Nível 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Level 12 has come and gone, and it was another exciting level. The Pavilion Room is now done for the summer, while the entire Red Section and half the Bronze Section of the Brasilia Room have been cleared.

Here's a look at some of the more notable happenings from Level 12:

- James Dempsey hits the rail.
- Chris Moorman builds a big stack.
- Former NBA Champion Earl Barron and cricket star Shane Warne bust.

The approximately 1,224 remaining players will return in 20 minutes, so join us then as there are still three more levels to be played here on Day 3.

Thanks to a late pot, AJ Jejelowo is your chip leader with 776,200. Details on that hand coming shortly...

Nível: 13

Blinds: 1,200/2,400

In the last hand of Level 12, a player raised to 4,300 from early position and got three callers, including A.J. Jejelowo sitting in middle position. The flop came {2-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} , and when it checked to the raiser he continued for 7,000, and only Jejelowo stuck around.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} . This time Jejelowo's opponent bet 18,000, and Jejelowo responded with a raise to 48,000 which his opponent called.

The river was the {K-Clubs} . Jejelowo's opponent checked, and Jejelowo fired a bet of 85,000 which his opponent called. Jejelowo rolled over {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} for the flopped wheel, and his opponent mucked.

That catapults Jejelowo over 775,000, putting some distance between himself and the rest of the field to start the next level.

Lamanna Does The Lambada

Chris Moorman opened the action with a raise to 5,500 from early position. Alan Curl decided to three-bet to 15,000. David Randall got out of the way Brian Lamanna wasted no time in shoving all in for 38,700. Moorman got out of the way and Curl called.

Curl: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Lamanna: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Lamanna was crushed and needed help going to the flop. Curl was excited to see a third ace flop on {5-Spades} {A-Spades} {J-Spades} , but horrified when he realized his opponent was holding the queen of spades.

There was no sweat, as the {9-Spades} rolled off on the turn and Lamanna jumped into the lead. Curl would need the board to pair or to hit the fourth ace in order to send Lamanna home. Unfortunately for Curl, the river was the {7-Diamonds} and Lamanna was able to dance into a double up to 88,200.

Phan Razor Sharp Today

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

We caught John "The Razor" Phan in a heads up pot on the turn, with the board reading {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} . Phan fired out 10,000 from the big blind, and Steve Garfinkle raised it up to 24,000. Phan thought for about 20 seconds before clicking back with a min raise to 38,000, and Garfinkle went into the tank. After about 90 seconds of thought, he kicked his cards in, giving the pot to Phan.

Phan broke the 200k mark with that hand, jumping up to 203,000.

Matthew Berkey opened the action with a raise to 5,000 and Maria Ho made it 12,000 to play from the big blind. The blinds released and Berkey made it 30,000 to go. Ho called and the flop came {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} .

Berkey led with 25,000, Ho called and the turn came {4-Clubs} . Berkey checked and Ho took a few moments before moving all in. Berkey called and the hands were tabled.

Ho: {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Berkey: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

The river came {5-Clubs} and Ho doubled up to around the average stack.

Five-Bet Fa Sho

Randy Haddox opened for a raise from under the gun, Andrew Moreno three-bet to 12,600 on the button, and the blinds released. Haddox responded with a four-bet to 32,400, and Moreno five-bet to 82,600.

Haddox screwed up his face and reached for orange T5,000 chips, but never committed them. He opted to fold, and asked Moreno to, "Show a four."

Moreno shook his head. "Why would I give you information when you win every pot?"

Haddox grinned. "Apparently, I don't."

Earlier today, Sarah Grant caught up with Kristy Arnett's better half:

Out of the Blue

[user38338]

We just made a quick excursion over to the Blue section where those three tables are set up all by themselves, giving ESPN lots of room for shooting hands. We're calling it the "Blue" section as that was what that corner of the Amazon room was formerly called, although now the signs referring to it as such have been removed. In essence there are five feature tables — the main one in the "mothership," the secondary feature, and the three in Blue.

At the first table, Vanessa Selbst was involved in yet another tense hand that ended with her scooping a small pot to add further to her stack. Alex Jacob is sitting at that table as well with a slightly above average stack.

The middle table finds Shaun Deeb continuing to sport a top five stack with more than 540,000. Erick Lindgren and Katie Dozier are both there, too, with less than average chips.

Finally start-of-day chip leader Gaelle Baumann has been battling at the far table all afternoon. During our tour, Baumann had been checked to following the river with the board showing {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} . She pushed out a bet of 36,000 into a pot roughly three times that size, and after a good bit of thought her opponent called, turning over {5-Hearts} {5-Spades} . His small pair was good as she mucked her hand.

Baumann still has over 450,000, however, despite that hit.

Shaun Deeb	545,000 -6,500	-6,500

Gaelle Baumann	454,000 -66,700	-66,700

Wong Whacks Negreanu's Stack

Jerry Wong opened for 5,000 from the button and found one caller in Daniel Negreanu in the big blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} and Negreanu checked to Wong - who fired a 5,400 c-bet into the middle. Negreanu then check-raised to 13,200 and Wong made the call.

The {5-Spades} fell on the turn and Negreanu checked. Undeterred, Wong bet 10,000 and Negreanu decided to flat call.

The {10-Spades} completed the board and Negreanu checked a final time. Wong slid out a hefty 33,000 bet and Negreanu quickly folded.

Negreanu slid back to 204,000 after that one.

Force Fails To Crack Aces

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

We saw a dejected Leif Force slammed his {a-Clubs} {k-Spades} down on the table, and we saw that he was up against a shorter stack's {a-Spades} {a-Hearts} all in preflop. The board ran out clean for the aces, coming {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} {4-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} , and Force shipped about 40,000 over to his opponent.

After that pot, Force dropped down to 85,000.
