The action has picked up since the last level. We caught a flash of the board reading before the dealer turned it over. Rampone had pocket tens and Lipkin held . Rampone had a large stack of 5,000 chips that he had bet on the river.
We're not sure of all the action but we found the hands face up and the dealer was counting down the stacks. The board showed and Keith Uchima held and was shipping a little of 50,000 over to Tom White. White tabled and told us that he slow played them the whole way.
Richard Toth opened from the button for 6,000 and Casey Stewart called from the big blind. The flop rolled out and Stewart check-called 8,500 from Toth. The turn came and both players checked. The river fell and again both players checked. Stewart tabled and Toth mucked.
The action folded around to the player in the hijack position who raised to 7,000; Tom Carman called from the cutoff, but David Roper shoved the rest of his stack into the middle from the button. Both the blinds and the hijack got out of the way and Carman called, showing down , but was in a world of hurt against Roper's .
The dealer spread the flop of , but Carman was confident that he could catch up. "Drop a ten-ball down there," Carman said.
Turn:
Carman turned to Roper and said, "You know, it would be pretty sick if a nine-ball dropped on the river ..."
River:
The other players at the table nearly jumped out of their skin when the river came down. Shock, disbelief, amazement - honestly, we're hard-pressed to find the words to describe this moment of clairvoyance.
"Hey PokerNews," said Carman as he raked in the chips, "Make sure you blog that I called every street. Don't put it in unless you do!" Duly noted, sir!
We found this preflop all in developing as the hands were tabled. Doug Johnson had moved in with but unfortunately Bruce Antman woke up with . The board went and Antman's jacks held. Johnson hit the rail and Antman broke the 100,000 mark.
