Event # 16 - $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Shootout, Final Table Master Blaster  Anthony Reategui Final Table Placings 1 Anthony Reategui Chandler, AZ, USA $269,100 2 Paul Kroh Battle Mountain, NV, USA $146,380 3 Phil Gordon South Lake Tahoe, CA, USA $75,350 4 Young Phan Garden Grove, CA, USA $64,585 5 Kenny Robbins Las Vegas, NV, USA $53,820 6 Ted Lawson Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA $43,055 7 Dariush Imani USA $32,290 8 Allen Goldstein Houston, TX, USA $25,835 9 Erick Lindgren Las Vegas, NV, USA $20,450 --Anthony Reategui blasted a world class table to smithereens. One of the two previous unknowns at the table, Tony caught every hand he entered no matter how big a dog. The most memorable was when Tony called 106k with two players all-in ahead of him. Tony had pocket 9's which not surprisingly was the third worst hand. No worries. The 9 came on the turn. The last hand, Reategui had the best hand and that held up as well. Tony had the A 2 of Diamonds. Paul Kroh had the K Q of Diamonds. Ace high was golden. In fact everything was golden for Reategui in one of the most dominating performances in WSOP history. He's not an unknown from Chandler AZ anymore. IN THE MONEY FINISHERS: 1. Tony Reategui $269,100 2. Paul Kroh $146,380 3. Phil Gordon $75,350 4. Young Phan $64,585 5. Kenny Robbins $53,820 6.

John Juanda Marina Del Rey, CA $2,155 Tie/66. Brian Mogelefsky Huntington, NY $2,155 11:55 One more double up by Paul Kroh and we will have ourselves a horserace. Tony Reategui will know fear for the first time tonight. There is nothing scarier than having a lock win slip away. In Tunica this year, Gary Jones had a 350k to 5k lead heads up over Sirous Baghchehsaraie and he lost. Tony is grinding Paul down as he should. It's back to a 10-1 chip lead for Tony. 11:45 "i haven't looked," Phil Gordon said as he called the obligitory 100k button bet from Tony Reategui. Tony turned over A 6. Phil had J 8. Bye, Phil. "Whoop," yelled Paul Kroh. He just made $71,000. Heads up it's not close, about 10-1 chip dog for Kroh. Kroh doubles up, with an Ace on the flop, to 250k. It's not over yet. 11:25 Ten minute break between levels. Tony Reategui is doing what he should as the massive chip leader. He's raising almost every hand with enough to put either blind all-in. Neither Kroh or Gordon can afford to call without a monster as it could cost them second place. 11:15 Playing for second with Reategui have over 80% of the chips, Paul Kroh and Phil Gordon have just made a fortune by not playing any hands. Kroh has about 80k and Gordon has 40k. The difference between second and third place money is $71,000. 11:00 What a hand! Pocket Kings. Pocket Jacks. Pocket 9's. Kenny Robbins with the Kings goes all-in and is called by Ted Lawson with Jacks. Nothing unusual. Then Tony Reategui, who has been dreaming cards all night counted Robbins down. 106k. Ok, Tony said I'll call. He had the nines. Three hearts on the flop to give Tony the only heart draw. But a 9 came on the turn. Tony knocks out two more players with an under pair. Lawson was 6th. Kenny Robbins was 5th. Then on the next hand, Magic Tony does it again. He knocks out Young Phan with a running diamond flush on the river for 4th place. A 9 for Young. K Q for Tony with the King of Diamonds. 10:55 "There's a 4 in the deck," Phil Gordon said. He had the K 4 of Diamonds all-in with a strug. Dariush Imani read Phil right and called with K 9 of Spades. There WAS a 4 in the deck and it came on the river to give Imani enough money for a nice suit in 7th. Three out beat. A few hands later someone finally beat Tony Reategui, but Paul Kroh had to be dominated to win. Paul went all-in from the cutoff with K Q offsuit. Tony had A K. Paul made a miracle straight with the J 10 9 came. 10:45 Tony Reategui continues to goof on this table like he's playing with kids. "Don't go home curious," Tony taunted Dariush Imani with a bet on the river that would put Imani all-in if called. "Call, you've got a job," Tony said. Imani couldn't pull the trigger with a board of A 10 3 9 8. Robbins called a clock on Imani and he folded. Tony's from Chandler AZ so he's played a lot of poker. Two hands later Allen Goldstein thought Reategui was fooling around too much. Allen reraised Tony's button raise all-in with pocket 9's. Tony called instantly with pocket Queens. No fooling around. Tony Reategui has over half the chips on the table and Allen Goldstein is a stunned 8th. 10:35 When Reategui made it 10k to go under the gun, only Paul Kroh in the big blind called. The flop came A 6 6. Paul checked and Tony bet 77k. After several minutes Paul Kroh showed an Ace and folded. Amazing read or gutless laydown. We won't know because this isn't a TV table. 10:25 Kenny Robbins raises. D Imani goes all-in for an extra 9,5k. K 10 for Imani and he doubles up against a 5 2 steal attempt from Robbins. As chip leader, Tony Reategui has taken over the aggressor role from Allen Goldstein. 