Team ChipMeUp Live Reporting - Day 1d

Rockets blast Cowboys

 

Ed Sevillano facing a raise and a re-raise in front of him, found himself in the fortunate position of looking down at pocket aces. Putting the 4th bet in, he found himself with one caller. The flop came J-9-9. He lead out for 4k and his opponent called. The turn brought another 9. Ed checked and his opponent shoved all in and he called with his aces, his opponent had Ks. Ed is now up to 49k ! Andrew Barter is up to 34k, everyone else is close to even.

Mitchell Lets One Go

Will Mitchell is a friendly young Australian who is a regular on ChipMeUp under the username "wrkngball".

Mitchell is thrilled to be a part of the WSOP Main Event, but after a bright start, he's just taken a small hit to be back below his starting stack. Will started off the day picking up a nice pot on 9-7-5 board, when he decided to push all in on the flop forcing his opponent to fold.

In a hand a little later, Mitchell raised under the gun and the fired bets of 1,800 on the flop and 2,900 on the turn, before checking the action over to his opponent on the river on a board of {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. His opponent moved all in for 10,275 and Mitchell was forced to let it go to slip down to 28,000 chips.

Lewis Chipped Down

 

On a board reading {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spade s}{9-Hearts}, Chip Me Up sponsored player David Lewis called an opponent's all in.

Lewis: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Drawing to any ace, nine, six or five to take the lead, Lewis would miss everything when the {J-Clubs} fell on the river to see him slip to 12,700 in chips.

Other Counts

Scott Neuman has slipped to 18k after missing his straight flush draw. Dwayne Stacey was last seen on 27k.

Vinny Moscati Busts
Unfortunately we lost a Team ChipMeUp member as Vinny hit the rail.

Will Finds a Way

Will Mitchell is earning some grins over at Table #2. And some chips.

The large crane on which is attached an ESPN camera was just now doing its majestic sweep of the room, capturing those establishing shots that often open a new show or segment. As the break was concluding, the camera eased its way over to Mitchell's table, and he took the opportunity to hold up a hand-made sign bearing an earnestly-penned plea:

"HOMELESS PLEASE FOLD."

Just after play resumed, Mitchell opened with a raise to 950 from the hijack seat. The player in the cutoff called, the others folded, and the flop came {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Heart s}. Mitchell checked, his opponent bet 1,500, and Mitchell instantly called. Both checked the {7-Hearts} turn.

The river brought the {Q-Diamonds}. Mitchell quickly announced a bet of 3,000. His opponent, probably more influenced by the cards than Mitchell's sign, let it go.

Mitchell is at 44,000.

Comeback trail

David Lewis is leading the Team ChipMeUp comeback trail with a spirited fightback. Down
to 12k in level 3 he is now up to 47k! Andrew Barter picked up a small pot when he flopped
a full boat, unfortunately for him his opponent was holding squadush. Scott Neuman has picked
up a few small pots and is up to 21k after dropping as low as 12k.

Dwayne Stacey who disapeared after moving tables, we have just learnt he is up to a
whopping 82k !

The "Homeless Man" strikes again

 

Will Mitchell raised before the flop, got reraised, then called. The flop came ten-high, Mitchell bet 3,000, his opponent raised to 10,000, Mitchell shoved all in for about twice that, and his opponent let it go.

Mitchell showed his pocket tens as he dragged the pot. He's back up to 35,000 now.
