More Timid and Tepid Adventures

Mohsin Charania raised to 225,000 in first position holding {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, Rodrigo Caprioli folded {A-} {9-} and Sergio Castelluccion folded {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. Charania wins the blinds and antes and these players are getting extremely short. If they carry on like this the first player eliminated will be blinded out!

-

Clayton Mozdzen raised to 225,000 in early position holding {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and it won the blinds and antes.

-

Lucille Cailly raised to {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} in early position, Bernard Guigon folded {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} in the hijack seat before Daniel Gomez wakes up with {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} in the big blinds. Gomez is on 15BB and he decided to make the call.

Flop: {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}

Cailly maintained her pre flop advantage, and after Gomez checked to her a standard c-bet won the pot.

Dietrich Moves Up to 1.8 Million Shoving

Lucille Cailly opened to 200,000 holding {4-Hearts} {4-Spades} in the cutoff and Michael Dietrich came over the top with a jam for 1,450,000. Cailly asked for a count and stroked her lip while she pondered her options. In the end a rather frustrated Cailly mucked her hand. Dietrich now has 1.8 million as a result of his aggressive shoving strategy.

Michael Dietrich moved all-in for 1,260,000 holding pocket sixes in the cutoff. Sergio Castelluccio folded {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} in the cutoff and Clayton Mozdzen folded {K-} {J-} in the small blind and Dietrich picked up some more B&A.

Rodrigo Caprioli raised to 230,000, under the gun, holding the beautiful looking {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} but nobody wanted to see it.

Cailly and Guigon See a Flop; Charania Picking up B&A

Lucille Cailly opened on the button to 200,000 with {K-Spades} {2-Spades}, Rodrigo Caprioli folded {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} in the small blind but Bernard Guigon called with {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} in the big blind. The pair shared a flop of {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Cailly bet 210,000 once checked too forcing Guigon to fold.

-

Mohsin Charania raised to 225,000 in mid-position holding {8-Spades} {6-Spades}, Lucille Cailly folded {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} in the cutoff as did the rest of the table. Another classic example where the stack sizes are dictating the hand strength needed to play a hand at this final table.

"Red Bull" Robbie Thompson asks the crowd to show their appreciation for the best dealers in the business and they get a great cheer. We echo those sentiments.
