Level 3 Hour 1 Update: Lederer Off To Rocky Start Jul 05, '09 Blinds: 150-300 Chip Counts: 1. Tsai Chen – 93,000 2. Yan Chen – 85,000 3. Frank Kassela – 75,000 4. Justin Bonomo – 75,000 5. Andy Seth – 71,300 6. Jeff Lisandro – 70,500 7. David Singer – 68,000 8. Paul Magriel – 65,100 9. Suzie Lederer – 65,000 10. James Vanderhaar – 63,200 Card Player Chip Counts: Matt Matros – 17,500 Notable Eliminations: Matt Graham Jacobo Fernandez Big Hands: Hawrilenko Takes Another Hit to His Stack A player under-the-gun raised to 700 and got four callers, including Matt Hawrilenko from middle position. The flop was K47 and the original raiser bet 1,800 and Hawrilenko called. The turn was the 10 and the river was the 6. Both players checked the turn and the river and Hawrilenko mucked when he was shown K9 and is down to 9,100 in chips. Dennis Phillips Forces a Fold With about 17,000 in the pot already, Dennis Phillips was heads-up with his opponent with a board that read A4510. Phillips bet 10,500 and his opponent thought for nearly five minutes before mucking AK face up on the table. Phillips mucked his hand, but whether or not he had the best hand, he now has 59,000 in chips Lederer Off To A Rocky Start In Level 3 After a flop of K92, Howard Lederer led out with 2,000 into a pot of 2,500 and his opponent in seat 1 mucked his hand. Lederer was at 23,200 after that hand. Later, Lederer raised to 1,300 from the button and the small blind immediately reraised to 3,500. It was just in time for the ESPN cameras to arrive at Lederer’s table. After a few moments to think, Lederer mucked his hand and he was at 20,000 early in the level. Suharto’s Pair Good Enough Picking up the action on the river, the board showed J42108. Darus Suharto of “November Nine” fame and his opponent checked the action and Suharto showed down 66. It was good as his opponent tabled A6 and Suharto took a pot, moving his stack to 20,000. McEvoy Gets Best Of Miami John John Cernuto and Tom McEvoy saw a flop of AQJ. Both players didn’t like the board and checked. The turn was the Q and Cernuto took a stab at the pot, leading out for 1,200. McEvoy stuck around and the players saw the 9 fall on the river. Cernuto checked and McEvoy did the same behind him. McEvoy showed A6 for two pair and Cernuto mucked. McEvoy was at 17,000 while Cernuto was at 35,000. Luske Check-Raises To Victory After a flop of K87, Marcel Luske was first to act and elected to check. His opponent then fired 600 into a 1,500 pot. Luske then pounced, check-raising to 2,000. His opponent glanced at his cards one last time and threw them into the muck. Luske took the pot and was at 42,000. Danny Wong Flops Two Pair, Gets Little Action Four players limped for 300 preflop and they all saw a flop of 982. The player in seat 9 fired 500 into the pot and Danny Wong raised to 1,600 from the cutoff. The player under the gun was also in the hand and made the call. Everyone else mucked and the 5 fell on the turn. The under the gun player checked and Wong bet again, this time 3,600. His opponent mucked and Wong took the pot after showing 98. He was at 36,000 after the hand. Griffin Takes Another Pot Gavin Griffin raised to 800 from the hijack position and the small blind made the call. The player in seat 3, who had already limped, made the call as well. The flop then fell 1086 and the action was checked to Griffin. He fired 1,700 into the pot and his opponents quickly mucked their hands. Griffin took the pot and was at 38,000. Juanda Tries To Give Opponent Discount Picking up the action after the river, the board read K9878. The action was checked to John Juanda and he bet 3,500. The player in seat 2 mucked his hand and the player in seat 6 was next to act. He reached for his cards to throw them in the muck. “No!” Juanda exclaimed. “1,000,” he said as he took 2,500 away from his original bet. Seat 6 didn’t bite and his hand finally landed in the muck. Juanda scored the pot and was around 50,000. Player Tags: John Juanda, Howard Lederer, Gavin Griffin, Matt Hawrilenko, Danny Wong, Darus Suharto, Dennis Phillips View All Live Updates From This Event
