Scott Davies reached the semi finals of the $ 10,000 No Limit Hold'em - Heads-Up (Event #40) at the WSOP this summer and already played the first flight of this accumulator event yesterday, but busted earlier. The American is back at it again and just tweeted the following:
George Danzer's starting table was recently broke, and he was moved over to the same table as Daniel Negreanu and Ryan Riess. This is especially interesting considering Danzer and Negreanu are sitting second and third respectively on the 2014 World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaderboard. The man who leads them, Brandon Shack-Harris, is seated just one table over, so it's certainly an area of the room worth keeping an eye on.
In the last hand of Level 1, a player in middle position opened for 50 and Negreanu called from the hijack. Noah Novick then three-bet to 250 from the cutoff, the original raiser folded, and Negreanu called to see a flop of . Negreanu proceeded to check-call a bet of 200 before both players checked the turn.
When the completed the board on the river, Negreanu bet 700 and Novick hit the tank. Negreanu began his patented table talk and stated that he put Novick on either kings or jacks.
"What do you have?" Novick asked. Negreanu joked that he would tell him, but he didn't want to get a penalty. Not long after, Novick min-raised to 1,400.
Negreanu was flabbergasted and began to laugh out loud.
"My whole life I've always wanted to do that," Negreanu complimented his opponent much to the entertainment of the table. "I've never had the balls to do that."
Negreanu chuckled a bit more and then sent his cards to the muck. The table urged Novick to show a bluff, but he showed just the for at least a pair of queens.
The first level was about to end and Xuan Liu checked out the poker room, just having arrived and checked into the hotel. She immediately spotted Mike Leah and they struck a conversation. Only moments later, Leah picked up pocket kings and there was one raise and two calls before a short stack moved all in.
Leah only flat-called and the initial raiser moved all in with . We didn't see the hand of the other short stack but the Kings held up for Leah and he is now above twice the starting stack.
A player in the hijack opened for 75 and received a call from Daniel Negreanu in the cutoff. Ryan Riess came along from the big blind, and the three players saw a flop of . Riess checked, the hijack bet 125, and only Negreanu called.
Both players then checked the turn, and the action repeated itself on the river.
"I have something," Negreanu said and showed the . It was good as his opponent mucked. "Not what I had planned," Negreanu concluded while pointing at the board.
The pot wasn't really that big until the river of a board and Jonathan Duhamel bet 600. Everett Carlton min-raised to 1,200 rather quickly and Duhamel moved all in for 3,150. The expression from Carlton immediately portrayed a major headache for everybody to see and he ended up tank-calling with slightly more chips only to lose the pot when shown the for the nut straight. Carlton mucked, and Duhamel doubled up.
Back on July 14, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event final table was set. The players in this year's "November Nine" are set to resume play on November 10, and it is a globally diverse group of young players who will be battling it out for the $10 million top prize.
Daniel Sindelar graduated college in 2006 and made the move from his home state of Nebraska to Las Vegas, Nevada. Since then, it's been all poker for the young man from the Midwest, and he's done well enough to find himself at the 2014 WSOP Main Event final table with 21.2 million in chips.
This finish will be far and away Sindelar's most impressive, but he's recorded 17 WSOP cashes and 11 WSOP Circuit cashes over the years.
David Bowen raised to 75 from late position and the player in the small blind called. Ray Henson came along from the big, and three players saw a flop of , which they all checked. When the dealer burned and turned the , the small blind checked and Henson opted to bet 175. Bowen called, the small blind folded, and it was heads-up action to the river.
Henson fired out a big bet of 575, and while Bowen didn't look pleased to do so, he released his hand.
We joined the action on a three-way flop with the board reading , and 2014 World Series of Poker Millionaire Maker champion Jonathan Dimmig check-called a bet of 175 from David Bowen. He repeated the very same move on the turn for 325 and then checked to Bowen a third time when the appeared on the river. Bowen grabbed some chips, contemplated for a little bit, and then made it 550 to go. Dimmig eventually tossed in the chips to make the call, but mucked his cards when shown the from Bowen.
