Valuetown For Varonen
Livello 17
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Under the gun, Garrett Adelstein opened to 6,500, and Lauri Varonen defended his big blind. Heads-up, the flop came 
, and Varonen check-called a continuation bet of 7,500. On the 
turn, he check-called another 18,500, and Adelstein bet 33,500 on the 
river. Varonen called him down.
Adelstein showed up 
for kings and queens, and his two pair was the winner. Varonen mucked, and he slips back to 126,000 while Adelstein advances to 395,000.
Hernandez Picks Off a Bluff
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
There was a raise to 6,000 and two calls when it reached Francisco Hernandez in the big blind. He popped it up to 23,000 and the first two players folded. Ishak Noyan had made the call from the small blind and made the call again to see the flop.
The cards came down 
and both players checked. The turn was the and Noyan bet out for 26,000. Hernandez made the call and the river was the . Noyan bet out again, this time for 43,000 and Hernandez hit the tank. When he emerged, he had decided to call and Noyan flipped over 
. Hernandez tabled 
which was good enough to rake in the pot.
He now has 240,000 while Noyan falls to just 65,000.
Volpe Power
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Darryl Ronconi opened the pot to 6,000, but he wouldn't get to see the flop. Ryan Young three-bet to 18,000, and Ben Volpe reraised to 39,500. Young was the only one to call, and the two of them took a 
flop. Volpe continued out with a smallish bet of 29,500, and Young flatted to see the turn. Check-check, and the 
landed on the river. Volpe checked it again, and Young took his cue to make a bet at the pot, 85,000 straight. Volpe toyed with the call for a while, eventually sliding the chips into the middle.
Young threw his cards toward the muck, and Volpe showed down 
to take the pot. He asked to see the folded cards, but the dealer instead grabbed them and pulled them completely into the muck! Volpe was a little miffed by that, and the floor was called over. Young wasn't volunteering any information, and the cards were irretrievable by that point, lost forever in the shuffle.
Volpe doesn't get the information, but he does get the chips, climbing into second place with about 435,000 now.
Spinks Ships Another Big Pot
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Jonathan Spinks has been on a tear in the past few hours, and he has just won a pot that has bumped him into the top 10 of the chip counts. We missed the hand, but as we were walking over, Oscar Kemps was walking away, as 
laid in front of him, and his chips were being moved over to Spinks, who had 
laying in front of him. After stacking his chips, it looks like Spinks is at around 270,000.
Spinks has been getting a massage since dinner break, and one player noted "He hasn't lost a pot since you started massaging him. Can you just like pinch his shoulder or something and put him to sleep?" The whole table got a laugh out of that, including Spinks, and the players went back to work on the next hand.
Sarwer Captures Papola
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Jeff Papola had about 135,000 chips the last time we counted him down, but we just saw him gathering his things and heading out the door. We didn't see the hand, but it's the chip leader Jeff Sarwer stacking the chips, and it looks like he's vaulted all the way up over the half-million chip mark with that knockout.
We'll give him 515,000 as that's the best we can tell.
Arieh Gets There
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
A player raised from the hijack to 7,000 before Josh Arieh moved all in from the cutoff for 45,500. The button, Dylan Linde, moved all in behind him for 84,500 and while Tim Kahlmeyer still had cards in the big blind, the original raiser mucked. Kahlmeyer ended up tank-folding what he claimed to be Ace-King.
Arieh: 
Linde:
When Arieh didn't hit an ace on the 
flop, he stood up and began telling his opponent, "Nice hand." However, he was cut short when the turn was the . The was dealt on the river and just like that Arieh had new life with 105,000. Linde, on the other hand, is crippled down to 40,000.
Once Arieh sat back down, he politely encouraged the original raiser to stop mucking out of turn. He stressed that his folds can effect that action of other players. "It's huuuge," he kept repeating to drive home the point. Ironically, Kahlmeyer chirped in at the end and said that he didn't even know that the player had folded out of turn on this particular occasion but agreed that it should not have happened.
Field Mowed
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Joshua Field opened to 7,000 before Bryan Porter three-bet shoved for 46,500 from the small blind. Field spent a long while considering before making the call. It took so long that Porter appeared to fall asleep or get lost in the music playing through his one earpiece. The dealer had to smack the table with an open palm to get his attention, and Porter tabled 
. Field showed .
The board ran 
, and the ace-high flush works for Porter. He's doubled close to 100,000 now, while Field drops back under 70,000.
One Table From The Money
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
90 players are left, and of those 90, only 81 will be getting paid. We have to lose one more table of players, and given the price for a min cash in this event, we expect that the action will slow down for the next hour or so.
Stein Gets Lucky To Chop
Livello 16
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Sam Stein is one of the hottest players of the 2011 WSOP, and while most of that is no doubt due to his incredible skill, it helps to get lucky from time to time. We just witnessed a perfect example of that, as Stein just survived an all in just a few spots short of the money. Stein got all of his money in preflop against Jason James, who made the call and had Stein dominated.
Stein: 
James:
The flop was a dry one for Stein, coming 
. The turn provided him with outs for a chop, as it came the 
, pairing the board. Sure enough, the hit the river, and both players played their aces to chop the pot and keep Stein's run going in this tournament.
