Motycka Bracelet Hunting

Nível 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Debbie Motycka is a bit of a mystery with no online record that we would find, but there’s a reason for that as her husband Rich explained to us just a short time ago, “She’s not online.”

He told PokerNews that they play in a home game comprising 18 people 21 weeks a year, and for the past six years they have sent two people from their home in Orland Park, Chicago to play in $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em events at the WSOP. Rich won the most points this year and busted in 215th place yesterday, and Debbie won the “Roll off.” and is still in.

They have both played in the WSOP before but this is the group's first cash and they are after more.

“She bust Cantu!” Rich exclaimed, “She wants that bracelet.”

Nível 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We caught the action with the board reading and Matt Lapossie facing a bet of 10,500 from his heads-up opponent, Travell Thomas. Thomas was talking to Lapossie and received a couple warnings from the dealer, which got Phil Hellmuth out of his seat, asking the floor about rulings.

Eventually, Lapossie made the call and we saw a river of the . Lapossie checked and Thomas fired 27,000, talking the whole time. "If you fold I'll show," Thomas said.

This statement brought another warning from the dealer and Hellmuth shot out of his seat and we heard him on the phone asking, "What's going on Jack, are we changing the rules of poker."

Meanwhile, Lapossie folded after some thought and Thomas showed the . Hellmuth would come back to the table and summarize his discussion with WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel as "you can talk as long as you don't disclose the contents of your hand."

The turn card was the and Hellmuth led for 13,000. As his opponent was deciding what to do Hellmuth told him, “Let me have this one. You take the next one.”

This time the speech was met by a raise to 40,000 and Hellmuth was out of his chair.
