


Robert Negrotti moved all in and was snap called by his opponent holding [As][Ad]. Robert was in bad shape with his [Ac][Kd], and the [6s][Qd][9h][5c][7c] offered him no help. Robert will take home $5,214 for his 14th place finish.

15th Place: Leonard Estabrooks ($4,624)

Leonard Estabrooks was all in preflop holding A-Q against the [9s][9c] of Frankie Flowers. The two nines held up to send Leonard to the rail in 15th place, good for $4,624.

16th Place: Donald Schneider ($4,624)


Donald Schneider was all in preflop holding [As][Qh] and ran into [Ah][Ad]. The board ran out [2h][5d][9c][6h][7d] to keep the aces in front. Donald will be eliminated in 16th place, good for $4,624.

17th Place: Thomas Sonnet ($4,624)


Thomas Sonnet moved all in from middle position and was called by the player to his left. Action folded to the big blind, but before he could act, Thomas exposed his [8s][8h]. The big blind folded, and Thomas's opponent showed [Th][Td]. The board ran out [5h][6c][2c][Ac][Kh] and the pocket tens held up. Thomas will exit this tournament in 17th place, good for $4,624.

Final two tables set

Anothony Larocca has been eliminated in 19th place with jacks against A-J, leaving the remaining 18 players to redraw for seats at the final two tables. They will resume play for 3 more minutes and then take a 15 minute break.

Je Wook Oh gets really unlucky


Je Wook Oh opened from the small blind and the big blind made the call. On the [tc][8s][td] flop, Je Wook Oh checked and saw the big blind move all in for 811,000, which was around eight times the pot. Je Wook snap called with his [ah][ad], and he was way ahead as his opponent was bluffing with [kd][jh] and had no outs. The [qs] on the turn gave Je Wook's opponent a king high straight draw, as an ace would give Je Wook a full house. Amazingly, the [9s] hit the river to complete his opponent's straight. After paying off the all in, Je Wook was left with under 400,000.

24th Place: Bobby Corcione ($3,443)

Bobby Corcione was all in holding A-7 and was called by Q-J. By the turn, Bobby's opponent had made a straight to send him to the rail in 24th place. He will collect $3,443 for his efforts.

Final 3 tables reached

With the elimination of Jiqiang Tong in 28th Place, Event #1 is now down to the final 3 tables. There is no redraw until the final 18 players, so a table will be broken and play will continue. In 3 minutes, the final 27 players will be on a 1 hour dinner break.

Here are the recent eliminations:

28th Place: Jiqiang Tong ($2,459)
29th Place: Lynn Murphy ($2,459)
30th Place: Brian LeBlanc ($2,459)
31st Place: Raj Patel ($2,459)

28th-36th Place: $550

Raj Patel has been eliminated

We didn't see the preflop action, but the flop was 8-6-5 and Raj Patel checked to Frankie Flowers. Frankie bet and the other player in the pot called before Raj moved all in. Frankie folded and the other player snap called. Raj held top set, but his opponent had flopped a straight with 7-4. The board failed to pair, and Raj will exit this tournament in 31st place.

One orbit with Je Wook Oh


With 33 players remaining, the blinds are currently 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante. We follow Je Wook Oh for an orbit, starting with him in the big blind.

Hand 1: The player in the hijack opens and Je Wook defends his big blind. The two check the [2s][qh][ah] flop, and then Je Wook check-folds the [2d] turn.

Hand 2: There is some controversy on the antes, but finally a hand is dealt. Action folds to Je Wook in the small blind, and he limps. The big blind checks and the two check down a [jh][5d][6d][3s][ts] board. Je Wook wins the pot with [kh][6h].

Hand 3: UTG raises to 28,000 and the cutoff makes the call. Je Wook and the small blind fold, and Don Fisher in the big blind calls. UTG c-bets 42,000 on the [2d][jc][ac] flop only to see Don check raise all in. UTG folds, and Don wins the pot.

Hand 4: The hijack raises to 27,000 and the big blind calls. The flop falls [5h][jc][qs] and both players check. The [4c] falls on the turn and the big blind check folds to a delayed c-bet.

