Lech Runs Out of Steam

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

The board ran {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Koiner made a straight and is closing in on the 200,000 mark.

Alexander Picks Off a Big Bluff

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Dejuante Alexander was tanking on a final community of {4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. His opponent in the small blind had fired 46,800, a rather large bet into a pot of around 55,000. Alexander would have to commit most of his stack to call, and he decided to do so after another couple of minutes. His opponent shook his head and flicked {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} into the middle for a six-high missed straight, and Alexander showed {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for two pair.

Adrian Buckley
Adrian Buckley

With a pot of about 50,000 in the middle, Adrian Buckley shoved all in from the cutoff for 54,100 on a board of {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Brant Hale, who had checked in the small blind, slid in calling chips.

Buckley: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Hale: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Hale had just two outs and the {j-Clubs} river wasn't one of them.

Realization of a Long Night Setting In

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

The conversation at many of the tables has shifted to how long they expect to play tonight. The field is scheduled to play down to 24 players and with 58 remaining, they're in for a long night.

The next two starting flights will play the schedule that today's field will and a walk around the field revealed there aren't many short stacks hanging on. Another 32 players have to hit the rail before they bag and tag.
