Gold Section Recap: Racener and Leon Out; Kornuth Looking Good
We are halfway through Level 9 and there are four-hundred and seventy players remaining. Here is a quick recap of the shenanigans in the Gold Section.
Peter Walsworth was one of our early chip leaders and now he is one of our post dinner fatalities. The last time we checked on him he was sat on a stack of around 39,000 (double the average). Paul Berende told us that he bluffed most of them to the player seated to his right, before losing the rest in a rather unfair heads-up match with versus the of Berende.
Christian de Leon has also been eliminated in the cruelest of fashions. Jaspal Brar opened from the button, De Leon moved all-in for around 5,000 and Brar called. De Leon held and Brar . The flop was and the rest is all water under the bridge.
Our final, notable, casualty in the Gold section is former November Niner John Racener. Mathew Frankland was kind enough to talk us through the Racener exit. Frankland opened, David Stephen called before Racener three-bet, Frankland folded and Stephen called. The action checked through on a board of , Stephen bet 2,500, Racener raised, Stephen moved all-in and Racener called. Stephen turned over for the nuts and Racener mucked what Frankland believes was pocket tens.
The players moving at the right end of the counts include Adam Heger, Tucker Hummel, Mazin Khoury, Robert Jin and Adam Kornuth.
Post Note: Mathew Frankland has just come and taken his phone out of the charge with a face like a slapped fish, courtesy of losing a 30k flip.
