Billirakis Jumping Right In After WInning Gold In Event #3

Livello 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Steve Billirakis was the last player to enter this event, putting the final number of entrants up to 126. Billirakis just won his second gold bracelet in Event #3: €5,300 Pot-Limit Omaha. He won his first gold bracelet back in 2007 in the $5,000 World Championship Mixed Hold'em event and over $530,000 in cash.

We'll keep an eye on him and see how he does here today. One thing is for sure, the kid is a grinder.

Tony G Doubles Amidst Controversy

We picked up the action on the {K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop in a pot between Tony G and Andrew Robl. Tony G was up first and checked to Robl. Robl fired 1,600 and Tony G made the call.

The turn brought the {3-Spades} and Tony G checked to his opponent a second time. Robl bet 4,200 after some thought and Tony G called.

The river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds} and this is where things really got interesting. Tony G had checked and Robl was in the tank. He took about a minute and then bet 11,000 with one T10,000 blue chip and one T1,000 yellow chip. After action was back on him for a few seconds, Tony G grabbed the same two chips from his stack, announced "I'm all in," and then dropped the 11,000 across the line.

Robl, who had large Beats by Dre headphones on, immediately turned his hand over and exposed the {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a straight. Right away, Tony G piped up and reiterated that he said he was all in. Robl turned his hand back over so it was face down again and after some brief discussion, the floor was called.

After everything was explained to the floor staff, the ruling was that Tony G's move was completely legal and Robl had the choice to either call or fold to the extra amount. Tony G was all in for 23,150, so it was another 13,150 for Robl to see the showdown. Robl didn't agree with the ruling and asked for a higher floor person to be called. This is when head World Series of Poker Tournament Director Jack Effel was brought over. Robl was making the argument that Tony G needed to physically put his chips across the line, but Tony G had verbally announced all in before he put any chips out.

Effel heard the full story and then ruled that Tony G's bet was legal and live. Robl now had the choice to either call or fold to the raise. Because Robl had tabled his hand for everyone to see, it was also ruled that while he was making his decision, his hand must be turned back over. He did so and thought for about 30 seconds longer. Finally, he made the call.

Tony G revealed the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flush to beat Robl's straight. On top of sending over the chips to double up Tony G, Robl was issued a one-orbit penalty for prematurely exposing his hand with action pending.

There's a valuable lesson to be learned here about wearing headphones at the table. Although we're not the authority to rule for or against headphones at the poker table, we do know that every player must be wary of the mistakes that can be made without being able to hear at the table. In this case, Robl suffered greatly due to his inability to hear Tony G's verbal all-in declaration.

McDonald's Set Beats Negreanu

From middle position, Mike McDonald raised to 750. Daniel Negreanu called in the next seat and Davidi Kitai called from the cutoff seat. Everyone else folded and the dealer ran out the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. McDonald was up first and bet 1,425. Negreanu called and Kitai folded.

On the {A-Clubs} turn card, McDonald fired 2,525 and Negreanu called again.

The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds} and McDonald bet 4,125. Negreanu checked back at his hand and said, "Just want to make sure I have what I think I have," and then called.

McDonald tabled the {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a full house and Negreanu mucked.

Lisandro Chips Up

Livello 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jeff Lisandro may have arrived late to this one, but he got right in on the action in this pot against Davidi Kitai.

With the board reading {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Lisandro check-raised a bet of 775 from Kitai to 2,100. Kitai made the call.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Lisandro fired 3,000. Kitai called.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Lisandro bet 4,500. Kitai mucked and Lisandro picked up the pot.

Still No Hellmuth

Livello 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

That's right folks, he's still yet to make his way to the felt in this one. He was wandering the hallway during dinner break, so he could have registered and is just taking his time to get in on the action. We'll let you know if and when he gets here.
