A player in middle position raised to 450 and Shaun Deeb made the call on the button. The flop came down and the bet was 1300 to Deeb.
He called and the hit the turn. His opponent fired again, this time 2,200. Deeb took a few moments before raising to 10,000. His opponent folded after a few moments and Deeb is up to just over 20,000.
Facing a raise to 600 and two calls in front, David "Chino" Rheem smelled weakness from the small blind, and put on the squeeze play. Rheem slid his last 3,225 chips into the middle and stared down his opponents.
The big blind released and so too did the original raised, but the first caller tanked. Finally he called all-in for his remaining 3,000 chips and the last player called all-in immediately for less. The hands were turned up:
Chino:
Tank-Caller:
Snap-Caller:
Chino's diagnosis was right, but after both calls he needed to dodge a ton of outs. The flop was bad news bears for Chino and the last player to call. The turn and river were both sixes though, , and some how won the pot tripling to near starting stack.
Chino was left with just 225 chips and doubled the next hand, but moments ago he was seen exiting the Pavilion Room.
After a raise and a call preflop, Bonomo and an opponent saw a flop of .
Bonomo led for 1,000 chips or so and, according to our senior tournament reporter David "DK" King, his opponent "snap-crackle-pop called all-in."
Bonomo:
Snap-Crackle:
The on the turn gave Bonomo broadway and an unbeatable hand. The river was a formality, and Bonomo eliminated his opponent increasing his chip stack to 4,000 chips.
According to Dan "Wretchy" Martin's Twitter account, he and Kevin "Bel0wAb0ve" Saul had a $1,000 last longer going for todays event. In order to win though, you must make the money.
We saw Saul hit the rail recently, meaning Martin is now on a freeroll.
Already up to about 7,000, Phil Ivey just gave a little back after doubling up an opponent. He raised in early position to 300 and his opponent went all in from late position for 1,025.
Action folded around to Ivey and he called with , racing against . The board ran out and Ivey takes a small hit, dropping to about 6,000.
