Jessica Dawley
The pace of eliminations slowed with the money bubble in the near future and Jessica Dawley took a chance to double up short stack.
She moved all in for 49,000 after Cory Blum opened to 14,000. It folded back around to him and he called to put her at risk.
Dawley: Blum:
Dawley was way ahead and the flop was safe enough.
“Hold,” Dawley implored.
Her plea was ignored as the dealer put the on the turn to push Blum into the lead. Dawley was halfway out of her seat but sat back down when the river completed the suck\resuck portion of the hand.
Level 17 came to an end after the hand and the 74 remaining players went on break while the 500 denom chips were colored up.

Chris Moorman
Event 8 is creeping up on the money bubble before the first break and Chris Moorman is making his move. The WSOP and WPT winner began the day with 93,000 but moved his stack up to 347,000 in the first two levels.
Moorman is always a threat at any point in a tournament but very dangerous with a lot of chips.

Adam Levy
We caught up with the action on Table 5 with the board complete and reading . Adam Levy was facing a bet that was bigger than his 39,000 stack and he did not seem pleased. He checked his cards, tossed in a few calling chips, and was definitely not pleased when his opponent turned over .
Levy showed his all-in hand, , and his full house was no good.
His elimination dropped the field to 84 players as the money bubble nears with 72 getting paid.

Michael Tureniec
With the board reading , Michael Tureniec put out a stack of 5K chips from the big blind worth 115,000, enough to cover his opponent. He thought for a minute and tossed in his last 65,000 with the better hand. At the moment.
Tureniec: Opponent:
It looked like Tureniec, our WPTDeepStacks Immokalee (hosted here), would ship some chips across the table but the dealer put the out there on the turn. Tureniec improved to queens up and it held after the river to send his opponent out.

2018 Rock ‘N’ Roll Poker Open Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, Florida Event 11 $360 No-Limit Hold’em Six-Max Entries: 108 Prize Pool: $32,400 November 21, 2018
Matt Silva wins $360 no-limit hold’em six-max
Matt Silva closed out the $360 no-limit hold’em six-max final table just in the nick of time. Silva won his second Hard Rock trophy in the early hours of Wednesday morning, just three hours before his flight was scheduled to depart.
In a heads-up deal with Hamid Kashvari, Silva took down the only six-max event on the 2018 RRPO schedule and earned $7,790 for his efforts. Kashvari earned $6,715.
When the final table was down to four-handed play, it was Kashvari with the chip lead, but over time, Silva went on a heater, overtook him, and opened up a sizable chip lead of his own before starting heads-up play with about even stacks.
Silva picked up pocket aces against Kashvari’s ace-five and all the money got in preflop. Silva’s aces held up, he took a nearly 10-to-1 chip lead and he never looked back.
“It was just a very long final table. He had me slightly outchipped and we played hands and I ended up winning,” said Silva after his victory. “It sounds crazy, but it was a long final table and I just grinded it out I guess.”
After a double up from Kashvari, Silva offered a deal to end the tournament a little earlier. Kashvari accepted the offer, which meant Silva would be in no trouble of missing his flight home to Charlotte.
The poker pro recently moved back to Charlotte from Tampa in order to be closer to friends and family. With his travel plans taking him away from Hard Rock, the tournament grinder won’t be returning for the WPT Main Event after Thanksgiving.
The final table also featured Raminder Singh, who was looking to win his second trophy in three days. Singh took down the $1,100 no-limit hold’em event on Sunday in a heads-up deal with Travis Jackson.
Singh ended up finishing fourth for $2,640. Mitchell Lekarczyk, who finished fifth, won a WSOP Circuit ring in the $400 no-limit hold’em monster stack event at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek last September.
The 108-entry field paid out the top 18 spots. Here are the results:
1st: Matt Silva – $7,790* 2nd: Hamid Kashvari – $6,715* 3rd: Lukas Pribyl – $3,825 4th: Raminder Singh – $2,640 5th: Mitchell Leksarczyk – $1,880 6th: Raymond D’Argenio – $1,380 7th: Jose Costanzo – $1,050 8th: Nir Peleg – $1,050 9th: Steven Cohen – $825 10th: Unclaimed 11th: Oliver Kong – $675 12th: Richard Whitebrook – $675 13th: Andrew Stevenson – $570 14th: Randal Fernandez – $570 15th: Dolphus Powers – $505 16th: Ira Schwartz – $505 17th: Troy Bercot – $460 18th: Gavin O’Rourke – $460
