Leif Force, perhaps the tightest player in the history of the WSOP main event, busted out in eleventh position. Leif played a bizarre form of short-stack poker. He started the last level with just about 1,6 Million, He continued to fold an incredible number of hands, and spent a good deal of time with between 900 and 1.2 Million. Several times he folded his small blind when the pot folded to him. He also didn’t play aggressively when on the button.

Leif took a bad beat about an hour into the level, when at the other table, one player was all in with Queens but was against Kings. He would have made the final ten had a Queen not hit on the flop. Leif looked crestfallen when he heard the announcer describe the flop.

Forced to play a couple of hands with a desperate stack, Leif actually bluffed, but the bet was weak, and he was called. In the second form the last hand he played, Leif called all but 300k form the small blind, then surrendered on the flop. In the last hand, he was all in with a flush draw and an overcard against top pair.

Allen Cunningham added significantly to his stack. In a key hand against the Jamie Gold, the chip leader, the two saw the flop when both were in the blinds. The flop came J-s-4-s-4d. Jamie checked and Allen bet 400k. Jamie called. The turn was the Ad, and both players checked. The river was the 7s and Jamie bet out 800k. Allen raised to 2.8 Million, and Jamie, after some thought, called.

Jamie seemed to be flirting with tilt. He lost that big pot to Cunningham and another large pot to Eric Felich. But soon after he seemed to calm down. We’ve just moved to a 10-handed table, and it could be some time before we lose another player. Everyone has chips, and the play has become cautious.
