That will allow players to register as late as day 2. Last year, Tommy Vedes bested a field of 275 en route to a $1,218,225 payday. Vedes defeated a stacked final table that included Shawn Cunix, Jason Burt, Freddy Deeb, Craig Crivello and Jason Lavallee. The tournament action down at the Fontana Lounge has already seen its share of notable winners including November Nine member Matt Jarvis, John Cernuto, and James Van Alstyne. Card Player’s own Barry and Jeff Shulman both made the final table of the $1,000 limit hold’em event, finishing in fifth and third place respectively. John Phan took that event down after chopping with Joe Brandenburg.

Level 16 Update: In The MoneyJun 11, '10 Blinds: 2,000-4,000 with a 1,000 ante Players Remaining: 14 out of 101 Average Chip Count: 216,428 Card Player Chip Counts: Daniel Negreanu – 130,000 Tournament Leaderboard: 1. David Baker – 670,000 Notable Eliminations: Tommy Vedes Big Hands:
George Danzer opened for 10,500 from the cutoff and David Baker raised to 35,000 from the button. Tommy Vedes then push all of his chips in for 105,400 total and Baker made the call after Danzer folded. Vedes took one card and Baker stood pat. Baker showed the 10-8-7-5-4 and Vedes was drawing with his 8-6-5-3, but hit a jack to bust out of the tournament. Baker increases his chip lead and now has 505,000. Seidel Bests Greenstein Erik Seidel raised to 11,000 from the cutoff and Barry Greenstein moved all-in for 51,000 from the big blind. Seidel made the call and both players stood pat. Seidel showed the 9-6-5-4-2 and bested Greenstein’s 10-low to take the pot and increase his stack to 218,000. Stephen chidwick Eliminated Stephen Chidwick was severely shortstacked and was all-in pre-draw against Peter Gould. Both players drew one, but even though Gould could only make an ace-low, Chidwick paired up to send him to the rail.
Daniel Negreanu has been a short stack most of the day and has been wearing out the felt to stay alive. In his most recent all-in, Eric Kesselman opened for 12,000 under-the-gun and Negreanu moved in for 44,000. Kesselman thought for a bit and then called. Both players drew one card. Negreanu tabled the 7-5-4-2 and Kesselman showed the 9-5-3-2. Kesselman paired his 3 and Negreanu called for a paint card. He got his wish as he hit a king to get back up near the 100,000 mark. Kesselman is down to 152,000. Anton Allemann Eliminated, Bubble Begins David Baker raised to 13,000 from the button and Anton Allemann and Andy Bloch called from the blinds. All three players drew one card. Allemann bet 40,000, Bloch folded and Baker raised to 320,000 which was much more than what Allemann had. Allemann called off his last 100,000 and tabled his 8-6-4-3-2. Baker showed his 7-6-4-3-2 and knocked Allemann out in 16th place. With just 15 players left, we are now offcially on the bubble and play will be hand-for-hand until one player is eliminated. Negreanu Makes a Wheel to Double Up John Juanda raised to 11,000 under-the-gun and Daniel Negreanu moved all in for 64,500. Juanda made the call and stood pat. Negreanu drew one and showed the 7-5-4-2 and needed to improve against Juanda’s 9-8-6-4-3. Negreanu took a few moments to squeeze out his river card, which was a 3 to give him the wheel and the pot to double up to almost 130,000. Hilderbrand Busts, Pops the Bubble Par Hilderbrand raised to 11,500 from the cutoff and Doug Booth made it 31,500 from the button. After the blinds folded, Hilderbrand pushed all-in for 40,000 more and Booth called. “We are in the money now,” Both said as he showed the 7-5-4-3-2, good for the wheel and the pot.
