Cheung Flushes Out Steicke
Level 6
Pot Limit Omaha
We caught the action between David Steicke and Derek Cheung with a flop showing 
and with 11,000 in the pot.
The 
on the turn would see both players check, sending the 
out on the river. Steicke would check in front of Cheung, wherby a 6,500 bet would be fired out. Steicke made the call and mucked when Cheung turned over 
for a rivered flush.
Cheung moves up to 22,000 while Steicke drops to 19,000.
One Gone
Level 6
Pot Limit Omaha
Our PokerNews reporter came to the table just in time to see the first bust out of the tournament.
With the flop showing 
, Jan Suchanek had led for a 3/4 pot size bet. Eli Elezra called to his left before the action was sent around to Robert Williamson III who moved allin for his remaining 6,800. Suchanek made the call and Elezra got out of the way.
Williamson III: 
Suchanek: 
Williamson was in front for now but Suchanek would hit the 
on the turn to move in front with a flush. The river would brick and Williamson would be the first man out.
Gipson Got It
Level 6
No Limit Hold'em
Keith Gipson just saw his tournament life on the line after shoving for his remaining 5,875 and receiving a call from Andy Bloch.
Gipson: 
Bloch: 
The board ran out 
allowing Gipson to double through Bloch and move up to a healthy 13,000.
Scoop The Triple Up
Level 6
Stud Hi/Lo
We caught the action on the river, with Gary Benson allin against two opponents.
Benson would obviously be happy to take just half the pot to stay alive but when his hand was all said and done his 
/ 
would be good enough to scoop the pot against the single pair and no low qualifier of Bruno Portaro and the pair of queens with no low qualifier for Daniel Alaei.
Benson triples up to around 10,000.

Slow Days; Tennis Thrills
Level 5
The pay has been relatively slow in the first few levels, with no player surging to any sort of dominating chip lead. Gary Benson is the only player in real trouble, with his short stack needing some help.
Most of the talk around the tables have been on the womans tennis, with wagers being place on Kim Clijsters at serveral tables.
