Roberto Desogos

Jeffrey Silverstein was down to 15,500 after running a flush into quads and was all in from under the gun. Roberto Desogos was also all in for 37,000 from the big blind with the cutoff player having them both covered sitting between them.

Desogos: AsJc
Silverstein: AcJd
Cutoff: TdTc

Desogos and Silverstein were in bad shape with their outs sitting in each other’s hand. The tens were good on the 4s3s3h flop and Qh turn but the four-out Js hit the river. Desogos and Silverstein chopped up the cutoff while sticking around.

“I didn’t even get a double up,” Silverstein said to the table.

Roberto Desogos – 64,000 (40 bb)
Jeffrey Silverstein – 23,000 (14 bb)

Greg Spinder

A player under the gun raised to 2,000 and Jeffrey Silverstein called next to act. Greg Spinder shipped in for 11,300 from middle position and the cutoff called at risk for 5,800. The UTG player ripped his big stack in the middle as well and Silverstein called all for 58,200.

Big four-way action.

It folded all the way around to Allen Kerlin on the button and he raised to 1,300. Evan Teitelbaum moved all in for 6,400 and Kerlin tossed in a chip to call.

Kerlin: TsTd
Teitelbaum: 9c9s

Teitelbaum was dominated but confident.

“You ready for this?” he asked.

Things got worse on the QdTc7c flop when Kerlin flopped middle set then he picked up a small gutshot draw on the 6h turn. Teitelbaum called for an eight but got the Qh on the river to exit the Main Event.

Allen Kerlin – 26,500 (53 bb)

Howard Mash

A player in middle position opened the action and Lawrence Gradus three-bet to 1,600. Howard Mash cold four-bet to 6,000 from the small blind and only the OG raiser came along.

“Come on Larry!” Mash joked with Gradus before he folded.

The flop came Jc9d2c, Mash bet 4,200 and it was called. The turn was Ah, Mash moved all in for 18,400 and he was called again.

Mash: 9c9sset of nines

Eric Landau

The first break is complete and cards are back in the air with 146 entries so far. There’s a very good chance we double up the $50,000 guarantee before registration closes at 2:30 pm.

Eric Landau was the biggest stack we found while they were gone. He came back to 85,000 then promptly added another 10K in the first hand back. Lawrence Gradus had the second biggest with 61,000 followed by a lot of above-average stacks.
