Day 6 Live Updates

Break Break Break 8 months ago

We've reached that point in the proceedings where they take a break every other hand. Don't worry though, the cards are back in the air again...for now.

Century Club! 8 months ago

We've just played the 100th hand at this final table and action remains four-handed, meaning we've lost one soul in the first hundred hands of play.

Vadim Trincher is chipleader, though he has been seemingly unable to either gain or lose chips thus far, despite having played his normal active style of play.

Amnon Filippi is the short stack. The New Yorker made a million-chip all-in shove preflop before the last TV break, but though Lenny Cortellino gave the matter some thought, no call was eventually forthcoming.

Filippi has never finished better than fourth at a WPT final table and will need to chip up if he's going to eclipse that mark here at Foxwoods.

And we just had another chopped pot, a cheap disappointment that resulted from Matt Casterella and Trincher both having a jack on an A-10-2-Q-K board.

All-in on the river, a brief moment of excitement and then the inevitable letdown.

Get to the Chopper! 8 months ago

In this update, we're going to tell you about a chopped pot.

Vadim Trincher raised to 100,000 and Amnon Filippi made the call on the button.

The flop came Td 9s 6d and both players checked. 

The turn was the 6c and Trincher bet out 130,000. Filippi flat-called and the river was the Ts, sending the crowd into the usual paroxysms of awe/joy/rage/whatever.

So Trincher bet out 500,000 and Filippi instantly moved all-in. Trincher made the call, and turned up pocket sixes for quads. The boy was out of the tournament!  and yeah, they both had tens. Bo-ring.
