David Paredes Doubles Through Curt Kohlberg
Oct 27, '10
Curt Kohlberg opened for a raise to 18,000 from under the gun and was called by David Adkison. The action folded around to David Paredes in the big blind and he reraised to 56,000.
Kohlberg then made it 256,000, letting Adkison out of the hand. Here’s where it got complicated. Paredes announced call, clearly under the impression that he was all in. Kohlberg must have thought so as well, because he turned his hand over, revealing AK.
Paredes then showed 99 before the dealer stopped action, explaining that Paredes still had 36,000 in chips behind. The floor was called over and they ruled that since both players intended to be all in preflop, there action would stand and no penalties would be given out.
The flop came down A54 and Paredes immediately soured, bemoaning his luck since joining table 2. Kohlberg remains silent, but has to get up from the table when the 9 hit the turn. For some reason, Paredes doesn’t cheer up much after hitting his card and begins to tell the table that the card was “justice” for all the misfortune he’s had today.
The inconsequential river is the 5 and Paredes continues to talk as he collects his chips. During his rant, he accuses Kohlberg of angle shooting, purposely turning over his cards to get information.
Of course, this doesn’t make any sense since both players were simply confused about the amount of the bet in front of them. Immediately, the rest of the table, including Steve Zolotow and John Patgorski come to Kohlberg’s defense and explain that it was a simple misunderstanding. Paredes won’t have it though and a few awkward minutes follow as Paredes builds his chips.
Paredes now has about 680,000, while Kohlberg is down to 450,000.

Big Hands:
 Peter Feldman Doubles Through Curt Kohlberg
Curt Kohlberg raised to 5,000 pre-flop from middle position and the action folded to Peter Feldman in the big blind. Feldman reraised all in for an additional 43,000 and Kohlberg made the call. Feldman turned over AQ, a virtual coin flip against his opponent’s JJ. The flop was favorable to Kohlberg, K87, and the 5 also failed to improve Feldman. However, the Q on the river changed everything and Kohlberg lost a tidy portion of his stack to Feldman.
Jamel Maistriaux Continues to Take Hits
In the level after Jamel Maistriaux lost a key pot to current chip leader Mark Seif, Maistriaux continued to take hits to his stack. In one hand, Scott Freeman raised to 7,100 pre-flop and Maistriaux made the call from the big blind. The flop came 975 and Maistriaux checked. Freeman continued his lead by betting 7,500 and Maistriaux called. The turn brought the 5, and Maistriaux led out with a bet of 20,000. After a moment of deliberation, Freeman declared that he was all in. Before he could finish counting his chips to determine the size of the reraise, Maistriaux threw his cards in the muck. Adding insult to injury, Freeman turned over J10 to show Maistriaux that he had jack-high.
Rosen Slows Nielsen Down with a River Bet
On a board of J7544, Jamie Rosen made a bet of 18,500 into an already large pot. Thomas Nielsen muttered to himself for a moment before electing to call. Rosen turned over AA for two pair, aces and fours. Nielsen turned over K10 for a flush and collected the pot. Nielsen questioned Rosen after the hand about whether or not he would have called if he had pushed all in over the top of Rosen’s river bet. Rosen maintained that he would not have called, instead opting to protect his remaining 130,000 in chips.
Zachary Clark Eliminated as Players Head Towards the Bubble
Zachary Clark got all his money into the middle pre-flop with 85 against Max Greenwood’s A9. The flop came Q75, giving Clark the lead with a pair of fives. The 4 on the turn didn’t help Greenwood, but the A on the river sent Clark home without a payday.

One Match Remains
Jun 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
