Recalling Day 4 of the WSOP 2012 - Main Event

. . . .   moments worth recalling
Karam Crushed: Action folded around to Dan Dizenzo on the button and he raised to 16,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, which prompted Marc Karam to move all in for 169,000 from the big blind with {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Dizenzo made a quick call and was primed to score the knock out.

“My first time all in this tournament,” Karam said. That was followed by an “Ouch,” when the flop fell {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. The {K-Diamonds} turn left Karam drawing dead, while the {J-Hearts} river sent him home in 378th place for $32,871.

God Save the Moorman: At an outer table, there was 1,021,000 in the pot on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Chris Moorman held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} but was up and preparing to exit as Patrick Halter held the far superior {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. Neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor {10-Hearts} river helped Moorman, and the Brit gave us a wave as he made his way to the payout desk in 358th place to collect $32,871.

The Legendary Johnny Chan: In another hand at the outer tables, two-time Main Event winner Johnny Chan was all in preflop holding {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and in bad shape against the {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} of Isaac Baron. With 1,085,000 on the line, the dealer burned and put out the flop — {10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, a disaster for Chan as Baron flopped top set. The {9-Spades} turn gave Chan a little hope for a chop, but the {6-Spades} river was not what he needed. Chan took a swig of his water, grabbed his humongous red bag, and then exited the Amazon Room in 353rd place.

A New Chip Leader: Paul Volpe, a 30-year old from Philadelphia with $113,633 in WSOP cashes, began Day 4 10th in chips, and things only seemed to go his way as the day progressed. For example, with 254,000 in the pot and a flop of {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Volpe checked {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to Sean Rice, who held {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} on the button. The latter checked, the {10-Clubs} turned, and Volpe fired out 150,000 with his flush. Rice made the call drawing dead, and the {K-Hearts} river was danger as it gave him useless trips. Volpe wasted little time moving all in, and after thinking for a few moments, Rice called off his last 481,000. With that hand, Volpe became the new chip leader with 3.184 million and was primed to improve upon his 192nd-place finish in the 2011 WSOP Main Event.

Deeb Dusted; Buchman Looking for Another November Nine: A short-stacked Shaun Deeb was all in preflop for 114,000 holding {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and out in front of the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} of Eric Buchman, who you may recall as a member of the November Nine in 2009. Deeb sat silently while receiving a massage and didn’t react much when the flop fell {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} followed by the {10-Hearts} on the turn; however, when the {K-Spades} spiked on the river to give Buchman the win, Deeb shot out of his chair and exited in 319th place for $32,871. Meanwhile, Buchman was looking to become the first repeat November Niner — or in this case an October Niner.
