Back-To-Back Double Ups For ‘Yellowsub’
by Rachel on 06.21.09, 2:52 am
When we were making our way around the Amazon Room, where are the players in Saturday’s $1.5K NLHE event are now seated, compiling the chip count list found below we originally recorded Jeff “yellowsub” Williams’ (pictured at left) stack as having about 8K in it.
We had walked a few tables away when we noticed Williams pushing his stack in the middle. He found a caller and it was Williams’ pocket fives against his opponent’s A-K. The board was T
87T
9 and Williams doubled up.
We got just a few steps away before Williams was all in again. The player in seat two had made a raise to 2K with the blinds at in early position 400/800 with an ante of 100 and Williams moved all in. It folded back around to seat two, who made the call. This time it was Williams with the A
K, but he was up against the K
K of his opponent. However, there was help for Williams on the A6425 board and just like that Williams is up to a healthy 42K.
We told you earlier that Mohsin “chicagocards1″ Charania has taken his share of beats this year at the WSOP. It is to no surprise then that he looked worried after calling an all in from a player holding AK against AQ. The flop was very safe, T53, but the K gave his opponent four outs to a jack. Mohsin looked like he might’ve had his eyes closed as the 8 rolled on the river, but he survived the hand and eliminated his opponent. Charania should feel good, after all he has almost 3x the average stack with 68K.
Dutch “havoj” Boyd is trying to push his table around with a big stack. He recently got caught though, and after raising from early position a player three-bet all in from the blinds. The price was too good and Boyd had to call. “This is a really loose call,” he said to his opponent while pushing chips into the middle. The player in the blinds tabled JJ to which Dutch muttered, “Oh now I’m embarrassed.” His 95 was way behind, but the KQ6 brought some back door draws. The 9 on the turn kept him alive. Now any nine or five would give him the pot. The T came on the river though, and Dutch’s opponent held on. Boyd is still comfy though with 61K in chips.
Mike “SowersUNCC” Sowers and Brent “bhanks11″ Hanks have gone missing and we presume that they have hit the rail.
