Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Sergio Loureiro was eliminated while John Botticello essentially doubled his short stack, Michael Renna was moved to balance the field.
Andrew Porter then opened to 3,500 and was called by John Scrimenti as well as Matthew Silberzweig in the big blind. They checked all the way to the A♦9♠2♠3♠J♥ river.
Only Silberzweig check-called a bet of 4,000 by Porter, who showed the Q♥8♥ for a bluff. That was beaten by the 10♦9♦ of Silberzweig, who pulled back to the starting stack.
"Oh man, this one is going on the blog?" Porter joked and George St. Lawrence mentioned that it was "good for the table image" of Porter.
