Event #58: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em MAIN EVENT - World Championship

Ryan D'Angelo has built up a big stack over the last level, and is putting it to use as well.

Just now came a hand in which a player in the hijack seat opened for 1,600 and it folded to D'Angelo in the small blind who reraised to 4,600. The big blind stepped aside, then D'Angelo's opponent pushed it up to 7,600. D'Angelo promptly responded by setting out a pile of orange chips -- another reraise to 70,000. His opponent had but 27,000 behind, and after thinking a bit let his hand go.

"Good hand," he said, and in response D'Angelo showed one of his hole cards -- the  .

D'Angelo won another hand just after that, and has pushed up to 275,000 as we near the end of Level 7.

We didn't catch the hand, but as Beth Shak walked past our table, she simply said "I'm out had Ace-King vs a set." That unfortunate stroke of luck has sent Shak to the rail, ending her WSOP.

Matt Matros had just moved to a new table when a hand arose in which he opened with a raise to 1,600 from the small blind. His opponent in the big blind -- busy collecting his green chips in racks in preparation for the upcoming color-up -- tossed out chips to call.

The flop came a coordinated    , and Matros bet 1,600 again. His opponent, still occupied with the chip collecting, quickly called. The turn was the   and Matros again fired, this time 3,100. Again came another quick call.

The river brought the  , putting a fourth spade on board. Matros bet 8,500 this time, and finally his opponent stopped collecting chips to think about the situation. After a half-minute, he let his hand go.

Matros, the Event No. 52 winner ($2,500 Mixed HE), is up to 108,000.

On the turn of a      board, the big blind checked it across to Matt Savage who bet 4,200 before being called. The river was the   and both players checked, Savage turned over    which was good enough to win the pot having seemingly got there on the end.

Savage has around 120,000.

Tim West came in for a raise in the cutoff to 1,500, and Francesco Nguyen made it 3,800 in the small blind. The big blind folded, and West made the call. The flop came out    , and Nguyen bet out 5,000. West thought for about 15 seconds before announcing all in. Nguyen asked for an exact count, and when he got it, he slid a stack of orange T5000 chips, making the call.

West:   
Nguyen,   

"Well that's not the hand I wanted you to have!" joked West who was clearly hoping for an overpair. West would need to dodge a nine or a four, and he survived the turn, the  . The river brought the  , filling West up, and he scored to double up to get himself back up close to 50,000.

With the board showing     and about 3,000 in the middle, the small blind checked, the player in middle position fired 1,800, and Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri called from the button. The third player folded, and the remaining two players saw the turn come the  . Barbieri's opponent bet 3,625, and Barbieri made the call.

The river brought the   and another bet from the middle position player -- 7,300 this time. Looking out over the tops of his eyeglasses, Barbieri rolled his eyes, then let his hand go, preserving the 15,500 he has left.

We don't know what the action was preflop, but we know there was a raise because there was a decent amount of chips already in the middle. With a     already in the spread out Barry Greenstein bet out 2,200 and received a call from a player on the button.

The   then made an appearance on the turn and it was here that Greenstein bet out 5,000. His opponent went into the tank for a minute or so, and then put out 15,000 worth of chips to put Greenstein all in. Greenstein made the call and flipped over    for a pair of queens while his opponent countered and showed    for a set of queens. Greenstein was drawing dead and already brought his book out and signed it, before the   river ever landed.

Veronica Dabul was crippled in a previous hand, and open shoved her last 6,700 on the button. A player in the small blind called, and the hands were opened.

Dabul:   
Opponent:   

Dabul remained ahead after the flop (   ), but the   spiked on the turn, giving her opponent a leading pair of aces. The   hit the river to give him two pair just for kicks, and Dabul was eliminated from the tournament.

She rapped the tabled, wished her opponents the best of luck, then exited the Amazon Room.
