There was confusion on Table 339 moments ago as a player threw in a 500 chip to call a 5,500 bet. "Whoa, what are you doing?" interrupted Alex Jacob. "I'd get a floor over here."
"Do you want me to call a floor?" asked the dealer to Evelyn Ng, who was the player responsible for the bet. "Sure," she replied.
Before the floor was called over, said player had already thrown his hand into the muck, but the final ruling was that because he hadn't announced call, he wasn't obliged to match the full bet, but the 500 had to stay. Everyone seemed content with this decision, and we moved onto the next hand.
Amid the confusion, Ng scooped up the pot and now has a stack of 115,000.
There were about 18,000 chips in the middle when we arrived at Joe Cada's table to see him playing heads-up against another player at his table with a board reading .
Action was on Canada and the thought for some time before betting 8,000. His opponent was quick to call, showing for two pair, leading Canada to muck.
Cada has slipped to 65,000 after losing that hand.
We walked up to a flop of just in time to see David Williams check-call a bet of 5,000 from his lone opponent. On the turn, Williams called another 12,000, and the filled out the board on fifth street. Taking the lead now, Williams shoved all in over the top for effectively the ~27,000 his opponent had in front of him. Snap-call!
Williams tabled for the small flush, and his hand was second-best. The other player tabled for the full house, and Williams has been knocked down to about 11,000.
Scott Baumstein raised to 3,100 preflop and was called by a single opponent. Both players checked the flop and the came on the turn. Baumstein bet 4,400 and received a call.
The river was the and Baumstein bet 15,000. His opponent went into the tank for a very long time. So long in fact, that around the nine minute mark the dealer called the clock. The floorman was brought over and did the one minute countdown. The clock expired and the player's hand was declared dead.
Baumstein then showed for a six-high. He is sitting at 290,000.
On a board of , Tony Dunst was all in on the river for a raise over his opponent's bet. The opponent made the call and Dunst tabled the to beat his opponent's .
"I guess I didn't want that club," said Dunst. "Cooler flop."
Dunst doubled on the hand and is up to 156,000 in chips.
We've been trying to catch reigning champion Joe Cada in a hand for most of the day, but every time we go by his table he eludes us. We did catch him open a recent pot to 3,000 pre-flop. A player in late position called, but then folded for 4,000 more on a paired flop, .
That's the best we've been able to do so far for Cada, who's rocking s stack of about 75,000.
Victorino Torres raised to 3,500 from middle position, and he was called by both the hijack and the button. From the big blind, Chris Moneymaker moved all in for his last 3,900. Torres announced a reraise, but he was forced to flat-call the extra 400, and his other two live opponents followed suit.
The flop came , and Torres' 7,000-chip bet was enough to force out the meddlers and get him heads up with a chance to knock out Moneymaker. He tabled, , and Moneymaker was behind but drawing live with his .
The turn and river did nothing to help either player, and Torres' kicker played to eliminate Moneymaker from the field.
David "Devilfish" Ulliott was in early position and raised to 3,200. He received calls from both the cutoff and the button. The flop came down and the big blind checked. Devilfish bet 7,000 and the cutoff began thinking about it. "You thinking that long buddy, you're in bad shape," the Devilfish said.
The cutoff then cut out some chips and raised to 18,000. The big blind folded and action was back on the Devilfish. "If I throw it away are you going to show me?" he asked. There was no response so the Devilfish called and checked in the dark.
The turn was the and the cutoff bet 25,000. The Devilfish gave up on the hand and tossed his cards into the muck. The cutoff then showed for a simple pair of sixes. "Nice hand," was all the Devilfish said as he dropped to 68,000.
