Mike Leah

Big Hands:

Jason Somerville Crosses the 900,000 Mark

Jason Somerville raised on the button and the big blind reraised an additional 30,000. Somerville set him all in with pocket sevens and the big blinds called with KQ.

The board came Q96108 and Somerville’s backdoor straight took it down to send the opponent to the rail and put his stack at 915,000.

Adam Geyer Busts to Dee Luong

Adam Geyer (pictured right) raised to 14,000 and Dee Luong reraised and Geyer announced all in. Luong called with AK and was racing against Geyer’s pocket queens.

The board came down 822A5 and Luong’s pair of aces sent Geyer to the rail short of the money. Luong now has 800,000, well above her husband Prahlad Friedman who is still alive in this tournament.

Corwin Cole Chips Up Big

During the level, Corwin Cole (pictured left) busted a player with set over set to bring his stack to a very impressive 760,000.

Brandon Cantu Busts POY Candidate Mike Leah

On a flop of Js10h8s, Brandon Cantu was all in and covering Mike Leah, who made the call with Jd10d. Cantu showed KsQh for the up and down straight draw and it hit when the turn and river came 9h4c.

Cantu now sits with 545,000.

Notable Eliminations:

Beth Shak
Adam Weinraub

Hand of the Level:

Alexandre Gomes Wins Massive Pot

The most recent WPT champion, Alexandre Gomes, is doing his best to go back-to-back. On a board reading AQ743, Gomes bet 15,000 and the cutoff moved all in.

The big blind tanked for a bit before folding and Gomes insta-called with 65 for the nut straight. The cutoff showed 74 for two pair, not realizing he had the second best hand. After being informed, he made the slow walk out of the event center and Gomes moved his stack to a very healthy 94,000.

Level Summary:

About two tables dropped during a relatively quiet fourth level. The blinds are finally starting to pick up, but the players haven’t quite responded and for the most part, the notables in today’s field held strong.

Marco Johnson and Alexandre Gomes share the lead, but both Toto Leonidas and Nick Schulman are riding surges that see them both in the top five of the chip counts.

Ironically, the top three stacks in the room have a history together. Gomes famously sucked out on Johnson at the WSOP, giving Gomes his first bracelet. At the 2009 PokerStars Carribbean Adventure, Gomes sucked out on Adam Geyer in a monster pot that catapulted him to the final table, where he finished fourth.

Mikael Thuritz
Eli Elezra
Jennifer Harman
Gavin Smith
Jeff Garza

Big Hands:

Jason Mercier Takes Out Adam Geyer

Antonio Esfandiari raised to 6,400 from the cutoff and Adam Geyer reraised to 17,000 on the button. The action moved to Jason Mercier who reraised from the small blind. Esfandiari folded and Geyer reluctantly moved in for his last 30,000 or so. Mercier flipped up pocket aces and Geyer showed down pocket queens.

The board ran out K10542 giving no help to the three-time FTOPS champion and Geyer was eliminated. Mercier now has 255,000 in chips.

David Baker Chips Up

On a board reading 952A Isaac Haxton bet 15,000. David “WhooooKidd” Baker stared his opponent down and decided to make the call. The river was the J and Haxton went into the tank. After about three minutes of dead silence, he tapped the table and Baker followed suit. Haxton turned over 76 for a missed straight draw and Baker showed K9 to take the pot with third pair. Baker now has 247,000 in chips.

Andy Bloch Getting Picked on by Alec Torelli

After losing a big pot earlier to Torelli, Bloch checked a board showing J1047k. Torelli launched a bet of 25,000 and Bloch went into a massive tank session. After almost 10 minutes, Bloch made the call. Torelli flipped over KJ for top two pair. Bloch mucked and his stack dwindled to 17,000. Torelli was at 250,000.

A few hands later, Bloch doubled up with pocket kings against his opponent’s ace-queen.

Chris Moore Doubles Through Andy Black

Andy Black raised to 6,000 from the hijack. Chris Moore was next to act and move in for his last 30,000. Black talked to Moore for a bit before making the call and showing 55. More showed AJ and the board ran out J610Q4, giving Moore top pair and doubling him up to 60,000. Black took a slight hit, leaving his stack at 350,000.

“Action” Jeff Garza Sent Home By Phil Galfond

Jeff Garza was all in and called holding A-Q but was dominated by Phil Galfond’s superior A-K. The board rolled out nine high offering no help to the recently turned 21 Garza. Galfond now has a stack of 320,000.

Phil Hellmuth Crippled By Alan “The Usher” Sass

Alan Sass raised to 5,500 and Phil Hellmuth reraised to 15,000 directly behind him. Sass made the call and the flop came out 654. Sass led into Hellmuth for 19,400 and Hellmuth called.

The turn was the K and Sass checked. Hellmuth fired in a bet of 35,000 and Sass called. The river was the Q and Hellmuth moved all in for 183,000, which had Sass covered by about 37,000. Sass called showing K9 and Hellmuth mucked his hand.

After the hand, Hellmuth pulled one of our reporters aside to admit that he held A-7 for a busted open-ended straight draw. “I’d get penalized for saying this at the table, but I just wanted to let it be known that the most horrible players in the world usually beat me,” said Hellmuth.

The hand drew further attention when it was revealed that the dealer had miscounted the all-in stacks, giving Sass some more of Hellmuth chips. Hellmuth, clearly upset, responded with, “What are you trying to give it all to him?”

Not quite, as Hellmuth still has about 37,000 in chips.

Russell Rosenblum Doubles Up

Russell Rosenblum found himself and his stack of about 100,000 all in preflop holding pocket kings against the pocket jacks of Philippe Rouas. The kings held and Rosenblum safely doubled up to about 210,000.

Adam Geyer Gets Unlucky Again

Jan 09, '09

Alexandre Gomes raised to 102,000 on the button and Adam Geyer reraised to 350,000 from the small blind. After some thought, Gomes made the call.

The flop came down 1065 and Geyer continued with a huge bet of 625,000.

After considering his options, Gomes then moved all in for 1,479,000. Geyer instantly called with pocket jacks for the overpair and seemed stunned to see Gomes turn over A5, despite having little to no fold equity.

The turn was the 8 and Gomes sat motionless, awaiting his fate.

The river was the... A! and Gomes jumped out of his seat, high-fiving his buddies who had jumped over the rail to celebrate.

Geyer, despite the uproar at his expense, remained calm and simply paid off the bet, leaving him with just 888,000 in chips.

Gomes, who was just one card away from elimination, is now the chip leader with 3.9 million. Easy game.
