The action folded around to Baron who made it 197,000 to go. Both blinds and Van Marcus’ cards went into the muck and the action was back to Jetten, who proceeded to go into the tank. After a couple minutes of thinking, Jetten announced “all in” and Baron made the call instantly. Baron turned over AA92 and Jetten had AK105. The flop was 4J7, leaving Jetten in bad shape. The turn was the 3, giving Jetten some hope, and the river completed Jetten’s flush as the 10 fell and Jetten was able to double up. Evan Sofer Eliminated After Richard Austin limped in, Evan Sofer made a pot-sized raise. After everybody else got out of the way, Austin raised enough to put Sofer all in. Sofer made the call and showed KJ109 and Austin showed AA87. Unlike Jetten, Sofer was unable to crack aces, as he was drawing dead to the river and was eliminated in 13th place. He will take home $24,448 for his efforts.

Ralph Perry — 177,000 Average Chip Count: 201,666 Notable Eliminations: Jeff Lisandro Big Hands: Baron’s Big Draw Bricks, Doubles up Van Marcus After taking a three-handed flop of 257, Van Marcus leads out or 27,000. Sorel Mizzi gets out of the way and Isaac Baron asks him how much he has left. After a moment of contemplation, Baron raised to 80,000 and Marcus moves all in and was instantly called by Baron. Van Marcus turns over 22Q5, good for bottom set and had to fade the big draw that Baron showed when he exposed the 64K7. The board bricked off for Baron is it came 10K and Van Marcus doubled up. Ralph Perry Punishes Limpers to Take Down Pot After five players limped in, it was up to Ralph Perry in the big blind. Perry took his option and decided to make it 30,000. Sorel Mizzi, after limping in under the gun, tanked for a few moments before making the call. Isaac Baron mucked, as did Fabrice Soulier, and the small blind decided to make the call. The flop came down K37 and the small blind checked. Perry cut out some chips and bet out 75,000. Sorel Mizzi pondered his options for a minute or so before finally releasing his hand, and the small blind quickly mucked, allowing Perry to rake the pot. Cliff Josephy Tangles With Jesper Hougaard Cliff Josephy and Jesper Hougaard seem to be mixing it up a fair amount. On a flop of A103, Hougaard bet out and is called by Josephy. The turn is the 5 and Hougaard bet 35,000, which is once again called by Josephy. The river is the J and Hougaard fired one last bullet, this time 85,000. Josephy thought for a few moments before calling. Hougaard announced “aces up” and Josephy said “No good, I have a straight,” as he tabled the QJK2, which ironically was good for a flush. A few hands later, on a flop of K109, after Hougaard checked, Josephy bet 35,000. Hougaard called and the third party got out of the way. The 9 fell on the turn and both players checked. The 2 was the river card and Hougaard checked again. Josephy bet 40,000 and was called by Hougaard. Josephy just mucked his cards when he was called and Hougaard tabled the QJK2, which was good for a straight. Left In The Deck: During the color-up period, David “Devilfish” Ulliott took the microphone that the tournament directors use and began singing “All Shook Up.” Player Tags: Cliff Josephy, Isaac Baron, Sorel Mizzi, Jesper Hougaard Level 5 Update: Isaac Baron Wins Huge Pot Jun 17, '09 Blinds: 250-500 Players Remaining: 225 out of 362 Chip Counts: 1.

Tran Big Hands: Isaac Baron Wins Huge Pot On a board of J728, a player bet 8,000 into Isaac Baron on the button. Baron asked him for a count and then moved all-in for about 35,000 total. Baron’s opponent went into the tank and said, “I have eight outs.” He eventually called with his correct read on the situation and tabled the AK1010 for a pair of tens and flush draw. Baron turned over the nuts of Q1079 and needed to dodge a diamond to win a massive pot. The J hit the river and Baron is now up to 80,000 in chips. Yevgeniy Timoshenko Eliminated On a board of Q107, action was checked to Yevgeniy Timoshenko who bet 2,250. The big blind reraised to 8,500 and Nam Le folded from under-the-gun. Timoshenko went into the tank before finally committing the rest of his chips. The reigning WPT Championship winner tabled the AQ8J, while his opponent tabled the Q10A9. Timoshenko was behind against his opponents two pair but had outs for a straight. The turn was a disaster as the Q fell, eliminating all of Timoshenko’s straight draws. Timoshenko could only hope for a jack for the win or chop against his opponent’s full house with an ace. The 4 bricked on the river and Timoshenko was eliminated.

