Robert Deppe Eliminated in 11th Place ($19,664)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Robert Deppe
Robert Deppe

Robert Deppe pushed all in fromt he small blind and Phillip Hui made the call rather quickly. Deppe showed his {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and was behind against Hui's {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. There were some possibilities for a split pot but those hopes were gone after the flop: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The {2-Clubs} on the turn sealed the deal for Hui and the {7-Hearts} made the board complete. Hui had 269,000 and left Deppe with just 11,000 in chips.

Deppe folded the next hand but a hand after that he was all in for his last couple of chips. Deppe had {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and got isolated by Hui who showed {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Deppe didn't make a come back as the board came out {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} | {3-Hearts} | {J-Spades}.

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Adam Sanders

Daniel Idema opened to 32,000 from the hijack position and saw Roy Weiss threebet to 95,000 from the button. In the big blind Adam Sanders pushed all in for 85,000 and Idema eventually folded. Sanders showed his {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and was up against Weiss' {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The flop was still good for Sanders but the turn brought the pain: {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} | {K-Clubs} | {J-Diamonds}.

Austin Doubles Through Sanders

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Austin has been active to start the day. He raised to 36,000 on the button and Adam Sanders, after some thought, went all in from the small blind. Austin called and tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and found himself ahead of the {a-Spades}{2-Spades} of Sanders.

The board came {q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Austin doubled again leaving Sanders on the short stack.

Epner Doubles Through Barlow

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

While Phil Ivey was going all in (and being busted a couple of seconds later) there was action on the other table as well. On a {K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop Epner had checked to Barlow who had bet 35,000. Epner shoved all in for 160,000 more and after some thinking, Barlow made the call.

Barlow showed {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} while Epner had {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. The {K-Hearts} sealed the deal for Epner and the {J-Diamonds} was an unnecessary card. "Yeah, I'm back in it" Epner said somewhat to himself.

Nick Colbrese Receives a Penalty

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The pot was heads up between Nick Colbrese and Phillip Hui with {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} on the table. Hui had checked to Colbrese but he wasn't all there it seemed. After some time the dealer asked if Colbrese knew action was on him. Then he flipped open his cards all of the sudden: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The floor was called over and he ruled that Colbrese's hand was still in action. Hui knew exactly what he was up against and called a bet Colbrese eventually made. The {6-Hearts} fell on the turn and both players checked. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Hui checked again. Colbrese checked behind and Hui mucked, leaving the pot to Colbrese.

Colbrese got a one round penalty for revealing his hand before the hand had finished.

Phil Ivey busted by Taylor Paur in 14th place ($15,544)

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey shoved under-the-gun and the action quickly folded to Taylor Paur in the small blind. Paur took a good look at Ivey's stack, and then announced to be all in as well. Roy Weiss took a quick glance at his cards and folded, and thus we had heads-up showdown.

Paur tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and threw them in the middle of the table. Ivey took a look at his cards and seemed disappointed with his second card; {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. It had the look of it that Ivey had only looked at his first card initially, and had already decided to shove seeing the ace alone.

The match-up would become even more unfair for Ivey as the flop gave Paur a set: {7-Spades}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades}. With the {6-Clubs} on the turn it was all over and Ivey was already half on his way to another event. Nobody cared about the {J-Diamonds} on the river and we continue the tournament with 13 players.

Ivey On Life Support

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

In one of the first hands of the day, Ryan Austin raised all in under the gun for his stack of 226,000. Action folded to Phil Ivey in the big blind and after cutting out his chips, he made the call. He was not happy to see his {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} was behind to Austin's {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Austin's kicker played leaving Ivey on the extreme short stack.

Just two hands later, Ivey doubled through Adam Sanders. Ivey with {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Sanders holding {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} saw the {5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs} giving Ivey the double up.

Interview: Chip Leader Taylor Paur

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Taylor Paur
Taylor Paur

Taylor Paur is sitting comfortably at the start of Day 3 in Event #18. Paur entered the day with a huge chip lead, holding nearly twice as many chips as his next closest competitor, Alexander Barlow.

Although Paur is a force to be reckoned with on the online felts, he faces a tough final 14 players including nine-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey, WSOP bracelet holder Daniel Idema, and WSOP Circuit legend Kyle Cartwright.

Before the day began we had an opportunity to chat with Paur about going into the final day as the chip leader.

You have nine WSOP cashes and two final tables. What would winning a bracelet mean to you?

It would be awesome just to close one out because I’ve come close but haven’t snagged one yet. It would be great just to get that monkey off my back just to know that yes, I am capable of winning a bracelet.

You sit atop the final 14 with a commanding chip lead. How will your play change today because of that?

As chip leader I will try to use that towards my advantage. I will definitely play more hands than if I was a shorter stack, so open my range a bit.

Who do you think is your toughest competitor?

Of course Phil Ivey is in the field; he’s the best. There are some other good players too but it’s Ivey. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t intimidated. He’s an intimidating character; he has the stare, plays aggressive, and has the name. He’s just a boss!
