Jeff Fogel opened to 2,400 and called a three-bet from Jonathan Jaffe on the button. Fogel checked the flop and called another 6,000 from Jaffe. After the turn, Fogel moved all in and Jaffe called.

Fogel:
Jaffe:

Fogel’s trip nine’s were ahead of Jaffe’s preflop monster and he found a double after the river. The dealer counted down his stack, told Jaffe it was 20,700 Jaffe shipped it across the felt.

Fogel is a regular in our SHRP tournaments while the former basketball and football coach battles ALS. On the personal side of the equation, Fogel was awarded the ALS Recovery Fund Hero of the Year award in 2014 for his efforts to raise awareness and funds to combat the disease. As far as poker, he has dozens of SHRP cashes including a runner-up finishing during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Turbo Event 2 this past August.

Players are preparing themselves for the 75-minute dinner break, making plans and collecting their dinner vouchers.

Before they rolled out, we took a look at the previously mentioned Tom Nguyen and his stack was considerably less than before. He is down to 57,400 while David Bradshaw is on the upswing with 135,000 after nine levels.

We’re used to seeing Nick Yunis around the ballrooms whenever we have a big series running and he owns a SHRPO trophy when he captured the fun-filled Charity Series of Poker event in 2014. He has nearly $1.3 million in career earnings and is the second-ranked player from Chile.

But if he wants to win a WSOPC Main Event ring here, he’ll have to take another shot. We caught up to his table with the board reading and his opponent checked. Yunis moved all in for ~20,000 and he got a quick call.

“Full house?” Yunis asked before showing . His opponent did not have a full house, but he did have the nut flush to send Yunis out shortly before the dinner break.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador Wally Maddah is moving up the counts slowly but surely. After a recent Maddah open, his opponent checked in the dark and Maddah C-bet. He got a quick fold and was able to chip up without contest.

Maddah has enjoyed his share of deep runs here in South Florida and last November’s Rock ‘n Roll Poker Open sticks out as one of his headliners. He put a together a string of final table appearances in that series including a fourth-place finish in the $570. In all, he earned just over $40,000 during the roughly two-week event.

Tampa’s Tom Nguyen is bundled up, but on a heater to start Level 8. He was in good position following the last break, but has chipped up slightly since and is flirting with the six-figure mark.

Nguyen is part of a strong showing of players from the Tampa region as he’s ed by ambassador Wally Maddah, Marvin Karlins, Anthony Dianaty and others here in the Main Event.

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Loni Harwood is back in the ballrooms after finding the felt Friday in the Main Event. Harwood has already enjoyed some success here in the South Florida Circuit, placing seventh in this week’s $1,100 buy-in. She came up shy of ring number four, but hopes she continue her winnings way in the Sunshine State where she owns three tournament victories.
