Smith Fills on the River

[user75032]
[user75032]
A lucky river card saved Jordan Smith more than 1 million chips. He raised preflop to 525,000 and was called by James Calderaro. Calderaro cheked the {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} flop, then called a bet of 650,000. Both men checked the turn after it fell {5-Clubs}. The river was a seeming blank, the {2-Hearts}. Again Calderaro checked. But on this street, Smith did not check behind. Instead he bet 1.75 million. Calderaro called, then mucked when he saw that the river had hit Smith hard, giving him a full house with {2-Spades} {2-Clubs}.

Smith is up to 16.3 million. Calderaro is one of the shortest stacks with 3.6 million.

Phil Ivey opened for 525,000 and Eric Buchman called from the big blind.

The flop was {6-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Buchman checked to Ivey, who bet 700,000. Buchman folded and Ivey won the pot.

Lamb Over Moon

Haven't seen many hands go past the flop over on the secondary feature table for the last short while -- not since that Ben Lamb double up through Jeff Shulman. That hasn't stopped Lamb's cheering section from making themselves heard whenever their hero wins a hand, no matter how small the pot is, relatively speaking.

Just now Darvin Moon opened with a raise to 700,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Ben Lamb who called from the blinds.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}. This time Lamb led out with a bet of 730,000, and Moon folded to the shouts of "Ben-ba!"

That pot pushes Lamb to about 5.45 million with fifteen minutes to go before the break.

Begleiter Runner-Runners Two Pair

Jamie Robbins raised to 530,000 from the button and Steven Begleiter called from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. Both players checked. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}. Check-check again. The {5-Spades} hit the river and Begleiter led for 750,000. Robbins made the call.

Begleiter showed {8-Spades} {5-Hearts} for two pair and Robbins mucked.

The Bracelet Awaits

Of the remaining 14 players, Phil Ivey is, of course, the most decorated with his seven WSOP bracelets, two of which he won earlier this summer in Event No. 8 ($2,500 No Limit 2-7 Draw) and Event No. 25 ($2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better).

The only other player still with chips who owns a WSOP bracelet is Jordan Smith. He won his this summer in Event No. 36, a $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event.

Smith's name currently appears in the top half of the chip counts with his 16.5 million, while Ivey is lower down the list with 6.54 million.

Ben Lamb Doubles Up

Ben Lamb's rail is ecstatic after watching their horse double up through Jeff Shulman. Shulman was the first preflop aggressor, opening the action to 700,000. Lamb was in the small blind and moved in for 1.71 million more when action passed to him. Shulman wasted little time in calling.

Lamb: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Shulman: {k-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

"Teeeeeeen!" shouted his fans. "Ben-ba! Ben-ba! Ben-ba!" They were even more rowdy when the flop missed Shulman, {9-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}. The {Q-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river gave Lamb and his fans a shudder, but neither one improved Shulman to the best hand. He paid off the double-up, increasing Lamb's count to 4.9 million.
