Level 4 Hour 2 Update: Ivan Demidov, Paul Snead Eliminated Jul 06, '09 Blinds: 150-300 with a 25 ante Chip Counts: 1. Dutch Boyd – 133,000 2. Blair Hinkle – 120,800 3. Chad Brown – 105,000 4. Adam Schoenfeld – 103,200 5. Prahlad Friedman – 92,000 6. Josh Arieh – 82,500 7. Phil Ivey – 82,000 8. John Racener – 79,000 9. Matthew Hilger – 68,000 10. Jeff Shulman – 56,000 Card Player Chip Counts: Matthew Hilger – 68,000 Notable Eliminations: Ivan Demidov Paul Snead Grant Hinkle Mimi Tran Jared Hamby Big Hands *Ivan Demidov Eliminated* The player on the button raises to 1,200, Ivan Demidov reraises to 5,450, Dwayne Stacey calls from the big blind and the player on the button folds his hand. The flop comes 1065, Demidov moves all in for 225 and Stacey calls. Demidov: 76 Stacey: 66 The case six flops, giving Demidov middle pair and Stacey middle set. The turn and river are the 5 and the 5, no help to last year’s runner-up who is now eliminated from the tournament. Paul Snead Eliminated On the flop of 1097 Paul Snead was all in with an unknown player versus John Racener. Their cards: Racener: K2 Snead: 106 Unknown: QJ The 6 fell on the turn, giving Racener his king-high flush. Snead turned two pair and had four outs to make a full house while the unknown player was drawing dead. However, the 4 hit the river and Snead was eliminated. Racener is now at 79,000 Phil Ivey Eliminates an Opponent Phil Ivey called the 8,825 chip all in of Ketul Nathwani. Ivey tabled the AQ while Ketul exposed the AJ. The board ran out 863K9, as Ivey took the pot and is up to 82,000. Cornel Cimpan Folds to All In On a board of 86658, Cornel Cimpan called a 3,500 bet from a player in middle position. The 10 fell on the river and the same player bet all in for 15,500. Cimpan went into the tank before finally mucking. The recent winner of the L.A. Poker Classic is at 60,000 in chips. *Shawn Cunix Can’t Lose* On a flop of 876, the player in the small blind bets 1,500, the player in seat 3 calls and the dealer burns and turns the 6. Shawn Cunix objects, calling for a floorperson as the turn card was dealt before he was able to act. The floorman comes over and makes the ruling. The turn card is pulled back, and Cunix raises all in for a total of 10,000 from the button. The small blind tanks for several minutes before releasing the hand. Seat 3 also folds as Cunix rakes the pot, revealing 96 for the open-ended straight flush draw. Glen Chorny Wins Pot by Limping In Glen Chorny was the beneficiary of perhaps the worst possible dealer miscue. Chorny limped in for 300 and action was folded around to a player in the cutoff who raised the 800. Both blinds folded and the dealer took the cutoff’s hand and mixed the cards together, leaving Chorny with his hand. Clearly not realizing Chorny had limped in, the dealer started moving the pot over to the cutoff. When everyone realized what she was doing, she stopped and a floor person was called over. About five minutes later, after much debating and recounting of the mistake, the floor staff ruled that Chorny wins the pot since he was the only one left with a live hand after the dealer mixed the raiser’s hand in with the deck. Chorny offered to just take back his 300 and let the cutoff take his raise back and the rest of the pot, but Chorny was awarded the pot which included the 800 raise from the cutoff. The player who had 800 chips taken by the dealer looked visibly upset. The same type of ruling would happen regardless of the bet size. Left in the Deck: The players are currently on a 20 minute break.
