"Borderline" Takes Big Hit While "NevilleWeeee" Doubles

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

It was another blind on blind battle, and "Borderline" raised to 2,000 from the small, with "NevilleWeeee" raising from the big to 5,800. "Borderline" called, then bombed the pot for 191,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. It didn't take "NevilleWeeee" long to put in the call for their remaining 20,878, and they were in great shape with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} versus {a-Clubs}{2-Spades} for "Borderline".

{10-Hearts}{q-Spades} on the turn and river gave "NevilleWeeee" the straight and the double up.

Level: 7

Blinds: 500/1,000

Ante: 125

Blind on Blind Gets Big

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

It folded around to "Borderline" in the small blind, and they put out a bet of 2,800. "NevilleWeee" called from the big blind to see a flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

"Borderline" led out for 3,575, and "NevilleWeeee" smooth-called. The {7-Clubs} turn saw similar action, with "NevilleWeeee" calling a bet of 5,187. When the {3-Diamonds} hit the river, "Borderline" put 19,219 into the middle, and after going into their timebank for a bit, "NevilleWeeee" finally released their big blind.

"ANARCHYFTW" Defends Big Blind

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

"vladimir8551" raised to 1,320 and "KrAvRoRa" called from their left. It folded to "ANARCHYFTW" in the big blind, and they reraised to 6,540. That was enough to chase both players off, and "ANARCHYFTW" picked up a few chips uncontested.

"callmeBOT" Holds with Tens

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

"ANARCHYFTW" opened under the gun to 1,320 and "KrAvRoRa" called from the cutoff as did "callmeBOT" from the small and "davedelmar" from the big. The flop came {4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and it checked to "KrAvRoRa" who bet 1,200.

"callmeBOT" was the only caller and they both checked the {j-Diamonds} turn. They checked again on the {3-Diamonds} river, and "callmeBot"'s pocket tens were the best hand.

Meanwhile, former chip leader "ilovecrabs69" is at the same table and has dropped down a bit in the standings.

Level: 5

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 75

"ilovecrabs69" Chips Back Up

Level 4 : 250/500, 60 ante

"Pokedowa" raised from early position to 1,000, and "ilovecrabs69" defended their big blind with a call. "ilovecrabs69" check-raised the {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} monochrome flop, doubling "Pokedowa"'s 1,000 chip bet.

"Pokedowa" called, then raised when "ilovecrabs69" bet 1,500 on the {3-Clubs} turn. "ilovecrabs69" called to see the {10-Hearts} river, and it checked around, with "ilovecrabs69"'s {10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} taking down the hand.

$85,000 Up Top in the Main

Level 4 : 250/500, 60 ante

Its still pretty early in the registration period, but first place in the Main Event currently sits at $85,000. So far, the event has seen 1,290 entries, with 1,175 stacks still in play and 45 rebuys. Late registration is still open for more than three hours, so there's still plenty of time to take a shot at the big prize.
