Level 29 - Blinds 100,000/200,000/25,000
Since returning from break, the chips counts have changed by just thousands. There have been three flops in the last 20 minutes, with a lot of blinds and ante stealing. In the first hand back from break, after Danny Warchol raised form the small blind, Jonas Wexler shipped for over 6,000,000. Warchol tanked briefly and folded.

Mike Dentale is on fumes with with just over 10 big blinds (1,600,000), and got a way from a potential hand that would send him home. In a blind v. blind situation, Jonas put in enough to cover Dentale, and Mike thought for a while. He finally folded, showing a pair of fours, while Jonas showed him a pair of fives. He would of been in a terrible spot, but is still alive.

After Jonas Wexler win a big pot from Mike Dentale, here are the updated counts:
Jonas Wexler - 9,000,000
Mike Dentale - 4,000,000
Danny Warchol - 3,100,000
The reason the update took so long for chip counts was to wait for a big hand to end. Jonas Wexler fired a river bet of 1,775,000 on a board of 3♣ 4♥ 5♣ J♠ 10♦, and Warchol was in the tank for a solid (10) minutes. He finally threw a chip in making the call and Wexler flipped over A 2 (flopped the wheel). Wexler has taken an overwhelming chip lead with that win.

Level 27 - Blinds 50,000/100,000/10,000
In just a sick hand, Jonas Wexler and Danny Warchol get all the chips in pre-flop (with Jonas covered). It's the A-K of Jonas against the A-2 of Warchol. The board runs out Q 5 8 5 8, and Warchol gets saved with a chop!!!! Wexler walked away with his hands on his heads, and they chop the antes and blinds.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Pot Of The Day
Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000
There was a crowd of about 20 people watching what would be the pot of the tournament. The board ran out 5 9 3 9 2, and Mike Dentale had called Wexler's 1,000,000 check raise on the turn. Once the 2 hit the river, Jonas announced himself all-in, and we would have about a 7 minute tank from Mike. He then turned over a 9, showing Jonas how strong his hand was. Jonas was stone faced as Dentale talked....and stared....and talked...and showed his one card. Dentale had the crowd surrounding the tabled, on the edge of their seats about what he would do. Dentale eventually folded, and Jonas is now at 5,900,000 (Dentale is down to 4,000,000).

Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Dentale Picks Up Nice Pot
Level 26 - Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000
Mike Dentale had already called two streets from Warchol on a Q J 8 7 3 board, and was faced with yet a third bet on the river. Mike was doing some talking while he was thinking, about how he hadn't seen Danny fire three streets. Mike had the calling amount in his hand, and was going back and forth with himself. He finally made the call, Danny said he had a queen, and Dentale flipped over A-Q. Mike is now over 5,000,000, while Danny drops down just below that same mark.

On the firsrt hand back from break, on a board of J♣ 10♠ 9♦ A♣, Jared Jaffee bets 400,000 on the turn, and gets raised by Danny Warchol (enough to put Jaffee all-in). Jaffee thinks for a moment, talks to himself quickly, and then decides to call:
It's a cooler for Jaffee as his two pair is in terrible shape, and when the 4 spikes the river he would be sent home in 5th place.

On a board of 5♣ 7♦ 9♠ Q♠, after Mike Dentale had already called Jaffe's 300,000 bet on the flop, Jared once more fired out (this time for 425,000). Dentale raised to 1,000,000 and Jaffee went into the tank. Jaffee eventually folded, telling Mike that "Only two hands beat me." Dentale told him it was a great fold, showed an ace, and told Jared that he played the hand very tricky.