10:15 Alan Goldstein raises and Ted Lawson reraises all-in. A Q suited vs A Q offsuit. Will there be a flush, nope. Chop it up. That's what passes for excitement sometimes. 10:05 Erick Lindgren said, "It was suited. I didn't feel like waiting." Erick's A 7 and an all-in 51,5k was called by Anthony Reategui with Q 10 suited. The Queen hit to send Lindgren out in 9th. There were three shorter stacks when Lindgren went all-in with his suited cards. 9:55 Chip counts: Lindgren, 60,5 Robbins, 114,5 Imani, 15 Phan 50,0 Goldstein, 346,0 Lawson, 81,0 Kroh, 100,0 Reategui, 356,5 Gordon, 50,5 500 ante, 2k/4k blinds 9:35 Imani raises all-in for an extra 4,800 and he is called by Phil Gordon. Imani doubles up when Phil can't catch up to Dariush's A J of Clubs. Paul Kroh went all-in over the top of Young Phan and got no call on hand 52. 15 minute break. 9:25 Dariush Imani let Allen Goldstein have a free card on the turn and it cost him 40k. Goldstein bet when he caught his gutshot straight on the river. Hand 47 coming up with a few more minutes in this level. Young Phan called an all-in by Dariush Imani for his case 40k. Young had A J offsuit. Imani turned over pocket 8's. Young felt better when he made Aces full. 9:15 Paul Kroh immitated Allen Goldstein going all-in from the small blind over four limpers. He shows pocket 3's and wipes his brow when all fold. On the next hand, Anthony G tried to trap Allen G with a full house check on the river 4's full. Goldstein didn't bite. 9:05 I'm not going to hype this for you. It's dull. No showdowns, but checked ones, few calls. With the average stack at about 40 big blinds, there is no reason not to wait. Now at hand 40. 8:55 The poker royalty has entered the arena to sweat Lindgren. Hellmuth, Negreanu and Arieh. That means they have all been knocked out of the Limit event. No action at the table, however, as any bet ends the hand. 8:45 Kenny Robbins as the total of the avid fans with two. The rest of the sparse crowd don't seem to have a favorite. Johnny Grooms just asked if Phil Gordon was going to play a hand. Phil got up to loosen his diapers. 8:35 Allen Goldstein remains the man. His raises and reraises are being respected with mucks. 8:25 Back to sleep after some intense action at the start. 8:15 New level now 90 minutes each. 400 ante, 1,5k/3k blinds. Allen Goldstein plays chip bully, going all-in for 320k over three limpers. No call. 8:05 Kenny Robbins check-calls Allen Goldstein to the river and turns over a paired Jack on the flop for a nice pot. Allen mucked. 7:55 Lawson all-in for 30k on a reraise of Young Phan's 6k. Phan calls. 6's for Ted, 9's for Young. K 5 3 on the flop. Turn is a 5. SIX! on the river. Wow! Lawson all-in again, no calls. 7:45 On Hand 4 there's action. K K 8 flop. Kroh and Robbins. Kenny bets 8k on the flop after Paul checks. Paul calls. Turn 10h. Check, bet 22k by Robbins. Paul Kroh folds. Next hand, Keith Quilty goes all-in for 30k. He's called by Paul Kroh. A 6 for Keith Quilty. K Q by Paul Kroh. With a King on the river, Keith was sucked out on by a six outer. 6:15 Allen Goldstein went all-in as the second chip leader with pocket 7's. Chris McCormack naturally called all-in with pocket Aces. "Pai Gow," Allen yelled as the 7 he needed hit the flop. Shocked could best describe the face of Chris McCormack out in 11th. We head to the Final Table. They are going on dinner break now. Back at 7:30. Seat Player Chips 1 Erick Lindgren 74,500 2 Kenny Robbins 116,200 3 Keith Quilty 33,300 4 Dariush Imani 67,900 5 Young Phan 79,500 6 Allen Goldstein 287,000 7 Ted Lawson 35,400 8 Paul Kroh 80,000 9 Anthony Reategui 284,900 10 Phil Gordon 85,000 5:35 We are doing our imitation of Mount Rushmore National Park. These guys are granite. They won't defend their blinds. It's bet and take it. We only need to lose one more to get to the Final Table, but we have no volunteers. It's going to be a long night with this crew. 4:55 Brett Jungblut won the first level Table of Death, then no piece of cake to get here from the second. But 12 handed he picked up A K versus A A held by Chris McCormack. Then, on the next hand, Jungblut goes all-in for 22k with J 9 suited only to run into J J from Allen Goldstein. That's a tough way to go after so much work yesterday. 11 handed now. Table Seat Player 125-1 Anthony Reategui 125-2 Paul Kroh 125-3 Kenny Robbins 125-4 Erick Lindgren 125-5 Keith Quilty 125-6 Dariush Imani 136-1 Ted Lawson 136-2 Chris McCormack 136-3 Young Phan 136-4 Phil Gordon 136-5 Allen Goldstein 3:45 Well that qualifies as a two big hands. Alan Goehring flopped a set of Kings. Anthony Reategui flopped a flush. The board didn't pair, so the former WPT champ is the first out in 13th. Ouch! 3:25 Nothing is happening. Still 13 handed on the two tables. The blinds are going up, but not enough to induce action. Only two big hands at the same time will get someone to the rail with these rocks. 2:35 The two table 13 handed Day 2 of the No Limit Shootout started a little late. The ante is 100. The blinds are 400/800. Sixty minute levels until we reach the Final Table. Each player started with 90k so this will take awhile.

