Couple More Hands
by Court on 12.15.08, 12:43 am
After a draw to see how many more hands will be played, each table will play out that set number of hands and then be done for the day. The Bellagio does this to prevent stalling at the end of the day. With somewhere around 20 minutes left in the day they draw a card and somewhere between 1 and 9 more hands are played at each table.
The last level saw a few more bustouts, with Jared “TheWacoKidd” Hamby, Matt “Plattsburgh” Vengrin, Glen “Choron” Chorny, and Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson (right) all being eliminated. Johnson was short stacked and moved in for his last 6k and change from late position and David Singer called from the big blind with the A
9. Singer had Marco’s 9
4 dominated and his hand held up to bust Johnson from the tournament.
Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi took a small hit late in the day. On the turn of a J7
58 board Sorel bet 7,700 and was raised to 16,700. Sorel thought for a while before making the call and the river was the 5. Mizzi quickly checked and the other player bet 17k. Sorel went into the tank, thinking for a few minutes before asking his opponent “pocket eights? If I guess your hand dead on will you show me?” Sorel got no response from the other player and after a few more minutes folded his hand. The other player did show his hand - the 63.
Adam “Roothlus” Levy was able to chip up a little to over 80k while Haffa “Hafizzle” Khan had a rough end to the day and has dropped a chunk of chips down to around 70k at last check from his earlier stack of well over 100k.
End of day chip counts will be available later tonight.
