$1,500 No-Limit Hold'em - Day 2 - Level 19 Recap Jul 01, '08 Blinds: 8,000-16,000 Players Left: 14 of 2,693 Chip Leaders: Matthew Matros - 1,025,000 Corwin Cole - 895,000 Daniel Heimiller - 830,000 Farzad Rouhani - 720,000 Jeffery Courtney - 630,000 Gary Biggar - 623,000 Andrey Zaichenko - 620,000 Voitto Rintala - 530,000 Todd Hanks - 460,000 David Daneshgar - 420,000 Average Stack: 577,075 Eliminations: 15^th – Cody Slaubaugh 16^th – Lars Sundberg 17^th – Daniel Hughes 18^th – Eric Jolly 19^th – Petter Frannson 20^th – Richard Kirsch Big Hands and Storylines: Corwin, For The Win The players redrew at 18 players, and despite the full 9-handed tables in play, table 1 was still packed with action. Elliot Smith raised to 40,000 from middle position and Scott Sitron, on his left, raised to 110,000. Corwin Cole, after a moment’s thought, moved all-in for 328,000. Eric Jolly then called all-in. Smith folded and Sitron called, having everyone covered. The three showed their hands: Scott Sitron: AA Corwin Cole: QQ Eric Jolly: JJ The flop came 862 and nothing had changed. The turn came K, Sitron was one card away from a massive chip advantage at the table, but the river changed that. The river was the Q and Corwin Cole took down the pot, though you would never know it by his expression. He sat stone-faced, moving only to rake in the monster pot. After the hand, Cole had 950,000, Sitron had 250,000, and Jolly was eliminated... which nobody could deny. Daniel Hughes Eliminated Daniel Hughes moved all-in for 145,000 from late position. Andrey Zaichenko moved all-in behind him and everybody else folded. Hughes showed A10 and Zaichenko had QQ. The flop came Q82 and Hughes was drawing almost dead. The 10 sealed his fate and he was eliminated in 17^th place. Zaichenko Gives Some Back Action folded around to Gary Biggar in the small blind and he shoved all-in for about 123,000. Zaichenko looked down at his cards in the big blind and he opted to call. The two turned over: Biggar: A8 Zaichenko: K7 The flop helped out Biggar a lot: A97. The turn, though, was the 10, giving Zaichenko an open-ended straight draw. The river was the blank of all blanks – the 2 – and Biggar doubled up to 250,000. Zaichenko still has about 900,000.

Garvin moved all-in for about 180,000. Heimiller insta-called and flipped up AA. Garvin showed 99. The board came 10758K and Garvin was eliminated. Heimiller grew his stack to an even more impressive 1,100,000. Biggar is Better; Mimi Tran Eliminated Gary Biggar and Mimi Tran, both short-stacked, got all-in pre-flop. Biggar had Tran dominated with his AQ going against her KQ. The flop came 1044 and the turn was the 6. Going to the river, Tran had only 3 outs, and when the 4 peeled off, her tournament was over. After winning the hand Biggar was up to 175,000. Set Over Set Propels Rouhani Farzad Rouhani raised to 36,000 from early position and Andriy Zaichenko made the call from the cutoff. The two saw a flop of 985. Rouhani led out for 32,000 and Zaichenko raised to 100,000. Undeterred by this show of strength, Rouhani moved all-in and was snap-called by Zaichenko. The two turned over their hands: Rouhani: 99 Zaichenko: 55 Zaichenko did not make quads and he took a big hit, now at 750,000. Rouhani’s double up gives him 600,000.

