Harrington is in the House

YorkshirePud

Nível 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Dan Harrington is one of poker's legends. Having won the 1995 World Series of Poker Main Event for $1,000,000, Harrington went on to reach back-to-back WSOP Main Event final tables in 2003 and 2004 where he finished third and fourth for scores of $650,000 and $1,500,000.

Harrington is equally as famous for his tournament strategy books that bear his name and will be adopting some of the strategies from those pages here in Event #23.

Harrington currently has 16,000 chips in his stack and is still in the hunt for what would be his third WSOP bracelet.

Sean Prendiville Building a Stack

Nível 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Fresh off a 23rd place finish in the Millionaire Maker - which was good for $50,614 - Sean Prendiville is looking to take it one step further. He is off to a good start today with 65,000 in chips as we near the end of Level 10. That's over 80 big blinds, which in comparison to the majority of the remaining players is a huge stack. He's among the leaders in the tournament at this point.

Roothlus is Toothless

YorkshirePud

Nível 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Adam "Roothlus" Levy has been eliminated from the tournament, although he had to wait a little longer for confirmation of his bust out. He had lost an all-in preflop encounter against when the board ran and was ready to leave the tournament area, but was called back by the dealer as Levy had a single T100 chip left — enough to pay the ante on the next hand.

That 100 went into the middle during the next hand and Levy's lost out to Konstantin Puchkov who hit a pair of fours to bust him.

Glantz Wins Huge Flip to Move to Top of Chip Leaders

YorkshirePud

Nível 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Matt Glantz looks to be our new chip leader following a massive coinflip that he says he almost wasn't a part of.

A raise to 1,700 was three-bet to 3,500 by Glantz who was then facing an all-in four-bet of around 32,000. Glantz said he almost folded, but eventually called, showing as he did so. Glantz's "Big Slick" was up against his opponent's .

The flop kept the lowly pocket threes ahead and Glantz faced the prospect of losing the vast majority of his stack. The on the turn gave Glantz more outs because he could now hit an ace, king, nine, six or heart to win the hand. One of those outs, the landed on the river to counterfeit the pocket threes and leave Glantz with a huge stack of 70,000.