Brian Mogelefsky Huntington, NY $2,155 --12:15 Two guys with reputations to defend and lots of chips coughed it up in the last two tables of play tonight. It got too crazy for James Worth. He'd lead big, then was down big. He fought his way back to nearly even when he picked up pocket 5's on the button. He went all-in and was called by Q 10. With a 10 on the turn, James was Worth 2nd place money. Former tennis pro, Yevgeny Kafelnikov is playing great for a newbie to the pro circuit. But tonight he was up two sets to love when his recquet came undstrung. Yevgeny lost a tie-breaker in the fifth set for 2nd place money as well. Tomorrow at 2 pm, I'll take these 13 table winner all the way to the Final Table. My vacation is over. I now will be doing the FT's for the rest of the WSOP 2005. It's been fun seeing all the players as they begin their days, full of hope. Now I get to watch which ones make all the money. My thanks to PokerDan for his help up until now. He is leaving for Harvard tommorow and he will probably never talk to us riffraff again. In his place, the PokerPages Team welcomes 'The Mike Paulle of Australia' Chris Newton. He will do the name dropping game each day. See you tomorrow. --11:55 Young Phan did a Barry Greenstein, 'Ace On The River.' Young called Cecilia Reyes' all-in heads up with A J. Senora de Mortensen had pocket Queens. Mr. Traniello finally lost a few hands. He didn't win his table, Kenny Robbins did. --11:45 Peter Costa made a straight. No good. Ted Lawson made a flush. Chris Tsiprailidis finished third disgustedly. Yevgeny Kavelnikov has a massive chip lead heads up. As does James Worth at his table. Young Phan and Cecilia Reyes are still at a three handed table. --11:35 Brett Jungblut came from 5-1 down to win his table. The key hand was an A 10 vs and A 8. There was a 10 on board. --11:15 The seige has been broken. Alan Goehring duplicated his victory over Kirill Gerasimov in the WPT 1 Championship. My error, Chris T is three handed. If Young Phan is at the table it will take forever. Paul Wolfe was 4th, leaving Reyes and Phan three handed. --10:55 Lindgren took out Storakers. Gordon finished off Talebi. Jungblut and Tsiprailidis are still heads up against players I don't know. In the battle of the titans, Goehring and Gerasimov are replaying the Siege of Leningrad. --10:45 Allen Goldstein and Paul Kroh won their tables. They get to come back tomorrow and play for more money. The hottest guy in the business, Marco Traniello with five money finishes, is heads up. Chris Tsiprailidis is also heads up. James Worth, the KrazyKanuke, is three handed. Sam Arzoin is out. Rodeen Talebi and Phil Gordon are heads up. Johan Storakers and Erick Lindgren are heads up. --10:25 Tables 128 Hayden 5th 131 Alson 4th 133 Sewell 3rd, Allen Goldstein is heads up. 141 Paez 3rd, Paul Kroh is heads up with a 3-2 chip lead. --10:05 Going a break to color off the 100's. Annie Duke is out 5th at her table 10's vs Kings behind her. Mike 'Shoes' Gambony was 4th at his table. Kirill Gerasimov and Alan Goehring are heads up at their table in a rerrun of the first WPT Championship that Alan won. Melissa Hayden flopped two pair with Q's and 9's vs A Q. An Ace came. Michael Mizrachi was 5th at his table. Charlie Sewell crippled the Grinder with a flush and Michael Gambony knocked his short stack out with A 4 suited vs A 3 all-in pre-flop. The 4 hit. Minh Nguyen was 4th at his table. --9:35 Don Barton was 5th at his table. Noah Boeken slammed the table then he did it again before mucking his hand. "I could beat the King" was all he said. Paul Kroh showed Noah the K 3 of Clubs and a flush on the river. Boeken floated out in 4th. --9:15 John Juanda went out with pocket Jacks vs A 7 in the big blind held by Peter Costa. John bet 2k on the flop of 8 6 5. Peter raised all-in on the opened straight draw and John called. Costa made the straight. Jay Heimowitz had pocket Aces vs the A Q of Clubs by Rodeen Talebi. The flop came with the K 10 of Clubs. Talebi called the all-in and made the flush on his gutshot royal draw.
