Stammen Caught Bluffing But Chops Before Break

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Keven Stammen bet 1,500 into two opponents on {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} out of the small blind and a player in middle position called. On the {9-Spades} river, Stammen fired again for 4,000 and his opponent called fairly quickly.

Stammen showed {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} for ace high but his opponent had an identical {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Players are now on break for 15 minutes.

Reiman Rocketing Up

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Ty Reiman just busted Nick Pupillo in a pot we didn't see, and he dragged a huge pot, stacking around 140,000 after the hand. That total certainly puts him among the leaders if not pacing the field at this early stage.

Gaspard Bests Pupillo in Three-Bet Pot

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Prince Gaspard
Prince Gaspard

Nick Pupillo opened for 1,300 in the cutoff and Prince Gaspard made it 3,000 on his left. They went heads up to {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} and Pupillo check-called 4,300. On the {8-Clubs} turn, he check-called 5,000 more. On the {4-Clubs} river, Gaspard fired a final shell of 10,000.

Pupillo shook his head and Gaspard held out his hand after flicking in the chips, like a basketball player holding a follow through.

"Don't look at me, look at the hand," Gaspard said. "That's my follow through."

Pupillo thought it over and splashed in a call, but he couldn't beat Gaspard's {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

"I'm the worst black player to ever play this game," Gaspard declared, turning to Ty Reiman. "Ain't I the worst black player you've ever seen?"

"I plead the fifth," Reiman said.

Miles Busted

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

We found TK Miles all in for about 5,000 with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} in front of him, the board reading {10-}{9-}{4-}{4-} with two clubs. An opponent with {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs} had him at risk, though we didn't see when the money went in. The river was a {j-} and Miles headed straight to reenter and then grabbed a new seat at Table 2.

Ralph Massey Unlucky Versus Puccio

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, three players checked to Mike Puccio on the button, and he bet 5,000 into about 6,500. The small blind called, another player folded, and Ralph Massey woke up with a big raise to 19,000 in the hijack. Puccio jammed for 36,900 and Massey snap-called after the other player folded.

Ralph Massey: {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Mike Puccio: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Massey had the best of it with top two but it ran out {j-Spades}, {j-Hearts} to give Puccio jacks up and a double.
