Event 9 Flight F: Sorel Mizzi Eliminated by Ray Stephens

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 7: 250/500 with a 50 Ante
Flight F Entries: 560

Ray Stephens

Ray Stephens raised to 1,500 from middle position, Sorel Mizzi reraised all in for about 17,000 from the button, and Stephens tanked for a bit before he folded. Mizzi showed pocket deuces.

The following hand, Stephens opened to 1,500 again and Mizzi three-bet shoved for about 19,500 from the cutoff. Stephens called this time with KdKh, leading Mizzi’s Qh7h.

The board came down 9s6s4d9d7c, safe for Stephens to score the elimination.

Ray Stephens – 73,000 (146 bb)
Sorel Mizzi – Eliminated

Event 9 Flight F: Ubaid Habib Doubles Through Jean Gaspard

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 5: 150/300 with a 50 Ante
Flight F Entries: 508

Ubaid Habib

Jean Gaspard opened to 800 under the gun, and action folded around to Mark Manesh on the button, who put out 1,050 chips.

“Floor!”

Since Manesh’s bet was half a legal raise, he was forced to make a min-raise to 1,300 total.

Ubaid Habib protested the ruling for some time from the big blind, then moved all in for 21,475. “F*** this s***,” he said as he pushed his chips forward. Gaspard called with the covering stack, and Manesh eventually folded to leave Habib heads-up for his tournament life.

Gaspard: QhJd
Habib: ThTd

“Wow,” someone at the table said.

“Wow,” said someone else.

The board ran out 8s7s3c7c8h, and Habib’s tens held to earn him a double-up.

“Action table,” Jacquelyn Scott added.

Ubaid Habib – 44,800 (149 bb)
Jean Gaspard – 6,425 (21 bb)

Event 9 Flight F: John Gorsuch vs. Will Givens

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 4: 100/200 with a 25 Ante
Flight F Entries: 427

John Gorsuch opened to 500 in middle position, Will Givens called next to act, and two more players joined the action, including the big blind.

The flop was 8c7h5h. The big blind checked, and Gorsuch continued for 1,500. Givens called, the player in position folded, and the big blind called. The three remaining players saw the turn bring the 6s, and it checked to Givens, who bet 3,000. Only Gorsuch called this time, as the big blind folded out of the way.

Heads-up now, the river was the Ac. Gorsuch checked, then called a bet of 7,000 from Givens.

Givens showed 3c5c for a pair of fives, but Gorsuch’s As4s earned him the pot with an eight-high straight.

John Gorsuch – 45,000 (225 bb)
Will Givens – 11,500 (58 bb)

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 14: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante

Ariel Williams

Flight E came to a close with 132 players remaining and a tie for the end-of-day lead. Ariel Williams picked up the lead late but former SHRPO champ Jake Schwartz made a late run to bag up the same 350,000 as Williams.

We will have the accurate numbers after they complete bagging and will post the full chip counts.

Level 14: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 153 of 676

Jake Schwartz was eliminated during Level 8, but these last six levels have gone exceedingly well for the pro from New York. He returned with a fresh starting stack shortly after his elimination, and he was already sitting with around 170,000 chips when this hand began.

Action folded around to the small blind, who moved all in for about 25,000 in front of Schwartz. “You want to sweat it together?” Schwartz asked from the big blind, leaning over to let the his opponent squeeze along with him. “Oh, that’s very bad,” Schwartz said as he peeled the first card. When he peeled the second, though, he said, “I have to call,” and he did just that.

Schwartz: 2c2h
Small blind: 6d7h

The Kh7d4d flop gave the small blind the lead with a pair of sevens, but Schwartz turned the 2d to retake the lead with a set of deuces. The small blind needed to find a diamond to stay alive, but the river Jc sent him to the rail just before the end of Day 1E.

Jake Schwartz – 197,000 (82 bb)

Event 9 Flight E: Marvin Karlins Doubles Through Sara Hall

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 13: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 189 of 676

Sara Hall opened to 4,200 under the gun, and Marvin Karlins three-bet shoved for 23,500. Hall called, flipping for the knockout.

Hall: AhJh
Karlins: 5s5d

Hall shot out to an early lead on the AdTd7s flop, but Karlins turned the 5c to lock up the pot one card early with a set of fives. Hall was drawing dead to the 2d river, and she was parted with most of her stack as she paid off the double-up.

Marvin Karlins – 51,400 (26 bb)
Sara Hall – 11,200 (6 bb)

Event 9 Flight E: Gabe Flores Doubles Through Carlos Loving

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600 with a 200 Ante
Flight E Players Remaining: 216 of 676

Gabe Flores opened to 3,600 in middle position, and Carlos Loving three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Flores four-bet shoved for 38,400 total, and Loving called to put him at risk.

Flores: AdQh
Loving: AcKh

The JdTd3s flop was pretty clean for Loving, but the Ks turn gave Flores a straight and the come-from-behind lead. Loving was drawing dead to a chop, and the 4c river secured Flores’ double-up with Broadway.

Gabe Flores – 81,000 (51 bb)
Carlos Loving – 8,700 (5 bb)
