When we reached Table 357, the board read . David Vamplew led for 38,500, and Daniel Ryan made the call. The river was the , and Vamplew slid out 115,000 - more than enough to put Ryan all in.
Ryan then exposed his hand - - and went into the tank. He eventually made the call, and Vamplew mucked his hand. Ryan was then given a one round penalty for exposing his hand - a penalty we're sure he has no issues with.
Joseph Cheong and Reza Kashani went to a flop of with 25,000 already in the pot. Kashani moved all in and Cheong insta-called and tabled for flopped middle set.
Kashani was drawing live though holding and needed Broadway cards to straighten out. The turn fell which changed nothing
The river fell putting an exclamation point on Kahsani's elimination. Cheong's quad queens upped his stack to 315,000 and is at least $19,359 richer.
Lots of grins around the Amazon Room at the moment, though none bigger than Steve Rosen's. He survived the cash bubble as the super short-stack, and on the first hand in the money was putting more than half his remaining chips in the middle just to pay the big blind.
On that hand, a player in the cutoff raised and Rosen called, showing to his opponent's . The board ran out , and Rosen doubled.
On the next hand there was a UTG raise, and it folded around to Rosen in the small blind who pushed all in again. The big blind folded, and the original raiser called, showing to Rosen's . The board came , and just like that Rosen is up to 65,000.
We found Kenny ‘Super Tuan’ Nguyen all in and at risk preflop for around 40,000.
Nguyen:
Opponent:
Nguyen was behind and the flop kept him behind but gave him outs to the ace or six which he began calling for. The on the turn changed nothing nor did the on the river and Nguyen banged the table. He then said, “My dream is gone” but another player at the table gave him some consolation and said, “Hey, you made the money.”
Denilson Menezes has been eliminated. He was all in with the for 34,000 and up against the for an opponent. The board ran out and Menezes hit the rail early in the money.
Reza Kashani is looking happy for just being eliminated on the bubble.
Level 16 was exciting as poker gets for 693 players. For the handful that busted before it's the worst day of the year. 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong knocked the 694th player, Reza Kashani, with quad queens, guarenteeing the remaining players are at least $19,359 richer.
It's not all bad news for Kashani, he'll have his 2012 WSOP Main Event entry fee paid for.
Kashani wasn't the only player eliminated in the round. Phil Hellmuth, Berry Johnston, who failed to set a record for most Main Event cashes, Andrew Chen and Kenny Nguyen.
Following the break the field will return to play one hour, then take a two hour dinner break and return and play for three more hours.
A player in early position opened for 12,000 and the the small blind re-raised to 42,500. Erick Lindgren tanked from the big blind before flatting. The original raiser folded and both blinds were heads up going to the flop.
The flop came and the player in the small blind led out for 48,500. LIndgren made the call.
The turn brought the and the small led out again for 57,500. Lindgren fell hard into the tank, but eventually said, "Alright," and mucked face up. His opponent promptly flipped over for a flopped full-house.
Both players said they wanted to see the river card because it would be good for T.V. The dealer did not comply and Lindgren reached for the deck. After a brief struggle, Lindgren managed to burn a card and flip over the would-be river...
...the , which would have given Lindgen a superior full-house.
"That's so sick," Lindgren said with a smile.
Despite the hit, Lindgren is still in high spirits and is currently sitting with 430,000.
Jake Cody was all in and at risk preflop against Fabio Sousa. Cody's was trailing the of Sousa, and Cody couldn't crack the jacks as the board ran , eliminating him from the tournament.
