Day 3 Live Updates
Carlos Uz Wins the WSOPC Indiana Main Event!
2 years agoAfter an hour or so of heads-up play, Carlos Uz and Marc Fratter have decided to end the tournament on a single hand.
Both players declared all-in and the flop came K♦ Q♦ 7♦. Fratter mucked and tournament directors declared Uz the winner.
Confused? Yeah we were too but we talked to both the players and during the break they agreed to split the whole thing. They will split the prize pool right down the middle except Fratter will take an extra $5,000 and the seat into the WSOP Main Event while Uz will get the WSOPC ring and the title.
Fratter told PokerListings.com, "It would have gone on for hours if we kept playing so we just decided to chop it."
And with that, Carlos Uz is the WSOPC Indiana main event winner. Uz, or the Uzi as we've taken to calling him, was firing on all cylinders when he got to the final table. Uz eliminated most of his competition and was the most dominant player of the day.
Stay tuned for a PL.com exclusive interview with Uz.
Running Blind
2 years agoMarc Fratter and Carlos Uz have decided to spice up the final table. They ran five hands without looking at their cards and betting $10,000 on every street. Fratter came out on top in the luck contest and won three out of the five.
Fratter and Uz have decided to take a break and are on the rail right now talking things over. Talk about fierce competition!
Uz Wins Another Small One
2 years agoCarlo Uz and Marc Fratter both check the entire board of A♠ 8♦ 2♠ 3♥ J♥ all the way to the river and then Fratter bets $15,000 but Uz re-raises to $30,000. Fratter makes the call and shows a three for a pair but Uz shows J-10 for a better pair.
The action is so slow that a railbird has offered to pay out $5 to the next player who bluffs. Sweet!
Uz Wins Small Pot
2 years agoCarlos Uz and Marc Fratter both limp pre-flop and the flop comes 5♦ 4♠ 3♠. Fratter bets $15,000 and Uz calls.
The turn comes 2♠ and both players check. Finally the river falls J♠ and Uz bets out $40,000. After thinking for a bit Fratter lays it down.
Uz shows the 10♠ for the flush and Fratter mentions he had to lay down two pair.
The atmosphere at the final table is very jovial and both players, obviously glad to be there, are showing each other their cards on almost every hand.
Nothing Like Level 14
2 years agoFratter and Uz Chop
2 years agoVito Calluso Eliminated Third ($68,840)
2 years agoVito Calluso got into a race situation with Marc Fratter and it ended up costing him his tournament life. Calluso open-shoved from the button for a little over $100,000 and that sent Marc Fratter, who was in the small blind, into deep thought. After a couple minutes Fratter made the decision to make the call, flipping over A♠ 8♦. Calluso in turn showed 9♦ 9♣ and was in the lead.
The board went Q♣ 10♣ 10♠ 8♣ Q♦ and Fratter triumphed with his ace-kicker plus the board.
We're now heads-up and players are on a 15-minute break as the table is set up for one versus one.
Carlos Uz has approximately $700,000 while Fratter has the slight lead with $740,000.
Terry Ogle Eliminated Fourth ($68,840)
2 years agoThe player who entered today's action as the chip leader has been eliminated. On a flop of 8♦ 6♣ 2♠ Marc Fratter bets $50,000 but Terry Ogle shoves all-in. Fratter calls and flips over 2♥ 2♣ for a set of deuces while Ogle shows 8♥ 2♦ for two-pair. Ogle will need help as we head to the turn. The turn card comes 6♠ and the river finishes out J♠. Ogle finishes fourth, which is good enough for a cool $68,840.
We are now three-handed.
Chris Moore Eliminated Fifth ($41,304)
2 years agoChris Moore has been eliminated by... Carlos Uz. Moore, Uz and Vito Calluso saw a flop of 9♦ 9♥ 6♥ and all three players checked to the turn card of 3♦. All three players checked the turn and the river fell K♥ and Moore bet $30,000. Uz re-raises to $60,000 which covers Moore. Moore sighs in disappointment but makes the call for only $30,000 more. Moore shows Q♣ 9♠ for a set of nines but Uz has 10♥ 2♥ for the flush. Moore has busted from the tournament.
Fratter Takes $40,000 from Uz
2 years agoChris Viox Eliminated Sixth ($34,420)
2 years agoCarlos "The Uzi" Uz has just taken out another player. Chris Viox shoved with Q♥ 3♥ for his last $79,000 from the small blind and Uz must have had a good read because he called with A♥ 9♦.
The board goes K♥ 8♠ 4♠ J♠ 6♦ and Viox is shaking his head and walking to the payout booth.
Uz has nearly $700,000 chips and all the other stacks at the table are looking tiny by comparison. The Uzi is on fire!
Terry Ogle Picks Up a Pot
2 years agoBlinds Up; Level 13 upon Us
2 years agoJames Lindsay Eliminated Seventh ($27,536)
2 years agoVito Calluso limps from early position and Carlos Uz limps from middle position. James Lindsay decides to push all-in for over $50,000. Calluso lays it down but Uz thinks for a minute and then declares, "I'm going to call."
Uz flips over A♣ 9♣ and will need some help against Lindsay's A♠ K♥. The flop comes 9♥ 7♠ 3♠ and Uz hits his nine. Uz cheers and then shouts, "Low cards, come on low cards." The turn comes 10♣ and the river falls 8♠ and the "Uzi" has eliminated another player.
Carlos Uz is dominating the final table and currently has $555,000 for the chip lead.
Tom Schneider Eliminated Eighth ($20,652)
2 years agoOur last well-known player is no longer with us. Tom Schneider pushes all-in for his last $17,000 from late position and both Vito Calluso and Chris Moore call.
The flop comes A♣ Q♣ 7♣ and Calluso bets out $20,000 which causes Moore to fold. Calluso shows A♦ 10♣ for a pair of aces and a flush draw while Schneider is in bad shape with 8♠ 8♦. The turn comes 3♦ and the river comes 3♠ and the Donkey Bomber has been grounded, at least for today.
James Lindsay Doubles Through Terry Ogle
2 years agoAction is folded around to Terry Ogle who bets $15,000. James Lindsay, who is directly on his left, pushes all-in for approximately $40,000. Ogle makes the call and shows A-K to Lindsay's pocket nines.
The board comes Q-7-5-3-8 and Lindsay has doubled-up. Ogle is getting lower in the chip rankings.
Thomas Hover Eliminated Ninth ($13,768)
2 years agoThe ultrafast play from Caesars Indiana continues!
On the very first hand Thomas Hover pushed all-in and both Carlos Uz and Vito Casullo made the call.
The flop comes 10-6-3 and all three players check. The turn comes A♥ and Uz bets $25,000. Casullo lays it down and Uz flips over A-K for a pair of aces. Hover will need some help because he shows 9-8 and is looking for a seven to complete his straight. The river is 10♥ and Hover has been eliminated.
