Chad Holloway

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A short-stacked Nurlan Boobekov moved all in under the gun for 12,600 and received a call from Mike Watson in the hijack. The rest of the field folded and it was off to the races.

Watson:
Boobekov:

An ace in the window generated some excitement, but much to Boobekov's relief it was followed by a nine on the flop.

The meaningless was run out on the river and Boobekov's quads gave him a double within the first ten minutes of play.

Good Old Aces vs Kings

Happy_Freaked

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We just caught the very last bit of a hand that cost Mike Watson most of his chips. The board read when the dealer picked up Watson's and tossed them into the muck. Jarrod Glennon had shown and dragged in a nice double up.

Watson still has some chips to play with, but it's not nearly as comfortable compared to half an hour ago.

Jarrod Glennon	36,000 21,500	21,500

The turn was the , and Colman checked. Marcus moved all in for around 30,000, and Colman gave it up.

After the hand, Marcus wanted us to add a little note telling a special someone he misses them, followed by a "<3."

Mercier Unlucky

Happy_Freaked

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Robert Fenner just raised under the gun to 2,500 and the action was folded to Brian Payne in the small blind. The overall Day 1 chip leader doesn't like folding and put in a three-bet to 6,000. Jason Mercier was next to act in the big blind and he four-bet to 16,500.

Fenner took a little time before deciding to move all in. Payne quickly folded his cards and Mercier called.

Mercier:
Fenner:

Mercier was in great shape for a big double up, but the flop brought . The one out Mercier needed to win this pot didn't come as the turn, the , and river, , brought mere blanks.

Mercier is really short now and he will be all in for his tournament life shortly.

Guttmann Goes Runner-Runner to Stay Alive

Chad Holloway

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A short-stacked Michael Guttmann moved all in from the cutoff for 13,000 and received a quick call from Pratyush Buddiga on the button. Both blinds folded and Buddiga tabled the , which dominated Guttmann's .

The flop was pretty dry for Guttmann and he stood to make his exit. The turn gave him pause though as it delivered a double belly-buster straight draw. Much to Buddiga's disgust, the river completed it. "Straight," Guttman exclaimed in delight as he sat back down in his chair.
