Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Greg Ostrander was all in and at risk on a flop of {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and he was in great shape to double up with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Johannes Mueller had him at risk with {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, and the {j-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a Broadway draw.

The {9-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and Ostrander doubled to around 30,000 chips. Mueller slipped to 19,200.

Paul Volpe

Paul Volpe raised to 700 in middle position, Jonathan Little three-bet to 2,000 out of the small blind, and Volpe made the call.

The dealer fanned {4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Little led out for another 2,000, Volpe called, and the turn was a repeat four - the {4-Hearts}.

Little fired another 3,600, Volpe once again called, and the {7-Clubs} completed the board. Sipping his tea, Little knuckled the felt, and Volpe announced that he was all in. He pushed forward his 12,850-chip stack, and Little quickly called.

Volpe ripped over {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a full house, and Little smirked before mucking his hand facedown.

Khan Continuing to Accumulate

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Junayed Khan is continuing his impressive early start. He three bet Emad Alabsi's original raise and when faced with a four bet to 13,550 he moved all in. Alabsi tanked... and tanked some more... and tanked some more. Finally, Melanie Weisner asked for the clock to be called and he quickly folded.

Dan Heimiller
Dan Heimiller

Dan Heimiller limped in middle position and Eric Baldwin decided to join along from the button. The small blind raised to 800 and both Heimiller and Baldwin called.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} and the player in the small blind checked. Heimiller bet 2,000 and Baldwin called. The pre-flop raiser folded and the dealer put out the {3-Hearts} on the turn. This time Heimiller placed out a 4,000 bet. Baldwin thought for a few moments and then carefully slid his cards to the dealer.

Ostrander Calls the Clock

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Jeff Madsen raised to 775 from under the gun, and a player on the button meant to call, tossing out 1,075, but that is a raise. After a bit of confusion - the dealer was arguing that it was a call - the table concluded that it was a raise, and the action folded back to Madsen, who moved all in for effectively 23,075.

The player who accidentally raised went into the tank, and sat quietly for a very long time. After a while, he told the table, "You're just going to have to sit there and watch me get my massage."

At that point, Greg Ostrander spoke up.

"I've never called the clock in my life," he said before popping his clock cherry.

The floor was called over and started the countdown.

"Tell me when it's three seconds," the player requested.

Finally, after several minutes, the clock expired and the hand was dead. Madsen and a few of his tablemates shared a laugh as the two-time WSOP bracelet winner pulled in the pot.
