Event #2 Final Table Reached

The final table has been reached in Event #2: $1,125.  Only 9 players remain and they will resume tomorrow at 1 p.m. Chip counts and seating assignments will be posted shortly.

Event #2: $1,125 NLH is now hand for hand

Event #2: $1,125 NLH has played down to the final 16 players and are now hand for hand.  The next player to bust will be the bubble boy, while the remaining 15 players will be guaranteed at least a $2,426 payday.  Still alive in the field are Ryan Eriquezzo and Michael Nye.  Play will likely stop when a final table is reached.

1st Place: James Watt ($35,235)

On a [8c][6h][9c] flop, Edwin Balcarcel moved all in over a bet by James Watt.  James made the call and they tabled their hands:

James [Qc][Ts]
Edwin [6c][5h]

Edwin had the best hand with a pair but James was very live with two overs and a gutshot.  The [Jc] on the turn was enough to seal the deal as James had made a straight and Edwin was drawing dead.  The [5d] hit the river to give Edwin a losing two pair.

James Watt will collect $35,235 for his 1st place along with the World Series of Poker Circuit ring and the title.

2nd Place: Edwin Balcarcel ($21,729)

Edwin Balcarcel doubles through James Watt

On a [6s][4d][3h] flop, Edwin Balcarcel was all in with [5d][3d] and was called by James Watt holding [Ah][7s].  Edwin flopped bottom pair and an open ended straight draw, and merely had to avoid James's gutshot and overcard.  The [2h] turn changed nothing and the [8d] left James with just ace high.  Edwin will double up to approximately 2,200,000.

Event #1 is back in play

The final 2 players have taken their seats and have resumed play in Event #1: $365 NLH.  Blinds are now 25,000/50,000 with a 5,000 ante.  Here are the chip counts:

James Watt - 4,700,000
Edwin Balcarcel - 910,000

Final 2 players are now on dinner break

Play is heads up in Event #1: $365 NLH between James Watt and Edwin Balcarcel, and the two have elected to take the scheduled one hour dinner break.  Play will resume at approximately 7:55pm EST, though it may restart earlier if the players return.  The live stream will also resume at that point.

3rd Place: Richard Milo ($15,940)

On a [2d][6h][9d] flop, Richard Milo was all in holding [Qd][4d] against James Watt's [Ks][Kd].  Richard picked up additional outs when the [4c] hit the turn, but the [9c] fell on the river to keep the pair of kings in front.  Richard stood for a minute to digest the fact that he had been eliminated, but eventually went to the payout desk to collect his $15,940 for 3rd place.

4th Place: Scott Leedberg ($11,813)

Scott Leedberg was all in preflop holding [Ah][4s] against the [Ac][Tc] of Edwin Balcarcel.  The board ran out [Qs][6c][5s][Ad][2h] and Scott was eliminated in 4th place, good for $11,813.

Scott Leedberg doubles through Richard Milo

At 15,000/30,000 blinds, Richard Milo opened from the cutoff.  Scott Leedberg moved all in from the small blind for a little over 400,000, and Richard eventually made the call.

Scott [Js][Jh]
Richard [9s][9c]

Richard said, "I thought you had ace king" as the flop fell [5c][Jc][4s], leaving him drawing very thin to eliminate his opponent.  The [Qs] hit the turn to leave Richard drawing dead, and the meaningless [6h] fell on the river to earn Scott the double up.

Players are now on break

The four remaining players in Event #1 are now on their second break of the day.  When they return, blinds will be 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante.

5th Place: Alfred Renaud ($8,893)

On a [4d][8s][Tc][6h] board, Alfred Renaud and Scott Leedberg got all in, not sure who had who covered.  Scott had flopped a set with [Th][Td] and had Alfred drawing dead with his queen ten.  The river [Qs] changed nothing, and both stacks were counted down.  Scott had Alfred slightly covered, so Alfred will be our 5th place finisher.  He will earn $8,893 for his efforts today.

