Flight A Players Remaining: 41 of 189

David Brown moved all in for 15,600 from under the gun and the dealer threw an all-in chip at his spot.

“Give them all to me!” Brown joked and the dealer tossed the other two all-in chips his way.

It folded around to Mackenzie Ramsay in the big blind.

“I didn’t look,” Ramsay said. “I have to be live.”

He called and he was not live.

Brown:
Ramsay:

Brown was looking good for the small double but Ramsay hit the pretty well. The turn and river finished the board to send Brown out short of bagging.

Level 14: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 50 of 189

A big three-way pot developed on Table 14 with a lot of chips at risk. With the board reading , Scott Caracciolo and Phil Strickland checked and the cutoff bet 10,500. Caracciolo called from the small blind and Strickland check-raised all in for 75,300.

The cutoff waited a few minutes, folded his hand, and Caracciolo called.

Strickland:
Caracciolo:

Stickland’s flopped boat was huge against Caracciolo’s flopped trip threes and he had a big double after the turn and river.

Phil Strickland – 192,000
Scott Caracciolo – 40,000

Level 13: 800/1,600 with a 200 ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 50 of 189

Herb Woodbery and Michael Parisi built a pot and Parisi was at risk for 12,500. Woodbery did not have much more but had a chance to knock a player out.

Woodbery:
Parisi:

Both had big suited cards and it was Parisi nailing the flop. The board finished and Woodbery was left with only 2,800.

He found a nice hand to try and get back in the game but his was dominated by and he couldn’t come back on the board.

The field is dropping pretty quickly, a little faster than you would expect in an event this big. They are down to nearly seven tables when ten came back from dinner an hour ago.

Peter Walsworth is still around and he probably wouldn’t mind duplicating his last time at a SHR poker table. He trekked across the state in April to participate in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown and he won the $5,000 Big Stack for a cool six-digit payday.
