Championnat de poker du Sud
Jour 2
Par Tom Bostic
Quite possibly the most grueling Day Two of any tournament in World Poker Tour history, the 27 remaining players are sure to sleep well tonight. A mere 16 hours after the first cards were dealt, play wrapped up at 4:03am local time with the elimination of Mike Leah. He was the last player in a long line of eliminations today that started all the way back with 175ème place.
La récompense pour le 27 battle weary, hardened poker souls? A guaranteed $13,186 and a shot at a WPT title along with the million dollar first place money that comes with it. Among those still competing for that prize are Hevad Khan, Vanessa Rousso, Bernard Lee, Ted Lawson et JOrdan Morgan. Morgan, who was almost crippled late in the last level of play, is hoping to have a monumental comeback similar to the one Bill Edler experienced last year at the Gulf Coast Poker Championship at this casino. Edler was also crippled in the 14th level of play, but was eventually able to come all the way back to win the title.

Rejoignez-nous à 12pm, central time, for action from the final three tables of the Southern Poker Championship.
Le final 27 players count, bag, and tag their chips and go off to get some sleep. The official chip counts are coming soon. Because of the late night, play won't begin tomorrow until 2:00 après-midi.
During hand-for-hand play on the money bubble with 28 players remaining, Mike Leah raises from the cutoff, Allen Carter moves all in from the big blind, and Leah tanks for several minutes, checking on the action at the other tables to see if anyone is likely to bust. The other tables don't offer much hope, and Leah calls with [AdKs]. Carter shows [KcQd], and Leah is a dominant favorite to double up here.
Le flop arrive [Jd9h4s], and Leah retains the lead while Carter picks up a gutshot straight draw. The turn card is -- the [10d]. Carter turns a king-high straight to take the lead. Leah needs a queen on the river to make a higher straight.
La carte rivière est la [8s], et Allen Carter remporte le pot avec une quinte hauteur roi.
Mike Leah is eliminated in 28th place, finishing one spot out of the money. The other 27 les joueurs sont assurés d'avoir au moins $13,186.
Jordan Morgan est forcé à all-in depuis la petite blinde avec [7c3h], et il doit surmonter Allen Carter [6h6s] pour rester en vie. Le conseil vient [AcQs10d7h4d], et Morgan retourne une paire de sept pour remporter le pot, quadruplant jusqu'à 16,000 en chips.
Après cette main, Johnny Grooms annonce que le dernier joueur à avoir remporté un événement WPT sur cette propriété (Bill Edler) a été paralysé pendant ce même niveau de blindes (4,000-8,000) et a réussi à gagner les mains suivantes pour entrer en lice avant de revenir pour remporter l'ensemble du tournoi.
En entendant cela, Jordan Morgan a souri.
Dans un surélevé pot between Bobby Suer (button) and Jordan Morgan (big blind), the flop comes [Kh8s4d]. Morgan bets 42,000, and Suer calls. The turn card is the [6c], and we missed the action, but both players are all in. Suer shows [KcKs] for top set, but he's behind Morgan's [7s5s] -- Morgan turned a gutshot straight.
But the river card paired the board with the [4c], giving Bobby Suer a full house to win the pot, doublant son stack à environ 422,000. Jordan Morgan is crippled down to just 4,000 en chips.
Hevad Khan raises from middle position to 20,000, and Jena Delk tries to make a standard reraise from late position, but she puts out the wrong chips. It's ruled that she has to make a min-raise to 32,000, so she does.
Vanessa Rousso calls from the button, and the small blind reraises to 120,000. Hevad Khan folds, and Jena Delk looks at her stack and moves all in for 211,000.
Vanessa is stunned, and unsure of how to read the situation. She says, "This is that situation you hear about, where you have to lay it down." She says she's uncertain of how to handle Jena's "mistaken" min-raise. Was it a move, or did she really grab the wrong chips? Vanessa Rousso thinks for about two minutes before she folds, leaving herself about 349,000.
Now the small blind goes into the tank for another minute or two, finally saying, "Nice hand," and he calls off most of his stack with just 65,000 behind. The small blind shows [QhQs], but he's dominated by Jena's [AdAh].
Le conseil vient [Jd5c5sKh10d], and Jena Delk's pocket aces hold up to win the pot, doubling her stack to about 490,000.
Après la main, Vanessa Rousso dit s'être couchée [AsKs].
Paula Halata, short stack, a été éliminée du tournoi par Jusin Phillips. Peu de joueuses ont jamais été aussi enthousiastes à l'idée de participer à un tournoi, alors qu'elle a célébré sa sortie avec un peu de joie : "Ouais ! Je suis arrivée jusqu'ici !"
Un joueur en début de position relance à 18,000 and Hevad Khan makes the call from the cut off as does Jena Delk on the button. The small blind folds and Vanessa Rousso makes it 85,000 to go from the big blind. Everyone folds and LadyMaverick shows that she wasn't trying to put in a squeeze play as she turns over pocket kings.
Tyler Smith is all in under the gun for 219,000 with [QcQs] against Soheil Shamseddin's [10c10h]. The board comes [Ah9d9s6c2s], and Smith's pocket queens hold up.
Tyler Smith doubles up to about 460,000, while Soheil Shamseddin drops down to about 240,000.
Keven Stammen, petit stack, a été éliminé du tournoi.
A player is all in preflop with [AhQh] against Bernard Lee's 3-3. Lee's opponent makes a flush to win the pot, doubling up and knocking Bernard Lee's stack down to about 300,000.
Niveau 13 se termine et les joueurs prennent une 10-minute break. With 34 joueurs restants, le stack moyen est d'environ 250,000.
Stewart Yancik is all in preflop with [AsKc] against Tyler Smith's [KhKs]. The board comes [9c8h5c3dAh] -- and Yancik leaps up and cheers when the ace saves his life on the river. Smith is disgusted, knocking over his chair as he leaves the immediate area (but not the tournament).
The chip stacks are counted down, and Tyler Smith is left with about 140,000. Stewart Yancik doubles up to about 610,000.
