We're Curious Too

Action passed around to Ian Tavelli. With blinds at 60,000 and 120,000, he opened to 750,000 by throwing three almond (250,000) chips into the pot. The table was slightly confused.

"Did you throw in the wrong color?" Tommy Vedes asked Tavelli. Tavelli didn't respond but did wind up winning the pot when everyone else folded.

Treys are Good for "Luckychewy"

Andrew Lichtenberger opened for 325,000 and Joe Cada made the call.

The flop came down {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and Lichtenberger led out for 550,000. Cada made the call and they went to the turn, which fell the {2-Spades}. Both players checked. The {4-Hearts} landed on the river and Lichtenberger checked over to Cada, who checked behind.

Lichtenberger's {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} was good and he raked in the pot.

Saout Takes Some from Lacay

Antoine Saout raised to 350,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Ludovic Lacay who called from the big blind.

The flop came {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Lacay checked, Saout bet 400,000, and Lacay called. The turn brought the {6-Clubs}, and both checked.

The river was the {A-Spades}. Lacay checked, and Saout pushed out a bet of 700,000. Lacay made the call.

Saout showed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for the rivered pair of aces, and Lacay mucked. Saout is up to 11 million, while Lacay has slipped to 3.1 million.

Ace Slows Down Akenhead

James Akenhead opened the pot for 280,000 preflop and was called by small blind Warren Zackey. Both players checked to the river on a board that developed {J-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. When Zackey checked a third time, Akenhead finally felt it was safe to throw out a bet of 300,000. Zackey called and was shown Akenhead's pocket kings, {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}, the second time Akenhead has shown down kings today. This time they were good for a small pot.

Dangerous Board Ahead

Phil Ivey opened for 320,000, Jordan Smith raised to 1,000,000 and Ivey made the call.

Smith checked the {Q-Hearts} {10-Spades} {5-Spades} flop over to Ivey, who checked behind. The {Q-Spades} fell on the turn and both players checked again. The {A-Spades} on the river prompted an excited "oooh" from the crowd, but they checked it down again.

Smith turned over {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} for two pair and Ivey mucked.

Nick Maimone Doubles Through Jordan Smith

Jordan Smith made it 320,000 to go from middle position, Nick Maimone reraised to 825,000 on the button, and Smith made the call.

Smith moved all in on the {Q-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop and Maimone snap-called.

Maimone {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
Smith {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

The stands surrounding the feature table exploded as Maimone hit the {7-Spades} on the turn. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Maimone scored a double-up to just over 4 million.

Kopp to the Top

Billy Kopp continues to amass a dazzling collection of orange, green, lavender, and almond colored chips stacked in columns before him.

He was in action again just now, raising to 275,000 from under the gun and getting a caller in Steven Begleiter from the button. The flop came down {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Kopp continued for 600,000, and Begleiter called. Both then checked the {J-Hearts} turn and {J-Clubs} river.

Kopp showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, and Begleiter mucked. Kopp has moved into the chip lead now with 19.1 million. Begleiter currently has 11.35 million.

Another Hit for Akenhead

James Akenhead had scrabbled his way back to about 4.5 million in chips but has suffered another setback. He opened the button for 310,000 and was called by big stack Darvin Moon from the small blind. Moon checked a flop of {5-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, then raised to 1.0 million after Akenhead bet 380,000. Akenhead snap-mucked to the raise, preserving his stack at 3.3 million.

No Stopping Kopp

Ben Lamb raised to 285,000 from the hijack seat, and it folded to Billy Kopp who raised to 860,000 total from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Lamb called.

The flop came {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and both checked. Both also checked the {Q-Spades} turn.

The river brought the {5-Spades}, putting four spades on board. Both checked again. Kopp turned over {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for the straight, and Lamb mucked.

Kopp is now up over 18 million, and Lamb at 7 million.
