Viktor Blom — 430,000 Average Chip Count: 126,585 Notable Eliminations: Barry Shulman Big Hands: Defending Champion Out There will be a brand new champion this year as the last remaining WSOPE main event winner Barry Shulman has hit the rail. Card Player’s publisher and current 2009 WSOPE main event champion’s stack had taken a bit of a beating after Ludovic Lacay doubled up through him despite Shulman holding top pair and a flush draw on the flop when all the chips went in. Lacay had an inside straight draw and although Shulman made trips on the turn, Lacay made his straight on the river. Shulman had less than 25,000 when he moved all in with A Lacay was soon crippled by Daniel Steinberg, and left shortly after at the hands of Guy Gorelik. Ivey Bleeding Chips Phil Ivey has had a bit of a rough level. In his latest encounter, we caught the action with a board of K Tough Time for Tilly Jennifer Tilly’s stack is another that is dwindling. Tilly bets 4,500 from the hijack and Darren Woods (one of the current chip leaders) raises it to 12,000 from the button. Tilly puts another 20,000 out making it 24,500 and Woods tanks for a few minutes. He then puts out a 100,000 stack of reds while declaring, “All in.” Tilly thinks for a bit and then mucks. Woods is now on over 380,000. It hasn’t helped Tilly that Viktor Blom is now sitting on her left. Many have been at the mercy of Blom throughout the day on the upper level of the Casino at The Empire, and now he is taking on the downstairs area. With 25,000 in the pot and the board showing A J.C.

Level Five: Mizrachi's Bluff FailsJun 09, '10 Blinds: 150-300 with a 75 ante Players Remaining: 97 out of 101 Average Chip Count: 31,237 Tournament Leaderboard: 1. Stephen Chidwick – 74,000 Notable Eliminations: Nikolay Evdakov Players Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Big Hands:
Picking up the action after the draw, Jeffrey Lisandro bet 5,000 and J.C. Tran took a session in the tank. After a long time thinking about it, Tran made the call. Lisandro then turned over 8-6-5-3-2. Tran stared at the hand for a bit just to make sure and then mucked his hand. Lisandro took the pot and was at 23,000 while Tran was getting short with just over 13,000. Elezra One-Ups Mueller Eli Elezra raised to 900 before the draw and Greg Mueller was the only caller. Elezra elected to draw one card and Mueller did the same. Elezra then counted out some chips and threw 2,700 into the middle. Mueller made the call and Elezra turned over 8-7-4-3-2. Mueller showed a 9-low and surrendered the pot to Elezra. Elezra was up around 50,000 while Mueller was at 35,000.
Huck Seed started the action by raising to 900 before the draw. The player in seat 3 then reraised to 3,000. The action folded around to Michael Mizrachi who put in one more raise to 7,000. Seed mucked his hand and seat 3 made the call. Mizrachi stood pat on the draw and seat 3 did the same. Mizrachi then fired 12,000 into the pot and was called down by his opponent. Mizrachi tapped the table and turned over 2 Mizrachi was around 40,000 after the hand. Alioto Bets Out Smith In Battle Of The Blinds Dario Alioto raised to 1,000 from the small blind and Justin Smith made the call. Alioto then drew one card while Smith elected to take two. Alioto then bet 1,500 and Smith played around with his chips for a bit before mucking his hand. Alioto took the pot and was around 30,000 while Smith was at 23,500.
John D’Agostino raised to 1,050 before the draw. The player in seat 4 made the call and everyone else folded. D’Agostino took one card on the draw and his opponent did the same. D’Agostino then led out with 1,850 and seat 4 thought for a bit before raising to 10,000. D’Agostino only had 5,000 left and took a long session in the tank on whether he wanted to put himself at risk. Eventually, he decided to muck and keep his last 5,000 in chips for another hand. Rousso Bets Out Lisandro We picked up this hand on the draw. Jeffrey Lisandro drew one card and Vanessa Rousso elected to stand pat. Rousso then led out with 1,500 and Lisandro mucked his hand rather quickly. Rousso raked in the pot and was at 25,000. Lisandro was at 29,000 after the hand.
Tom Dwan opened the action by raising to 1,050 before the draw. The action folded to Yan Chen who put in a second raise to 3,150. The action was then on Tom Schneider who took a tank session. He then fired out 9,500 in chips. Action folded back around to Dwan who took his own session in the tank before mucking his hand. Chen was next to act and, after a tank session of his own, mucked his hand as well. Schneider took a nice pot before the draw and was around 40,000. Dwan was at 44,000 and Chen was at 24,000.

