Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Break Time/Updated Chip Counts

Level 27 is winding down, and players will be posting blinds of 50,000/100,000/10,000 upcoming.  The chip average with 11 players remaining is going to be 50 big blinds, which shouldn't be much of a shock anymore.  The mix of price point, structure, and scheduling has grown these events to points many never thought.

Here are the updated chip counts:


Table 57:

1. Ray Ross - 4,800,000
2. Mike Shasho - 3,300,000
3. Joe Gola - 7,300,000
4. Zack DePew - 5,500,000
5. Rocco Luciano - 7,200,000

Table 58:

1. Mike Kiotis - 5,300,000
2. Juan Valdez - 6,000,000
3. Joe McKeehen - 3,900,000
4. Maggie Morris - 3,000,000
5. Mark Rebuck - 6,400,000
6. Ted Ely - 3,700,000

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 12th Place - Zimmerman ($4,675)

Level 27 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 11
Chip Average: 5,000,000

Seth Zimmerman (New York, NY)

Seth Zimmerman was the short stack of players remaining, ended up getting it all-in against Joe Gola, who had just won a 4,500,000 pot from Ray Ross the hand prior.  Zimmerman's AQ ran into the AK of Gola, and he would fall just short of making his second Big Stax final table.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Updated Chip Counts

Here are the updated counts for the remaining 12 players:

Table 57:

1. Seth Zimmerman - 2,000,000
2. Ray Ross - 5,600,000
3. Mike Shasho - 4,100,000
4. Joe Gola - 3,400,000
5. Zack DePew - 5,200,000
6. Rocco Luciano - 7,300,000

Table 58:

1. Mike Kiotis - 5,600,000
2. Juan Valdez - 3,900,000
3. Joe McKeehen - 4,500,000
4. Maggie Morris - 2,000,000
5. Mark Rebuck - 7,800,000
6. Ted Ely - 3,100,000

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 14th Place - Laieta ($4,234)/13th Place - Deissler ($4,234)

Level 27 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 12
Chip Average: 4,600,000

The action continued to move at a pace nobody could of thought, as two more players busted within minutes of the last.  Chris Laieta was all-in pre flipping with Ray Ross (AK < QQ) to bust in 14th place.  And once again while that hand was playing out, it was Pierre Deissler (66 < 88) busting to Mark Rebuck.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Quick Dinner Bustouts/ 16th Place Skolchilo ($3,863) - 15th Place Walker ($4,234)

Level 27 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 14
Chip Average: 4,000,000

It was only a few hands back from dinner before we saw some quick action.  Both Antonio Walker and Igor Skochilo were all-in and at risk at the same time.  It was the 10 10 of Ted Ely flipping with Walker's AK (Walker started the hand with 1,275,000).  At the other Table 57 it was the 77 of Zack DePew against the KK of Igor.

Antonio's hand ran out first, and with the Q 6 8 J runout, he did gain some extra outs on the turn, but the river would give the pot to Ely.  Igor was ahead when at risk, but watched as his opponent gained outs on a 4 5 5 6 board, and hit a seven to make a full house.  Skochilo only 30,000 less than Walker to start the hand, and earned $3,863 for 16th place.

Walker earned $4,234 for his 15th place finish.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Back From Dinner/17th-19th Places ($3,863)

On the last hand before dinner break, we lost Parx cash game regular Jonathan Sonne ($3,863):

17. Jonathan Sonne (Philadelphia, PA)
18. William Daloisi (Staten Island, NY)
19. Robert Santora (Bensalem, PA)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Dinner Break

Players are about to go on a (75) minute dinner break, and will return at approximately 9:20pm.  Once the tournament officials have verified chips left in the tournament, we will post updated chip counts of the remanning field.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 18th Place - Daloisi ($3,863)

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 17
Chip Average: 3,300,000

William Daloisi (Staten Island, NY) was one of the shortest stacks remaining, and would end up getting sent home only moments after finding his new seat (AJ < AQ of Ray Ross).

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Final 18

Here are the new seating assignments for the final 18 players:

Table 57:

1. Seth Zimmerman
2. Ray Ross
3. Igot Skochilo
4. Mike Shasho
5. Chris Laieta
6. William Daloisi
7. Joe Gola
8. Zack Depew
9. Rocco Luciano

Table 58:

1. Mike Kiotis
2. Juan Valdez
3. Joe McKeehen
4. Antonio Walker
5. Maggie Morris
6. Mark Rebuck
7. Jonathan Sonne
8. Pierre Deissler
9. Ted Ely

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Santora Takes Bad Beat To Finish 19th ($3,493)

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 18
Chip Average: 3,200,000

Just as the hand with McKeehen/Zimmerman was finishing, everyone from Table 57 erupted.  Juan Valdez had limped with AJ and found himself in big trouble after he called Robert Santora's all-in after a 5 5 J flop.  Robert turned over 2 5 (flopped trips), and Valdez would only stay alive with running aces or a jack.  The turn brought a brick, so it would be a jack that Valdez would need on the river…and that's exactly what he got!  Juan hits his two outer on the river to eliminate Santora, and send the remaining 18 players to their new seats.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Standard McKeehen

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 19 
Chip Average: 3,000,000 (50 big blinds)

This time it's Joe McKeehen getting super lucky, as he gets it in behind with 10 10 against Seth Zimmerman and his K K.  The flop runs out clean for Seth, but he would slam the table as a 10 spikes the turn, giving Joe the hand and eventually giving him the hand (and a full double to over 4,000,000).