Dan Hindin — 190,000 Average Chip Count: 453,750 Notable Eliminations: Evan Sofer Big Hands: Peter Jetten Cracks Aces to Double Through Isaac Baron After a Van Marcus limp, Peter Jetten raised to 54,000. The action folded around to Baron who made it 197,000 to go. Both blinds and Van Marcus’ cards went into the muck and the action was back to Jetten, who proceeded to go into the tank. After a couple minutes of thinking, Jetten announced “all in” and Baron made the call instantly. Baron turned over AA92 and Jetten had AK105. The flop was 4J7, leaving Jetten in bad shape. The turn was the 3, giving Jetten some hope, and the river completed Jetten’s flush as the 10 fell and Jetten was able to double up. Evan Sofer Eliminated After Richard Austin limped in, Evan Sofer made a pot-sized raise. After everybody else got out of the way, Austin raised enough to put Sofer all in. Sofer made the call and showed KJ109 and Austin showed AA87. Unlike Jetten, Sofer was unable to crack aces, as he was drawing dead to the river and was eliminated in 13th place. He will take home $24,448 for his efforts.

Van Marcus — 200,000 9. Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy — 195,000 10. Ralph Perry — 177,000 Average Chip Count: 201,666 Notable Eliminations: Jeff Lisandro Big Hands: Baron’s Big Draw Bricks, Doubles up Van Marcus After taking a three-handed flop of 257, Van Marcus leads out or 27,000. Sorel Mizzi gets out of the way and Isaac Baron asks him how much he has left. After a moment of contemplation, Baron raised to 80,000 and Marcus moves all in and was instantly called by Baron. Van Marcus turns over 22Q5, good for bottom set and had to fade the big draw that Baron showed when he exposed the 64K7. The board bricked off for Baron is it came 10K and Van Marcus doubled up. Ralph Perry Punishes Limpers to Take Down Pot After five players limped in, it was up to Ralph Perry in the big blind. Perry took his option and decided to make it 30,000. Sorel Mizzi, after limping in under the gun, tanked for a few moments before making the call. Isaac Baron mucked, as did Fabrice Soulier, and the small blind decided to make the call. The flop came down K37 and the small blind checked. Perry cut out some chips and bet out 75,000. Sorel Mizzi pondered his options for a minute or so before finally releasing his hand, and the small blind quickly mucked, allowing Perry to rake the pot. Cliff Josephy Tangles With Jesper Hougaard Cliff Josephy and Jesper Hougaard seem to be mixing it up a fair amount. On a flop of A103, Hougaard bet out and is called by Josephy. The turn is the 5 and Hougaard bet 35,000, which is once again called by Josephy. The river is the J and Hougaard fired one last bullet, this time 85,000. Josephy thought for a few moments before calling. Hougaard announced “aces up” and Josephy said “No good, I have a straight,” as he tabled the QJK2, which ironically was good for a flush. A few hands later, on a flop of K109, after Hougaard checked, Josephy bet 35,000. Hougaard called and the third party got out of the way. The 9 fell on the turn and both players checked. The 2 was the river card and Hougaard checked again. Josephy bet 40,000 and was called by Hougaard. Josephy just mucked his cards when he was called and Hougaard tabled the QJK2, which was good for a straight. Left In The Deck: During the color-up period, David “Devilfish” Ulliott took the microphone that the tournament directors use and began singing “All Shook Up.” Player Tags: Cliff Josephy, Isaac Baron, Sorel Mizzi, Jesper Hougaard Level 5 Update: Isaac Baron Wins Huge Pot Jun 17, '09 Blinds: 250-500 Players Remaining: 225 out of 362 Chip Counts: 1.

