Six More Fall in Level 31; Sindelar Takes the Lead

[user101598]

Nível 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

The 31st level of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event is in the books, and there is a new chip leader: Dan Sindelar. The American added considerably to his stack this level in a hand that saw him check-raise all in on a completed board against Leif Force, who folded in an eight million-chip pot. Sindelar then picked more when he applied a few streets of pressure against Thomas Sarra Jr., and he now has over 26 million chips on break.

The pace of play at Table 3 (70 hands) is much faster than at Table 2 (45 hands) and the Feature Table (46 hands), and Sindelar is taking advantage of the extra hands he’s played.

Bryan Devonshire (25th), Kyle Keranen (24th), Yorane Kerignard (23rd), Iaron Lightbourne (22nd), Leif Force (21st), and Dan Smith (20th) all hit the rail during Level 31. Devonshire lost a race with against Maximillian Senft’s ; Keranen ran into the of Bruno Politano; Kerignard was crippled after a race with against the of Christopher Greaves, leaving him with less than a big blind; Lightbourne had his cracked by Sindelar’s ; Force couldn't improve with against Greaves' ; and Dan Smith fell when his couldn't catch up to Jorryt van Hoof's .

Meanwhile, William Tonking received a key double-up through William Pappaconstantinou roughly halfway through Level 31. Three bets went in preflop and the rest of the money went in the middle on a ten-high, rainbow flop. Tonking’s had Pappacontantinou’s crushed, and the pocket rockets held up.

The players are on a short break. Play will resume in roughly 10 minutes. We will provide you with full counts shortly. Meanwhile, listen to two-time bracelet winner, Luis Velador, speak with Sarah Grant earlier:

Politano, who studied at Colégio 7 de Setembro in Fortaleza, Brazil, currently ranks 98th on the Brazilian all-time money list with $110,054 in live earnings. His poker prowess comes as no surprise when you consider he’s friends with some of his homeland's best poker players, such as Andre Akkari, Maria Mayrinck, and Thiago Decano.

Prior to his deep run in the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event, Politano’s biggest cash was for $47,493 for a third-place finish in the 2013 Brazilian Series of Poker Main Event (BSOP) in Florianópolis. Other significant finishes include eighth in the Latin American Poker Tour IV Sao Paulo R$5,000 Main Event for $27,206 and seventh in the 2011 BSOP High Roller for $10,594.

As for his Main Event run, Politano began the Day 1c minefield as one of the many hopefuls in the field. He managed to finish the 2,571 survivor 474th in chips with 66,800 and while he managed to make it through Day 2c, he did so with just 72,400 – good for 1,134 of 1,864 players. Politano chipped up slightly to 110,000 on Day 3, which put him 598th out of 746 players.

Politano’s patience paid off on Day 4 when he was able to increase his stack twentyfold to 2.289 million, which put him in fifth out of 291 players. He maintained his status on Day 5 as he chipped up to 5.475 million – good for fourth out of the advancing 79 players – and on Day 6, he navigated his way to the top 27, sixth in chips with 11.625 million. Politano's patience has served him well and might just lead to a seat at poker’s most prestigious final table.
