The Money Bubble Nears
by Rich on 06.25.09, 12:16 am
We are seven eliminations away from the money in Event #45 and several P5ers are making some key moves.
Bryn Kenney (pictured left) has skyrocketed into the chip-lead after eliminating three players in under fifteen minutes. His first two victims got it all in pre-flop both holding AK when Kenney held 77. Bryn faded everything and sent them to the rail
His next victim was Andrew Feldman. With over 100K in the pot and the board read K
J
9
K6
, Kenney checked to Feldman who bet 66K. Bryn pushed all in and with only 80K behind Andrew called. Kenney tabled QT for the nut straight and Feldman mucked KJ and was busto.
After those two hands, Andrew is now our chip-leader with over 600K in front of him.
Mohsin “chicagocards1″ Charania doubled up through Eugene Todd. The two got it all in before the flop, and Charania’s kings held against Todd’s jacks.
Don’t worry bro, Eugene doubled up a few hands later catching a queen with AQ against an opponent’s AK.
Davidi “legrouzin” Kitai has cruised the entire day and is among the chip leaders with 326K and Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin is quietly chipping up too. Baldwin forced player all in before the flop holding pocket queens to his opponent’s A-Q. The board came KJ348 and Eric increased his stack to 440K.
WSOP 2009 EVENT #47 $2.5K MIXED HOLD’EM
Alex “Kadabra” Keating came back from dinner break in the $2.5K Mixed Hold’em event with a very short stack. With the blinds at 200/400 with an ante of 50, Keating was all in for his last 3,050. David “Doc Sands” Sands made the call and tabled A7, which was ahead of Keating’s KJ. There was help for Keating on the river, though, when the board came 9959J and he doubled to almost 7K.
Justin “fluffdog” Filtz, pictured right, just built his stack to 25K or so when his pocket aces stayed ahead of his opponent’s pocket kings on a board of QT442. We missed the action but there appeared to be betting on every street before the rest of the other player’s money went in on the river.
Jared “TheWacoKidd” Hamby had pocket aces but didn’t collect quite as many chips. Hamby called a raise of 1.1K before the flop and saw QJ5. His opponent led out for 1.7K and Hamby raised 3K more. The other player folded and Hamby flashed his aces before tossing them in the muck.
WSOP 2009 EVENT #46 $2.5K LIMIT OMAHA 8
Sasha “bikocruz” Rosewood leads all P5ers with 45K in Level 14 of Event #46. Rosewood has been comfortably chipping up the entire day.
After a roller coaster day, Shannon Shorr has hit the rail. Whenever we checked in it seemed like Shorr got shorter and shorter and during our last check-up he was MIA.
