Hasse Chipping Up

From middle position, Julian Hasse raised to 1,300. The cutoff seat made the call and Vadim Belov called from the small blind before the dealer ran out the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. Action checked to the cutoff seat and he bet 2,400. Belov folded, but Hasse called.

The turn was the {Q-Spades} and both players checked to see the {3-Spades} land on the river. Hasse led for 3,000 and his opponent gave it up.

Wandering past a table on the far side of the tournament area and we noticed that there is the largest stack in the room sitting in front of Christopher Park. Let's see if he can weave his way through the field to emerge as the end of day chip leader.

Guzzardi Smiling His Way To Victory

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

When we came to Michael Guzzardi's table there was a board showing {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and with one opponent leading out with a 900-chip bet. The two players then started chatting and Guzzardi eventually decided to raise, making it 4,000 with a smile.

Guzzardi's opponent smiled back as he said, "ace is good," throwing his cards into the muck.
