Conron is On

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Wondering how multiple satellite winner David Conron is doing?

Just fine thank you, on better than 80,000 now after picking up the blinds and antes with a 1,200 open from early position moments ago.

Moeller Still Accumulating

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

It's been a steady trent upward for Pat Moeller all day, and he added another level to his chip tower moments ago against Dietrich Kuhlmann.

With the board showing {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Travell Thomas led out for 3,800. Kuhlmann called, and Moeller raised to 15,000. Thomas insta-mucked and Kuhlmann called.

The {9-Hearts} river was met with a quick check from Kuhlmann. Moeller bet 10,000, and Kuhlmann thought it over briefly before announcing a call.

Moeller tabled the {K-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair and the win, increasing his chip lead.

It Takes Two to Tango

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Two of the area's most respected rounders just tangled over a sizable pot.

Andy Spears made it 1,200 from late position before Travell Thomas started talking.

"Oh, I'm gonna crack you," he said, making the call from the small blind.

Jason Nablo also called from the big blind and they went three-way to the {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop. Two checks were followed by a Spears bet of 2,000 which only Thomas called.

The turn came the {2-Spades} and Thomas check-called another 3,800 Spears bet. The river was the trend following {2-Diamonds} and after another check from Thomas, Spears fired a hefty 10,500.

"I think I have to fold my flush here man, and it sucks," Thomas said, tanking for a minute before eventually letting it go.

Foster Felts Napierala

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

To this point, it appears Blake Napierala will have to settle for that fourth-place finish in Event #6 last night.

Unless he chooses to re-enter this Main Event either later today or tomorrow.

He got it all in preflop dominated with {a-Spades}{4-Hearts} against Adam Foster's {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. A flop that included the {k-Hearts} and not much else was enough to send Napierala to the rail and vault Foster up towards the top of the chip counts.

He Won't Stop

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

The run-good continues for Nick Alafogiannis.

He limp-called from middle position when the player in the big blind made it 1,900. The small blind came along for the ride and they went three-handed to an {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop.

The small blind led out for 2,375, the big blind made it 5,000 and Alafogiannis flatted. Once again, the small blind came along and the {6-Diamonds} turn was revealed. The small blind checked, but not the big, she pushed all her chips in and only Alafogiannis called.

She had {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, but Alafogiannis had her crushed, having turned a straight after flopping an open-ended straight flush draw with {3-Spades}{4-Spades}.

The {2-Diamonds} river obviously changed nothing and Alafogiannis pushed up close to 80,000.