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Miracle Maggie Morris

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 19 
Chip Average: 3,000,000 (50 big blinds)

Maggie Morris once again found herself one of the shorter stacks, and was in pretty bad shape when she shoved the flop of 2 6 6 against Mike Kiotis.  Kiotis would make the call tabling JJ and Morris would be looking for help with her A3.  The turn would be no help, but the table reaction was clear that Maggie spiked an ace on the river to double up to 3,500,000 and keep us at 19 players.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Chris Rich Sent Home In 20th Place ($3,493)

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 19
Chip Average: 3,000,000 (50 big blinds)

Chris Rich was hovering around the 10 big blind mark, and managed to get in all-in pre against Mike Kiotis.  It was the 22 of Rich flipping with the AJ of Kiotis, and the J on the flop would make things very difficult for Rich.  Chris couldn't find his two-outer, and after the next elimination we will once again re-draw players (final 18).

Mike Kiotis - 6,000,000
Chris Rich - Eliminated in 20th place ($3,493)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Cervone Busts In 21st Place ($3,493)

Level 26 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 20
Chip Average: 2,600,000 (43 big blinds)

Maggie Morris was once our chip leader earlier in the day, but since losing a large pot to Ray Ross in Level 24, she trended downward.  Morris got a well needed double up only moments ago as one of the shorter stacks, and only a few hands later sent home Mike Cervone, as her AK > AQ.  

Maggie Morris - 3,400,000
Mike Cervone - Eliminated in 21st Place ($3,493)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 22nd-24th Places ($3,070)

The following players have cashed in the event for $3,070:

22. Christopher Horter (Bensalem, PA)
23. Victor Otero (Manalapan, NJ)
24. David Elliot (Tinton Falls, NJ)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Break Time

Players are about to go on a (15) minute break, and will return to Level 25 and blinds of 30,000/60,000/10,000 (chip average of 2,500,000).  They will return to play the level and then go on a (75) minute dinner break.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Otero Eliminated In 23rd Place ($3,070)

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 22
Chip Average: 2,500,000 (62 big blinds)

In another blind v. blind situation, Seth Zimmerman and Victor Otero get it all-in pre-flop.  Unfortunately for Otero his KK < AK of Zimmerman, as Seth flops an ace and sends him home in 23rd place.  Victor was another player who was primarily under the radar throughout these later stages in the tournament, but was able to maneuver his way through to this point.  Otero collect $3,070 for his finish, while Seth chips up to just under 3,000,000.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Elliot Misses Big…Busts In 24th ($3,070)

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 23
Chip Average: 2,400,000

In a blind v. blind situation between Dave Elliot and Jonathan Sonne, all the chips get in with Elliot's tournament at risk:

Elliot: K♥ 5♥              Sonne: 10 2

Flop: 10♥ J♣ 2♥

Turn: Q♦

River: 8♠

Elliot would turn even more outs, but would whiff the river and be sent home in 24th place.  Sonne would chip up over 3,200,000, putting himself above average and in the middle of the remaining pack.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 25th-27th Places ($2,646)

The following players cashed in the event for $2,646:

25. Nancy Martin (Washington Crossing, PA)
26. Veronica Rivera (Clearwater, FL)
27. Russ Dunlevy (Gardenville, PA)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Nancy Martin Eliminated In 25th ($2,646)

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 24
Chip Average: 2,300,000

Nancy Martin (Washington Crossing, PA) was dealing with what was a bottom five stack for most of the day, managing to do her best with what she had.  Nancy would end up pushing the button short stacked, and was called by Zack Depew from the big blind:

Martin: A J                 Depew: Q 9

Flop: 9 9 8

Turn: 6

River: x

Nancy would collect her belongings and head to the cage to collect the $2,646 for her finish.  She is one of the most well liked players in the community, and got a big hug from Seth Zimmerman as she made her way to the podium.  We are sure to see Nancy once again throughout the series, and wish her the best of luck.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): The Final 25

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): It's The Roc

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 26
Chip Average: 2,100,000 (53 big blinds)

Rocco Luciano

There was an all-in announcement from Table 59, and it was Rocco Luciano who had gone all-in, putting Russ Dunlevy in a position to decide on his tournament.  The board was K 6 7 4, and Rocco has raised Dunlevy's turn bet enough to put him all-in.  While Dunlevy was waiting for a count, he was saying out loud how he didn't think he could fold the hand.  Russ would announce a call and immediately ask Rocco if he had a set, to which Luciano would table 77 and the answer would be right in front of him.  Luciano would fade one of the final two aces remaining, and jump up to over 5,000,000.

