Adams Around Starting Stack

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Several Super High Roller participants have already entered once or even twice and have been eliminated. Among those still in contention with shorter stacks, hovering just around the starting stack.

Just now, Timothy Adams raised to 2,400 and was called two ways by Ralph Wong on the button and the big blind. The {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop was checked to Adams and he bet 5,000 to claim the pot right there.

Calderado Runs Into a Set

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Joining the action on the {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, James Calderaro bet the small blind for 4,000 and Kevin Rabichow on the button raised to 11,000. Calderaro was sent into the think tank and he talked through possible hands loudly at the table.

"What are you raising? Eight nine? Come on man, I don't want to play again tomorrow. I don't want to leave this table," Calderaro said but didn't get any reaction. Ultimately, he moved all in for around 25,000 and Rabichow snap-called.

James Calderaro: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Kevin Rabichow: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Calderaro needed runner-runner and picked up some hope on the {J-Spades} turn, but the {6-Diamonds} river was a blank.

Alexander Kharkov opened to 2,000 under the gun. Justin Bonomo, in middle position, three-bet to 6,500. Action folded back Kharkov who called.

A flop reading {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} was dealt. Kharkov checked. Bonomo bet 5,000. Kharkov check-called.

The turn came the {10-Spades}. Kharkov checked again. Bonomo continued with a bet of 17,000. Kharkov took a minute of reflection before check-raising to 40,000. Bonomo responded by moving all in for around 64,000. Kharkov snap-called and the cards were tabled.

Alexander Kharkov: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}
Justin Bonomo: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

The {6-Hearts} river filled up the board and Kharkov raked in the pot, eliminating Bonomo.

Perrault Builds a Stack

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marc Perrault finished 6th in the $25,000 PokerStars NL Hold'em Players Championship for more than $1 million and also proceeds to build a decent stack late on Day 1a. Just now he was involved in a hand with fellow Canadian Erik Lemarquand, who check-called a bet of 4,500 by Perrault in a battle big blind versus button on the {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Lemarquand also checked the {9-Spades} turn and a bet of 13,200 did the trick for Perrault to force a fold. Several other notables can be found on the table including Scott Seiver on his second bullet.