Hand 5: Dave Collin in UTG+1 raises to 30,000 and the cutoff moves all in. The big blind asks for a count and is told 229,000. He folds, but Dave makes the call with [ac][kc]. The cutoff is in bad shape with his [as][7s], and the [3d][kh][qh] leaves him drawing to runner runner. The [6s] turn gives him a backdoor flush draw, and the [9s] river completes that draw. Dave requests the hand go on the blog since people never believe him.

Hand 6: Je Wook raises to 26,000 from middle position and the button and both blinds make the call. The flop falls [qs][4d][jd] and all four players check. The [8c] lands on the turn, and this time everyone checks to the button who bets 40,000. The blinds fold and Je Wook makes the call. Heads up the [3h] fiver goes check check and the button shows [qc][5c]. Je Wook re-checks his cards and mucks.

Hand 7: All players fold to Don Fisher who raises and takes done the blinds and antes. He flashes the [ah] to his table mates.

Hand 8: Je Wook is under the gun and folds. UTG+1 limps, as does the button and Dave Collin in the small blind. The big blind checks and the dealer spreads the [qs][as][6h] flop. All four players check to the [9d] turn, and Dave leads for 40,000. Only UTG+1 makes the call. The [6c] river prompts a 50,000 bet from Dave, and that bet is called. Dave says "I have an ace" as he shows [ah][4c]. That's enough to win the pot.

Jiqiang Tong is over one million


On the last hand before break, Jiqiang Tong was heads up against his opponent. The board read [6h][Jd][8h][Qd] and Jiqiang check-raised to 200,000. His opponent called, and the river was the [8s]. Jiqiang kept the betting lead and bet 275,000, which got his opponent to fold.

Heading into break, 34 players remain. Jiqiang is in the top 5 with his 1,040,000 chips.

Tim Reilly eliminated


With the player in the big blind on penalty and away from the table, Frankie Flowers opened to 32,000 at 5,000/10,000. The player on the button called, and Tim Reilly moved all in for not much more from the small blind. Frankie snap folded, and the button called with [Kh][Js]. Tim was ahead with his [As][Th] but would need to dodge some cards. The [Kd][4d][6h] flop wasn't good news for him, but the queen on the turn opened some more outs from him. The river bricked, however, and Tim will be eliminated in 45th place.

Frankie Flowers takes over the chip lead


With 200,000 already in the middle, the board read [6s][5s][9h][Th] and Frankie Flowers checked to his lone opponent. The bet was 140,000, to which Frankie responded with an all in shove. His opponent thought for awhile, but eventually laid it down. Frankie showed the [Jd], telling his opponent he put him on ace king.

After that hand, Frankie stacked his chips and discovered he had 800,000, which is good for the chip lead with 50 players remaining.

Jiqiang Tong leads final 62 players


While there are quite a few stacks over 500,000, everyone is chasing Jiqiang Tong with 740,000. On the last hand before break, he knocked out two players in the same hand when he made a full house with his pocket sixes. Frankie Flowers, just to Jiqiang's right, is right behind him with 630,000.

Je Wook Oh is still sitting pretty with 440,000, Raj Patel sits on a comfortable 210,000, but Don Fisher has them both outchipped with 460,000. Tim Reilly has some work to do, sitting on a short stack of just 110,000.

Two players went out on the same hand in hand-for-hand play, bringing the 51 remaining players into the money and on to Day 2.

In one hand, three players saw a 10-2-2 flop, and two players got it in. One had [Qh][Th] and the other had [Js][2s]. The trip deuces held up to eliminate the other player.

On another table, two players saw a 10-10-9 flop, and the shorter stack moved all in with Q-9. The other player called with a flopped full house, holding the last two remaining nines. No miracle came to save that player's tournament life.

Since the two went out on the same hand, they will chop the minimum cash, getting $615 each.

A full list of returning players from all flights combined will be posted shortly, along with seating assignments. Play will resume at 12pm EST.
