Color-Up Break

Time to get rid of those pesky yellow chips!
Time to get rid of those pesky yellow chips!

Despite it being just one hour since our dinner break, the players are now being sent on another break so that the tournament staff can color up all of the yellow 1,000-denomination chips from the table. Back in twenty!

Jacks Full for Brock

Peter Jetten opened to 75,000 from the cutoff and Marcel Cole made the call from the button along with Michael Mizrachi and Brock Bourne in the blinds.

The {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{K-Hearts} flop was checked round to see the {8-Diamonds} land on the turn and Bourne led out for 200,000.

Jetten made the call as Cole and Mizrachi folded to see the dealer drop the {k-Spades} on the river.

Bourne checked and Jetten fired out 325,000 to put Bourne in the tank for nearly two minutes before he decided to move all in for 818,000.

An anguished looking Jetten made the call tabling his {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, but it would be Bourne's {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs} that would see him ensured of the double up to over 2,300,000 in chips.

Norwegian Power!

Damien Luis raised to 80,000 and Johnny Lodden moved all in for 610,000 a couple seats over. It sent Luis deep into the tank for several minutes, but he finally surrendered despite Lodden telling him, "You can't fold now!" during his tank time.

Lodden has chipped up to about 780,000 thanks to that shove.

Action Flop for Direnzo and Jarvis

Matthew Jarvis probably thought that he got a pretty great flop. He was holding {a-Spades}{j-Spades} on a flop of {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{j-Hearts}. His opponent, Gianni Direnzo, had three-bet to 202,000 pre-flop after Jarvis opened for 72,000. Jarvis had called, then checked the flop. Direnzo continued for 500,000, drawing an all-in check-raise from Jarvis. Direnzo called for 870,000 more with {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, a set of tens. That left Jarvis looking for a non-pairing spade that never came, {3-Hearts} turn and {j-Diamonds} river.

Jarvis slipped back below 5.0 million, while Direnzo is up to 3.2 million.

Fernandez Pops Main Event Cherry

We walked over to the table as Jacobo Fernandez had just fired a bet of 150,000 into a pot worth a couple hundred thousand chips and the board reading {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. His opponent was Jean Pasqualini and he let it go to give Fernandez the pot.

Fernandez has two cashes already this year. This is also his first cash in the WSOP Main Event, although he's been a very solid WSOP competitor for the past few years. Back in 2007, he cashed twice. In 2008, Fernandez cashed in seven WSOP events. In 2009, he cashed three times. Out of those years, 2008 was his best. He final tabled three WSOP events worth $136,644, $238,781 and $222,659. That's one heck of a WSOP.

Even though it's only his first cash in the Main Event, Fernandez has plenty of WSOP experience and is certainly doing his best to make the most of it.

No Call of Dunst's River Shove

The red mini-feature table was broken a short time ago, and Tony Dunst landed on Javier Martinez's table. The two recently played a pot, with Martinez betting 200,000 on the turn, {6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Dunst raised that bet to 500,000 but couldn't shake Martinez.

Martinez checked the {9-Spades} river. Dunst responded by moving all in for about 700,000 total. That was too much for Martinez. He folded and dropped to 2.0 million. Dunst, who started the day with 327,000, is now up to 2.3 million.

Portano Out

Desmond Portano was all in preflop with {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, behind Damien Luis' {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

After five community cards, Portano was still behind, as the board came {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. Portano is out in 99th place, for which he earns $67,422.

Meanwhile Luis now has 4.8 million.
