James Campbell Surges Up The Leaderboard

James Campbell called the all in bet from Paul Volpe and found that his pocket tens were way ahead of pocket eights.

The board offered no help for the man known as paulgees and Campbell raked in the pot to move to 65,000 in chips.

Michael Benvenuti Gets Back To Even

On a board reading 10822, Michael Benvenuti found a way to get all in holding JJ. His opponent made the call with A-10, but failed to catch up.

Benvenuti is now sitting with 33,000, just over the starting stack.

Jason Mercier Applies All In Pressure

The hijack raised to 1,000 and Jason Mercier reraised to 2,475 from the cutoff. The hijack called and the flop fell J95.

The hijack led for 6,200, leaving himself with just 22,000 behind. Mercier then moved all in and took the pot when his opponent folded.

The Team PokerStars Pro now has 39,000 in chips.

Shaun Deeb Busts With Trips

On a board reading AJ636, Shaun Deeb moved all in over the top of a 6,000 bet from Vincente Garcia.

Garcia snap called and showed pocket threes for the boat, while Deeb flashed a six before gathering his stuff to head out the door.

Annette Obrestad Gets Bad Beat By Isaac Haxton

Annette Obrestad was all in and ahead with pocket kings against the AQ of Isaac Haxton.

Unfortunately, the dealer rolled out a board of 84253, giving Haxton a straight and the winning hand.

James "P0KERPR0" Campbell Doubles Into Chip Lead

Apr 13, '08

James "P0KERPR0" Campbell has picked up yet another big pot. On a board of K Q 9, he got all of his chips in the middle versus an opponent who had him covered, and that's saying something, since he was among the chip leaders before the hand. Campbell turned over pocket nines for a set, but his opponent held J 10 for a flopped straight. Campbell needed help to avoid going from a big stack to busto early on. The turn was the 3, and the river was the 3, pairing the board to give Campbell a full house. Campbell raked in the huge pot, and he now sits with about 58,000.

James 'P0KERPR0' Campbell Doubles Up Early

Apr 12, '08

James "P0KERPR0" Campbell has already doubled up here at the PokerStars.com EPT Grand Final. David "DumbHick" Hickman, who is sitting right next to Campbell and whose hometown is five miles from Campbell's, took Card Player aside during the recent break to relate the hand to us.

Campbell had pocket aces and his opponent had pocket kings. After heavy betting preflop, the flop came 10 high. Campbell's opponent bet and he called. The turn paired the board, and Campbell and his opponent ended up getting all in after some bets and raises. The turn bricked out, and Campbell's aces held up to put him near 30,000 in chips.

Hickman turned to Campbell and said, "It must be nice ..."

Numbers Game

Jun 07, '07

The official numbers have been anmounced.  There were a total of 1,427 players entered into today’s tournament creating a total prize pool of $1,947,855.  120 players will finish in the money, with the 120^th place finisher receiving $2,143, and 1^st place receiving $481,698.

Tables have been breaking liberally.  As it is a short-handed event, dealers have been instructed to continue to deal if they have 4 or 5 players, halting deal only if they hit 3. 

Shawn Sheikhan returned to his table after serving his first penalty of the World Series.  He celebrated by taking advantage of the newer allowances involving the F-bomb, as he screamed the curse to the heavens, but as it was directed towards no one, he’s allowed to.

Robert Williamson III has been enjoying a solid start so far.  With the board reading K73A, Williamson shipped all his chips in the middle.  His opponent called, Williamson showed K7, while his opponent showed AQ.  The river 9 gave Williamson the pot and doubled him up. 

Theo Tran has also been moving a lot of chips early on.  He is sitting with about $13,000 in chips.  Unfortunately today’s Pro Bloggers Nam Le and James Campbell have been eliminated.

Stay tuned to Card Player for more updates