6th Place: Rob Hosgood ($7,494)

Rob Hosgood was all in preflop holding [As][9c] and was dominated by Richard Milo's [Ac][Qd].  The board ran out [8c][6s][Kh][4h][Ad] and Richard's pair of aces with a queen kicker was enough to send Rob to the rail.  Rob will earn $7,494 for his 6th place finish.

7th Place: Kevin Tsao ($5,202)

On a [Ac][5h][5c] flop, Kevin Tsao moved all in and Scott Leedberg called all in for less.  Scott made a good call as his [As][3s] was in front of Kevin's [7s][7h].  The board ran out [Kh][Jh], and Scott doubled up, leaving Kevin crippled.

On the next hand, Kevin was all in with T-3 and was unable to hit a pair against his opponent's K-J.

Kevin will exit this tournament in 7th place, good for $5,202.

Players are now on break

The remaining 7 players are now on a 10 minute break.  When they return, blinds will be 10,000/20,000 with a 3,000 ante.

Scott Leedberg doubles through Richard Milo

On a [Kc][7h][9d] flop, Scott Leedberg moved all in with [Kh][Jc] and Richard Milo went into the tank.  After thinking about the decision, he eventually made the call with [Th][8c].  Richard had to dodge his opponent's open ended straight draw.  The turn [4s] changed nothing, and the [3d] river also missed the draw, so Scott will double up.

8th Place: Tarun Gulati ($4,111)

Tarun (red shirt) is all in against Alfred (grey shirt)

Tarun Gulati was all in preflop holding [As][6d] and was flipping against Alfred Renaud's [2s][2c].  It was a one-legged race after the [2d][Js][Jh] as Alfred flopped a full house.  The [Ks] on the turn secured Tarun's elimination, and the river fell the [2h] giving Alfred quads just for good measure.  Tarun will collect $4,111 for his 8th place finish.

9th Place: Mohd Eid ($3,296)

On a [8c][5c][Jh] flop, Richard Milo moved all in and Mohd Eid called all in for less.  Richard had flopped two pair with his [Jd][8d], which was ahead of Mohd's [Js][Ts].  Mohd would need a ten or running cards to survive, but the turn [4s] and river [4h] left Richard's two pair in front, sending Mohd to the rail in 9th place.  He will earn $3,296 for his efforts.

James Watt doubles through Alfred Renaud

Alfred taps the table as he loses the hand

James Watt was all in preflop holding [Ks][Kh] and was in good shape to double up against Alfred Renaud's [Qh][Qd].  The board ran out a pure [8c][Td][5d][7c][3h] board, and James doubled up to approximately 1,300,000.

Event #2: $1,125 Prize Pool & Payouts

A total of 143 entrants showed up for Event #2: $1,125 NLH, creating a prize pool of $148,005.  The top 15 players will make the money, with a mincash worth $2,426.  Here are the full payouts:

10th-12th: $2,943
13th-15th: $2,426

10th Place: James Morris ($2,617)

James Morris has been eliminated when he got all in with pocket sevens against his opponent's ace queen.  The flop was a fairly safe 9-6-5, but the ace on the turn left James drawing to a six outer for a straight or a set.  The river was a blank, and James headed to the payout desk to collect his $2,617 for his 10th place finish.

Dena Pearlman has been elimianted

On a [8s][5h][4h] flop, action was checked to Dena Pearlman who put out a bet.  Her lone opponent check raised all in, having Dena covered.  Dena eventually made the call for her tournament life and was shown the bad news, as her opponent had flopped a straight.  Dena would need runner runner to improve her A-8 to a full house or quads.  The [6s] fell on the turn, giving Dena chop outs, but the [Jd] landed on the river to send Dena to the rail in 11th place, good for $2,617. 

Event #1 Final Table Reached

Our 11th place finisher was knocked out when his opponent rivered a straight.  After some confusion on whether it was a chop or not, the final 10 players were reached.  Players are redrawing for their seats at the final table and will continue play shortly.