Daniel Negreanu – 28,000 9. Barry Greenstein – 26,000 10. Michael Binger – 24,000 Average Chip Count: 24,200 Notable Eliminations: Erik Seidel J.C. Tran Big Hands: Isaac Baron Wins Huge Pot On a board of J728, a player bet 8,000 into Isaac Baron on the button. Baron asked him for a count and then moved all-in for about 35,000 total. Baron’s opponent went into the tank and said, “I have eight outs.” He eventually called with his correct read on the situation and tabled the AK1010 for a pair of tens and flush draw. Baron turned over the nuts of Q1079 and needed to dodge a diamond to win a massive pot. The J hit the river and Baron is now up to 80,000 in chips. Yevgeniy Timoshenko Eliminated On a board of Q107, action was checked to Yevgeniy Timoshenko who bet 2,250. The big blind reraised to 8,500 and Nam Le folded from under-the-gun. Timoshenko went into the tank before finally committing the rest of his chips. The reigning WPT Championship winner tabled the AQ8J, while his opponent tabled the Q10A9. Timoshenko was behind against his opponents two pair but had outs for a straight. The turn was a disaster as the Q fell, eliminating all of Timoshenko’s straight draws. Timoshenko could only hope for a jack for the win or chop against his opponent’s full house with an ace. The 4 bricked on the river and Timoshenko was eliminated.

Level 4 Update: Another Pro Eliminated With a Flush May 31, '09 Blinds: 75-150 Players Remaining: 2,000 out of 3,021 Notable Eliminations: David Chiu David Daneshgar Isaac Baron T.J. Cloutier Joe Awada Big Hands: David Chiu Eliminated David Chiu raised pre-flop with the 103 and was called by the big blind who held the K7. The flop came out ten high with two spades, putting Chiu out in front with top pair and a flush draw. However, his opponent with a higher flush draw, called Chiu’s all-in bet of just under 10 big blinds (1,450) and hit the spade on the turn. Both players nailed their flush, but Chiu was drawing dead for the river and was sent home on day 1. Chiu continues the trend of big name pros knocked out of the event holding a flush. *Paul Darden Doubles Up* Paul Darden gets it all-in with AK on a board of AA297. Not sure when the money got in, but Darden is up over 4,000 after this hand. *Shawn Sheikhan Doubles up* The player in seat 2 raises to 400 from middle position and Shawn Sheikhan calls from the small blind. The flop comes AQ3, seat 2 bets 700 and Sheikhan calls. The river is the 3, and seat 2 bets enough to put Sheikhan all-in. Sheikhan calls all-in for 675 and turns over AA for top set. His opponent shows AK for top pair and ships the pot. Sheikhan doubles up to 3,500 this hand. Daniel Negreanu Moves All-in After min-raising to 300 pre-flop, Daniel Negreanu was re-raised to 750 by an opponent in seat 9. Negreanu called and both players saw a flop of 247. Negreanu checked and his opponent bet 1,000. Negreanu contemplated briefly before moving all in for 1,575 total, 575 more. His opponent went into the tank for minutes before eventually folding pocket tens face up. Negreanu said, “I thought you were calling,” before mucking his cards. Negreanu is up to 4,300 in chips. Dario Minieri Doubles Up From the button, Dario Minieri moved all-in for 2,075 with K9 and was called by the 33 of seat 8. The flop came out 457 and Minieri was in bad shape, as his opponent added a gut-shot straight draw to go along with his pocket pair. The Q hit the turn and the Italian pro was down to his last card. The 9 hit the river, giving the bracelet winner a pair of nines to double up to 4,150. Left In The Deck The players are on a 20 minute break.
