During the last three hands, David Levi shoved from the cutoff for 22k over the top of an utg raise to 7k from Carlos Loving.

The player on David’s left (button) called, then a shorter-stacked player called all-in from the small blind.

After the big blind folded, Carlos re-shoved, isolating the two short stacks by getting the button to fold.

Carlos had AT offsuit.  David was ahead with pocket 8s.  The small blind had J3.  The board came K 6 2 Q J and Carlos made Broadway to bust the two all-in players.

The final 26 players bagged their chips for the night.  Counts will be posted shortly.

On a flop of   Ross Monteleone was all-in and Julio Novo was in the tank.

After giving it some consideration, Julio called off all his chips showing for top/top.  Ross was way ahead with pocket 9s for a set.

The on the turn just made matters worse, giving Ross a full house.  Julio needed the case ten, an Ace, or a 4 on the river to survive, but the river delivered the .   Julio headed for the exit.

With that pot, Ross chipped up to about 300,000 and the chip lead for this flight.

Making her Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Spring Deep Stack Series debut today is Angel Vu.  She’s the 2014 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year.

One of the events that propelled her to the top of that leaderboard was when she won the $500 Deep Stack NLH event here in Tampa last Summer, cashing for over $69,000.   Read her interview here.

She went on to win a $1k SixMax NLH event during the Rock ‘n’ Roll Poker Open last November for over $30,000.  Her career earnings are closing in on a quarter-million dollars.  Not bad for a Vietnamese immigrant who learned the game while dealing poker!

Average Stack:  85,500 (43 big blinds)

Konstantinos Pantaridis is a fixture on the felt here at Seminole Hard Rock Tampa.  He managed to survive a recent all-in encounter when he shoved with and ran into pocket Jacks.  He said “sixty-forty” when he saw his opponent’s cards.

Then the flop came 6 4 x giving him an open-ender, followed by a 7 on the turn for the straight, and he said, “Oh, I meant 100%”.

He doubled his short stack on that hand, but it did not last long and he busted out before the break.

Players are on their last break and they’ll return for two final levels before bagging up.