It was 49,000 more to Tran and she analyzed her decision. After about 50 seconds of thought, she made the call and the two turned up their cards: Sundberg: 88 Tran: AQ The board came 10975J and Sundberg won the hand with a jack-high straight. Sundberg now has 170,000 while Tran is languishing with 100,000. Matros Keeps Accumulating Twice during recent rounds, players have attempted to steal the blinds of Matt Matros. On both occasions Matros put in a big raise and forced the players to lay down their hands. Matt Matros did play a hand that went to showdown though. Anders Fraulund raised to 30,000 and this time Matros opted to call in the big blind. Matros checked the 965 flop and called a 45,000 bet from Fraulund. Both players checked when the 6 paired the board. The river was the 7 and Matros led out for 90,000. Fraulund called instantly and when Matros had confirmed this with the dealer he showed A6 for turned trips. Fraulund showed K9 and said, “Good hand.” Matros has about 700,000. Fraulund is down to 160,000. Tim Barchie Eliminated By Cody Slaubaugh Tim Barchie moved all-in from early position and action folded around to Cody “thugmoneymkr” Slaubaugh in the small blind. It was 80,000 more to call for him. Instead of simply calling, he shoved over the raise for about 300,000. The big blind folded and the two showed their hands: Barchie: A4 Slaubaugh: A6 The flop was perfect for Slaugbaugh: J106. Barchie could not catch up and he was eliminated. Slaubaugh now has 410,000. Player Tags: Farzad Rouhani, Mimi Tran, Matthew Matros, Richard Kirsch, Joseph Neiman, Cody Slaubaugh, Voitto Rintala, Scott Sitron, Andrey Zaichenko, Elliot Smith, Corwin Cole, Tim Barchie, Anders Fraulund $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em - Day 2 - Level 16 Jul 01, '08 Note: The players are now on a 20 minute break Blinds: 4,000-8,000 Players Left: 35 of 2,693 Chip Leaders: Daniel Heimiller - 610,000 Scott Sitron - 570,000 Matthew Matros - 550,000 Andrey Zaichenko - 430,000 Corwin Cole - 404,000 Elliot Smith - 380,000 Cody Slaubaugh - 355,000 Joachim Berg-Jensen - 350,000 Richard Kirsch - 340,000 Anders Fraulund - 330,000 Average Stack: 230,825 Eliminations: Alvin Zeidenfeld Gary Marcum Vanessa Rousso Big Hands and Storylines: Matros and Heimiller Butt Heads Two of the bigger stacks in the tournament, Matt Matros and Dan Heimiller, played a fairly large pot in the last level. Action folded around to Matros in the small blind and he raised it to 24,000. Dan Heimiller made a fairly quick call. The flop ran off 988 and Matros led out with a bet of 35,000. Heimiller made another quick call. Matros checked on the 10 turn and Heimiller bet 80,000. Matros stacked a column of orange chips, pulled them back in toward his stack, and declared himself all-in. Heimiller was now stuck. He stared at the board, talking to himself, for nearly 7 minutes before Matros called the clock on him. The floorwoman came over and informed Heimiller that he had one minute to make a decision and at the end of the one minute his hand would be ruled dead. No sooner than she had finished her speech, Heimiller folded his hand. After this confrontation, Matros is up to 520,000. Heimiller would be down to 455,000 but later chipped up to 610,000 to become chip leader. Cardno Not Card Dead Alvin Zeidenfeld, action having folded to him, moved all-in from the button for 63,500. Mimi Tran folded and Martin Cardno made a quick call. Zeidenfeld showed QJ and Cardno had A8. The board – K7793 – changed nothing, and Cardno won the hand. After a few moments of counting by the dealer (with some help by Mimi Tran), it was decided that Cardno had more chips and Zeidenfeld was eliminated. Cardno now has 140,000. Garvin Stomps, Eliminates Marcum Gary Marcum moved all-in from middle position for 70,000 and Andrew Garvin made a quick call after action folded around to him. Marcum, without much confidence, showed A8. His pessimism was warranted, however, as Garvin showed AA. There would be no miracle for Marcum as the board rolled out Q549A. Marcum was covered by a few thousand, and he was eliminated. After the hand Garvin was up to 140,000.

Jun 07, '08	2008 39th Annual World Series of Poker	Event 11 - No-Limit Hold'em Shootout	2	+
No Limit Hold 'Em Shootout - Day 2- Hour Five Jun 07, '08 Blinds: 3,000-6,000 ante 500 Eliminations This Round: Richard Kirsch, Eugene Katchalov Table Winners Thus Far: Phil Tom, Greg Mueller, Young Leo Walpert Remaining Tables: Just three heads up matches remain: John Juanda vs. Tim West Sinous Jamshedi vs. Elton Beebe Tom Roupe vs. John Murphy Big Hands: Kirsch, who was beating Tom handily early, saw the momentum swing the opposite way and never could recover. After he bet and was raised, he finally got his money all in on a board of J82, about 45,000 more. Tom sat there for about five minutes, before calling a clock--on Kirsch! "I've been all in for twenty five minutes," replied Kirsch. Tom sheepishly called, showing J9. Kirsch was drawing open ended to a straight with 109, and made a pair on the turn with the 10 but missed on the river. Tom will advance to tomorrow's final table. Eugene Katchalov Struggles For Naught After battling seemingly all day as the short stack, Katchalov's tournament life finally rode on a simple flip of the coin: 77 against Tom Roupe's AQ. The flop of A1010 spelled doom for Katchalov, who found no miracles on the turn or river. Roupe went into heads up play with John Murphy with about a 7 to 1 advantage. Jamshedi Riding A Wave of Relief Beebe and Jamshedi have been trading pots all day, so it's fitting that the two are battling heads up for the opportunity to play in tomorrow's final table. Beebe held a significant advantage in chips when he raised Jamshedi's blind to 18,000, and Jamshedi made the call. After Jamshedi checked a flop of K53, Beebe announced all in. Jamshedi immediately called. Beebe showed AA, while Jamshedi had flopped big with the K8, but still needed help to stay alive in the tournament. The 6 came off on the turn, changing nothing: Jamshedi still needed a king, eight or heart to win a pot worth about 340,000. When the 6 spiked on the river, the usually mild-mannered Jamshedi let out a yelp of exultation before composing himself. He now holds a slight advantage over Beebe.