Nathan Tuthill (Fredricksburg, VA) would also be eliminated during that hand at an outer table, leaving the remaining 26 players to find new seats.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Like Joe…If We Could Be Like Joe

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 29
Chip Average: 1,921,000 (49 big blinds)

5985000 going to 40k bb
— Joe McKeehen (@dude904) February 24, 2014

What Joe McKeehen is forgetting to mention in that Tweet is that he is currently the chip leader of the 29 players remaining.  As mentioned in the most recent post, players will re-draw tables with 27 left.

Eric McCarty's miracle run from the moment he quadrupled early in Day 1C is over, as he's eliminated only two hands back from break (28 remain).

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Going To Break

Players are going on break for (15) minutes, and when they return the blinds in Level 25 will be 20,000/40,000/5,000 (chip average of 50 bigs).  Going into break we had a big pot brewing between Maggie Morris and Ray Ross.  Morris opened UTG to 65,000 and was three-bet to 145,000 by Robert Santora on her direct left.  Action folded to Ross who flatted, as did Morris behind.  The three players would see a flop of Q 10 3, which would be checked to Ross in position.  After Ross fired 370,000, he was immediately raised to 740,000 by Morris.  Santora would fold and it would now be Ross who was deliberate in his thought process before three-betting to 1,950,000.  After Maggie thought for about 3-4 minutes, she sent the cards into the muck.

While the final hand of the level between those two was finishing up, we lost both Julie Thomas and Mike Kalfa.  Updated chip counts will come shortly once the re-draw at 27 players is completed (29 remain at the moment.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Zambanini And Har Bust Simultaneously

Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)

Players Remaining: 32

Chip Average: 1,900,000

The first elimination would occur at Table 58 in a blind versus blind situation between Matthew Zambanini and Ted Ely:

Ely: AK               Zambanini: A4

Flop: J 8 6

Turn: 3

River: 5

Ted Ely - 2,800,000

Matthew Zambanini - 34th Place ($2,276)

As that hand was finishing we would see Shing Har all-in against Maggie Morris:

Morris: AK              Har: AJ

Flop: J 8 6

Turn: K

River: 10

Maggie Morris - 4,400,000

Shing Har - 33rd Place ($2,276)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Gulati Eliminated in 35th Place ($2,276)

Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 34
Chip Average 1,700,000

Gulati Ponders A Call

On a board of 5 7 9 6, Tarun Gulati (Glastonbury, CT) was left with a decision for his tournament.  Robert Santora has pushed the turn, which left Gulati thinking for a solid few minutes.  Tarun would eventually take the pile of yellow chip he was shuffling in his hand and drop them across the line.  He would be drawing dead once Santora turned over 88 (turned straight), and Gulati would collect his things.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): 37th-45th Places ($1,958)

The following players have cashed in the tournament for $1,958:

37. Peter Chedid (Asbury Park, NJ)
38. Daniel Szetenderowicz (Philadelphia, PA)
39. Steven Sarmiento (Queens, NY)
40. Joseph Shaw (Philadelphia, PA)
41. Brian Dougherty (Philadelphia, PA)
42. Walter Jones (Newark, DE)
43. David Wheeler (Hamilton, NJ)
44. Daryl Black (Voorhees, NJ)
45. Justin Friedman (Yardley, PA)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): McKeehen Busts Chedid

Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 36
Chip Average: 1,600,000

Joe McKeehen continues to climb the leader board as he flats Peter Chedid's all-in (330,000) with an original raiser behind.  McKeehen would turn over AA against the AJ of Chedid, and Joe would push his stack above 3,100,000.  With that we are breaking another table, leaving us with four tables of nine (36 players).

Joe McKeehen - 3,100,000
Peter Chedid - 37th Place ($1,958)

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Rivera Doubles, Sarmiento Busts

Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 37
Chip Average: 1,505,000

Rivera Collects Her Double

We walked over just in time to see Veronica Rivera (Clearwater, FL) double to 1,250,000, but she still sits as one of the short stacks of the field.  

As that hand was ending, there was an all-in hand between Maggie Moriss and Steven Sarmiento , with Steven's tournament at risk:

Morris: 9 9           Sarmiento: J J

Flop: 6 7 10

Turn: 8

River: x

Sarmiento would be eliminated in 38th place after greeting to unfortunate side of variance, taking home $1,958.  This is Sarmiento's second deep run in our Big Stax 300, as he chopped last series' event for just under $40,000.

Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Top Five Stacks