6th Place - $21,583
The flop came out Q♣ 8♣ 8♦ in a hand featuring Walter Taylor and Mike Dentale. Taylor fired out 125,000 and was called by Dentale. The turn brought the 9♦, and Taylor postured for a few moments before putting out a bet of 500,000. Dentale declared himself all-in, and Taylor immediately called, causing Mike to say, "Another cooler....I have a boat." The hands were turned over:
Taylor: J♥ 10♥ (turned straight) Dentale: 8♠ 9♠ (turned full house)
Walter was drawing dead, and would only be left with 20,000 after the chips were counted down. He would be eliminated the very next hand.
Big Stax 1500 (Day 3): Cooler No More
Level 25 - Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000

The board was 2 3 5 9 when Danny shoved, after Dentale called both a pre-flop and flop bet.

Level 24 - Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000
Max Amjadi (Mamora, NJ)
8th Place - $15,229
Jonas Wexler opened the pot for 65,000 and Mike Dentale flatted behind from the button. Max Amjadi was in the small blind, and he shipped it in for 365,000. Wexler folded and Dentale went into the tank for a solid four minutes. He verbalized the fact that he was hoping it was a race and that he really didn't want to give Amjadi chips. He finally decided to make the call, and Mike was in bad shape:
Amjadi: Q♠Q♣ Dentale: 2♠2♦
Flop: 2♣ 5♣ 6♣
Turn: 6♠
River: 10♦
Dentale out-flops Max Amjadi, but still had a handful of outs on the flop (any queen or any club). Things looked bleaker after Dentale turned a full house, and the river would brick for Max, sending him home in 8th place.
Mike Dentale - 2,700,000

Gene Mazza (Elizabeth, NJ)
9th Place - $11,398
Gene Mazza had only 40,000 chips left when he pushed all-in under the gun, and it was going to be tough sailing as six players called!! If Gene was to win the hand he would chip up to over 300,000, but on the flop of K♣ 10♠ 6♣, Danny Warchol fired out into the field (which folded around). Warchol turned over K♥ 10♥ against the A♦ 2♥ of Mazza. Gene would spike an ace on the river for the needle, but it would still be the end of his day.

10th Place - $8,342
Danny Warchol opened the pot to 65,000, and Gene Mazza made the call after thinking for a brief moment. Greg Galvin was next to act and pushed in for a total of 345,000. Warchol begrudgingly made the call, and Mazza folded behind:
Warchol: Q♣ 10♣ Galvin: A♦ Q♥
Flop: K♠ 8♣ J♣
Turn: A♥
River: 9♦
Danny would flop a huge hand with a flush and open ended draw, and even though Greg made two pair on the turn, he couldn't fill up to beat Warchol's straight.
Danny Warchol - 2,200,000
Gre Galvin - Eliminated

Gionni DeMers had pushed out a a river bet of 106,000 on a board of A 7 7 8 A. Walter Taylor check-raised him to 375,000, and DeMers sheepishly called. Taylor tapped the table and showed Q 10, while Gionni flipped over A J and took down the pot worth 1,100,000.
Players are going on a (10) minute break at the end of this level, which is in two minutes.

Mike Dentale At February's Big Stax 1500 Final Table
This isn't Mike Dentale's (Brooklyn, NY) first rodeo, he should be comfortable in this situation. Dentale finished fourth in this event during our inaugural Big Stax Series ($53,000), as he watched his Q-Q go down to the A-J of eventual winner Robert Boyko. Mike has since gone on to play in only larger buy-in events, and couldn't pass up the chance to better his finish from earlier in the year.

Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Huge Pot...Final Table
Level 23 - Blinds 12,000/24,000/4,000
Alek Divokovsky (New York, NY) is the final table bubble boy, and he goes out in a tough way. On a board of 5 7 8, Alek flops the straight with 4 6, but TJ Shulman held 6 9 (nut straight), and the fireworks would ensue. Shulman would win a pot worth 3,500,000, and go into the final in great shape. Once the chips are bagged and verified, we will post the counts and a final table preview.

Level 22 - Blinds 10,000/20,000/3,000

Players will be going on break in (15) minutes, and they will then return to play two more levels (through Level 24), or until the final table is reached. In both the Big Stax 300 & 500 we made the final table first, and this tournament has less total chips in play than both.
