Heads UpJun 21, '07 Mark Muchnik def. Jared DavisAfter a long session, Mark Muchnik has defeated Jared Davis. Davis and Muchnik batted to a draw for most of the match, but a string of losses in small and medium pots left Davis on the short stack. He eventually shoved preflop with Q  7 and Muchnik called with A2 . The board came A 8333 , and Muchnik's full house was good to take the pot and the match. He is awaiting the winner of the Steve Sarrafzadeh vs. Keith Black match. Currently Black holds a 2-1 chip lead over Sarrafzadeh.Player Tags: Jared Davis, Mark Muchnik One Match RemainsJun 20, '07 The fourth round of heads up play is still going on, with only one heads up match in play. Scotty Nguyen and Mark Muchnik are at a stand still and have gotten into the habit of trading blinds. Muchnik has a slight chip advantage over Nguyen, who has been frustrated for much of the round over how card dead he is. Nguyen has repeatedly folded to any raise and when doing so angrily folds his cards. "I've only gotten one pair this whole time. Pocket nines." said Nguyen.Either Muchnik or Nguyen will complete the 16 player bracket and there is one more round scheduled for tonight. Eight more heads up matches will begin at 10 p.m. and when the dust settles there will be only eight players left in the field. The final eight match ups are as follows: Jason Glass vs. Keith Block Steve Sarrafzadeh vs. Thomas Wahlroos Jared Davis vs. Curt Kohlberg Steve Song vs. Scotty Nguyen/Mark Muchnik Vanessa Selbst vs. Paul Wasicka Shannon Shorr vs. Carmel Petresco Daniel Schrieber vs. Jonah Rogers Toto Leonidas vs. Michael Pickett Player Tags: Scotty Nguyen, Toto Leonidas, Jared Davis, Curt Kohlberg, Mark Muchnik, Paul Wasicka, Jonah Rogers, Keith Block, Shannon Shorr, Thomas Wahlroos, Vanessa Selbst, Steve Song, Jason Glass, Steve Sarrafzadeh |

Don Baruch Wins Event #21 ($264,107)Jun 13, '07 Incredibly passive play continued to be the modus operandi of both Jared Davis and Don Baruch throughout the first hour of heads up play. When offered an option to either check or bet, both by far preferred the later. Indeed, the most common course of action in hand was for the small blind to limp, the big blind to check, for both players to check the flop, and for whoever had a pair to bet the turn, which invariably invoked a fold from the other player. Baruch held a dominating chip lead, approximately 3.5-to-1, but did not use his stack to apply any pressure to Davis. Both players seemed to be waiting for a huge hand to truly ge involved, and it seemed that a cooler situation might once again be what needed in order for any major swing to take place.Davis finally started to stab at some pots on the flop, and though this helped him build his stack slightly, it seems that this shift in gears was the catalyst that brought about the final hand. On the button Davis picked up the A 5 and put in a raise. Baruch quickly went all in with the K Q and with a short stack and alot of his money invested, Davis called. The flop brought the Q 9 9. Davis was drawing real thin with two cards coming, and Baruch all but had the bracelet on his wrist. The Q on the turn ensured Baruch's victory, filling Baruch's full house and leaving Davis drawing dead. Jared Davis finished as the runner up, and took home $149,263, while Baruch took home his first bracelet and $264,107. This final table was an interesting conclusion to a unique event. The WSOP bracelet hopes of two top pros were dashed, and a new name was put down in the poker history books. Thank you for getting you're updates on this World Series of Poker $1,500 No-Limit Shootout event here at Cardplayer.com. Player Tags: Jared Davis, Don Baruch Three Handed No MoreJun 13, '07 Three handed play resumed after the dinner break, but from the first half hour you wouldn't guess that anyone besides Daniel Negreanu was present. Don Baruch and Jared Davis played incredibly passive during the start of the level. They were playing right into Negreanu's well known small-ball gameplan by checking when they are weak and letting him take down uncontested pots with small bets.Zigging When He Should Be Zagging An example of Davis' passive play went as follows. Right after losing a small pot he picked up aces. Hoping to get Negreanu to bet his hand for him, he just called a small preflop raise from Negreanu. The flop came Q 2 2, Davis bet and Negreanu checked behind. The turn brought the K, Davis leads out and Negreanu made the easy fold. By never making raises until Negreanu knows his hand has no chance of winning, Davis and Baruch are only going to get paid off in a cooler situation.The Cooler A must-payoff situation did arise when both Negreanu and Baruch flopped top pair on a board of 9 6 4. Baruch held the 9 8, and bet out. Negreanu called with the 9 7, and though behind, the turn of 7 caught him up in a hurry, giving him two pair. Baruch passively checked, Negreanu bet, and Baruch called. Baruch's gin card, the 5, came on the end, completing his straight. Baruch made a relatively small bet, compared to the size of the pot, and despite the river being a scare card, Negreanu reluctantly called. When the cards were turned up, Negreanu got the bad news and was left dangerously short. Daniel Negreanu Takes 3rd ($101,351) Negreanu limped and Davis pushed all-in. Negreanu went into the tank for a while, pondering a call for his tournament life with A 8. Eventually, he did call, and Davis' revealed the 55. The flop brought the 6 4 2. Negreanu needed running clubs, running straight cards, an eight or an ace. The 7 gave Negreanu an inside straight draw, but he was still in pretty bad shape. The river brought the 7 and Negreanu's run at the bracelet was over, just hours after holding a large chip lead. Negreanu came in 3rd, and received $101,351, but at this point his mind is surely stuck on the fact that he didn't win, despite playing well. Heads up play began after the $264,107 first place prize was laid out on the table during the money presentation. Baruch held a sizable lead over Davis, but play was still very passive despite making it past Negreanu and into heads up play.
