Christman Falls Short

Nível 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Art Christman finished two places off the bubble when he got it all in preflop with {a-}{k-} and was called by {q-}{q-}.

The cards ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

A good run for Christman but ace king claimed another victim and he fell just short of the money.

The Bubble Has Burst

Nível 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We saw the {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop and Kevin DeTienne bet, Stanley Statkiewicz moved all in for more than 35,000 in chips with {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the gutshot and nut flush draw. DeTienne called with {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and the board completed with the {7-Clubs} turn and the {10-Spades} river. Shortly after all other tables were completed and applause rose from the Seniors when the "we are in the money" announcement came from the speakers.

Good Call Not Rewarded

Nível 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Donna Rosenthal bet 15,000 on a {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop and Ramana Epparla moved all in for 48,400. After some consideration, Rosenthal called with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and saw her opponent turn over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. "Two overs," Epparla said. The {3-Clubs} turn was a brick but the {J-Spades} river completed the straight for Epparla.

431 left.

Munro's Magic

Nível 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Richard Munro was the chip leader over night and he just keeps running good on Day 2 as well. An opponent tried to bluff with {A-}{10-} but Munro made the call with {A-}{Q-} for 20,000 and stayed ahead. That and a couple of small pots added to his stack and he should be chip leader once again.

Keeping it Close to the Vest

Nível 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
As long as you have one of these left in play, anything can happen... just ask Richard Vest
As long as you have one of these left in play, anything can happen... just ask Richard Vest

With hand-for-hand play entering its third or fourth deal, Richard Vest saw his chances of backsliding into the money slipping away with every 200 ante he was forced to sacrifice.

Down to just a single black T100 chip, things were looking bleak indeed for Vest, a resident of Okeechovee, Florida in town to compete in the World Series of Poker like thousands of other seniors.

Vest has cashed here at the Rio once before, when he finished in 268th place for $1,836 in a $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event back in 2012, but even he couldn't imagine finding away to turn the trick again, not with one-half an ante left to work with.

That final chip was tossed into the pot blind and Vest peered down to peek at {k-}{2-}, not exactly a monster hand but one which would likely be live against the ace-highs looking to send him home short of the money. After one player raised to isolate the vulnerable Vest, it turned out he wasn't even drawing live, as his ragged hand was up against {k-}{10-}.

Vest was all but packing his things to make the ignominious walk of bubble shame, but in a flash the dealer and the deck decided his fate, as a {2-} appeared right in the window to extend a tenuous lifeline. The pair of deuces dodged tens on the turn and river, and with that Vest managed to drag a pot containing right around 1,000 chips. At the same time, another player ran his multiple draws into two pair and whiffed, leading to the long awaited announcement that the bubble had burst.

After dwindling down to a lone chip, Vest rebounded to receive a payday here in the Seniors Championship, and shortly afterward his {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} managed to flop a flush to score him another pot.

He had the chip, and he still has his chair, so we'll see if Vest can continue the miraculous comeback and build a stack with which to start climbing the payout ladder.

Farha Takes a Hit

Nível 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Sam Farha
Sam Farha

Sammy Farha faced a raise of 5,000 when he was sat in the big blind. He threw out a call and the two players saw a flop of {9-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

Farha checked and then faced an all-in from the other player of 13,600. Farha shrugged and made the call turning over {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

His opponent though had him beat with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river {10-Clubs} to see a chunk of Farhas chips slide across the table.

Matacale Folds

Nível 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We noticed a large pot going on between Thomas Matacale and Gary La Duca, the latter being one of the bigger stacks throughout Day 1. The board lay until the {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} turn and La Duca moved all in for 28,000. Matacale tanked and even said "sorry guys" to the rest of the table for taking his time of consideration. He eventually folded {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and La Duca said he had {A-}{Q-} in that spot.

Nonetheless, Matacale has already tripled his starting stack from an hour ago.