Tran, Huck Seed, John D'Agostino, Michael Mizrachi, Tom Schneider, Jeffrey Lisandro, Vanessa Rousso, Yan Chen, Tom Dwan, Dario Alioto, Justin Smith Level Four: Nick Binger ReloadsJun 09, '10 Blinds: 100-200 with a 50 ante Players Remaining: 99 out of 101 Notable Eliminations: Players Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Note: Players have gone on a 60-minute dinner break and will return at 10:25 p.m. Big Hands:
Nick Binger raised to 600 before the draw and Doyle Brunson made the call. Action then folded around to David Williams who popped it to 2,000. Binger then moved in for 4,100 more. Brunson had enough and mucked but Williams made the call. Williams then stood pat and Binger drew one card. Williams turned over J-10-7-6-4 and laughed when Binger gasped in frustration. “I threw away a jack,” Binger said in frustration. He showed 9-6-5-3 but mucked the card he was dealt and had to use one the first of his add-ons. Williams was up to 24,000 with one add-on behind. Smith Gets A Boost We picked up the action on this hand after the draw. Justin Smith bet 800 and he was called by his opponent in seat 3. “Show me you 10,” seat 3 said. Smith showed an 8-7-6-4-2, which was good as his opponent tabled 9-8-6-3-2. Smith won a crucial pot as he was at 23,000 with no add-on chips behind.
Picking up the action on the draw, the player in seat 2 took two cards, John Juanda took one card and Max Pescatori took two cards. All three players then checked and Juanda turned over Q-9-7-6-2. “Ship it over!” Juanda comically yelled. “Yes!” Both of his opponents mucked and Juanda threw out a playful fist pump and raked in the pot. He was at 18,000 with two add-ons while Pescatori was at 5,000 with two add-ons. Baxter Nabs A Pot Picking up the action on the draw, the player in seat 4 took two cards and Billy Baxter did the same. J.C. Tran stood pat and then Baxter led out for 1,500. Both of his opponents mucked relatively quickly and Baxter was at 16,000 with two add-ons remaining. Tran was at 11,000 with all three add-ons behind. Left In The Deck:
Daniel Negreanu asked the floor earlier what would happen with his add-ons if he was blinded out and not present. The floor answered that his add-ons would be used one at a time and not all at once. Negreanu’s presence in the tournament has disappeared as he has gone off to play in event no. 18 ($2,000 limit hold’em). He had a relatively short stack and used this time to try and build it up as the field will go on a 60-minute dinner break after this level, giving Negreanu two hours to build up a decent stack in that event or bust.

J.C. Tran Loses Some Chips Anyone remember the early days of last year’s $1,000 no-limit hold’em event? J.C.

Gazes: A Gazes had only one overcard to Palovic’s pocket pair. The flop then came A Left In The Deck: The money bubble has officially burst with the elimination of Kia Hamadani. Everyone in the field is now guaranteed at least $21,365. Hamadani does get the nice consolation prize of being bought in to the 2010 main event and, of course, the fame of being the 2009 bubble boy. Since 13 hands were played during that entire level, the tournament staff has decided to add three minutes per hands played to the clock. That means the players will have 39 minutes of added play before dinner arrives. Let the all in madness begin. Dinner Pushed Back The players have gone on a 20-minute break to color up the blue “500” chips. Most of the field thought their dinner break would be after level 16, but the tournament staff has verified that the field will play one more 120 minute level before they players take their 90 minute dinner break.
