Bruno Fitoussi limped in and Barry Greenstein moved all in for his last 2,000 from the next seat over. Jennifer Harman called and it folded around to Shirley Rosario who made it three bets. Fitoussi folded and Harman called. On fourth street, action checked around to Harman and she led out with a bet. Rosario called and the same happened on fifth and sixth.
After the two ladies peered at their final hole cards, Harman dropped forward one last bet. Rosario called, tabling for an eighty-six low. Harman showed for an eight high straight and won the high. Greenstein's cards were pulled into the muck and he was eliminated from play.
David "Bakes" Baker opened to 4,000 from early position and only Daniel Idema called as he defended his big blind.
Idema checked the flop with Baker firing off a continuation-bet of 2,000. Idema check-raised to 4,000 and Baker called. Idema then bet both the on the turn and on the river with Baker calling each time.
Idema tabled his for quads and scooped the pot to move to roughly 70,000 in chips.
"I paid Paul, did you pay?" asked Nick Schulman as he walked over to Paul Volpe's table.
"It's a good pay for lots of reasons." continued Schulman.
"As long as he's in the game, it's good for us," stated Volpe.
"Now you have to give us action!" directed Volpe to Huck Seed.
With Schulman and Volpe standing behind Seed, Schulman began walking back to his table, but not before adding, "We're just going to be off!"
"Off!" firmly added Schulman as he made a gesture with his hand slicing across his neck.
With Schulman now seated back at his table, he quickly jumped to his feet and turned to Chris Klodnicki on the table next to him and said, "What do you think, Klod?"
But before Klodnicki could barely get a word out, Schulman interrupted him by saying, "It's one of those things that if you want it, you're probably entitled to it!"
"It's simple. You took a jump shot. It was an airball. You don't get paid," stated Nick Schulman to Huck Seed who had ventured over to his table.
Let's rewind.
The tournament has been back in play for 15 minutes already, but all the talk in the Amazon Tan section is related to whether or not Huck Seed should be paid for the basket he made.
Let's rewind a little further.
Outside near All-American Dave's food truck is a basketball hoop that is connected to a pull-up bar. Players, staff, and even the PokerNews crew have wagered on hitting jump shots and free throws out there, and the players find it a great way to pass time (or earn some extra cash) on the breaks.
From what we can interpret, Schulman and Paul Volpe were betting Seed on being able to hit a jump shot. Apparently, Seed launched his shot in the air, but it missed the hoop and somehow bounced off the pull-up bar and back through the hoop. How it exactly happened is what's been up for debate.
One of the arguments is that it bounced off of the pull-up bar and through the bottom of the rim before falling back through in the standard manner. Another argument is that it bounced off of the pull-up bar, ricocheting up and over the rim before falling back in.
Phil Ivey chimed in and said that if it bounced off something and went in, and that it should count, while others such as Schulman stated that it's a flat out air ball.
"Well, if it doesn't count then maybe we need to get some rules out there," said Seed.
"I just think that a guy that played college basketball and that is the best player in the room shouldn't be arguing if an air ball counts," Schulman sardonically replied.
As of now, players on every table are discussing the finer points of the shot, the bet, and whether or not Seed's shot should be counted.
Late last night, Dan Heimiller won $627,462 by winning Event #17: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship and his second World Series of Poker gold bracelet. His third will have to wait, though, as Heimiller was just bounced from this event by six-time bracelet winner Daniel Negreanu.
In a hand during the limit hold'em round at their table, Negreanu opened with a raise from the hijack seat. Heimiller reraised from the cutoff seat to put himself all in for 5,300. Action the folded to Calvin Anderson in the big blind, and he asked what would happen if he called — "Would he be allowed to reraise?" Anderson asked the dealer, pointing to Negreanu.
"Yeah, I can," responded Negreanu. "It's more than half."
Anderson ended up folding, and Negreanu put in the chips to make the call with the . Heimiller had the .
The flop, turn, and river ran out , and Heimiller was eliminated.
Bill Chen put out a raise from the hijack and Kevin Song flatted from the cutoff. Tom Koral made it three bets from the small blind and both Chen and Song slid forward a call. The dealer fanned a flop of and Koral continued out. Both Chen and Song stuck around, allowing the trio to see the fall on fourth street. Koral bet out once more and Chen kicked his cards into the muck. Song, however, tossed out a call.
The river was the and Koral put out one more bet. Song called and quickly rolled over for tens and sixes. Koral mucked his cards and Song was pushed the pot. He now has about 80,000 while Koral's stack has dropped to 27,000.
Greg Mueller raised from the small blind and Joseph Weinberger called from the big blind. The flop came down and Mueller continued his aggression with a bet. Weinberger called and the two watched as the paired the board on fourth street. Mueller fired out and Weinberger called for a second time.
The river was the and Mueller bet one last time. Weinberger came out with a raise, stopping Mueller in his tracks. He thought for a moment and then released his hand, awarding Weinberger the pot. He now has about 72,000 while Mueller has dropped to 165,000.
