Bowen Takes a Bow

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Tyler Nichols moved all in for 26,200 total over an Arthur Gates 3,500-chip open.

Brian Bowen moved all in behind for 15,200 and Gates tank folded. It turned out Bowen had aces versus Nichols tens and looked good to double all the way until a {10-Clubs} river ended his day.

Reid Relents

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Colin Reid got short and shoved sixes over a Veerab Zakarian open.

Zakarian called with tens, flopped a third one and now has Reid's chips.

The PokerNews curse is real.

The Arthur Gates Show

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Arthur Gates
Arthur Gates

The Arthur Gates show continues to roll on, and just rolled over Rich Giambi and Craig Ross.

Ross shoved short with the {a-}{5-} and Gates flatted. Giambi came all in over the top for 20,000 or so with the {a-}{j-}. Gates had the other two aces and called. The board bricked out and with the double knockout, Gates has 100,000 with 11 left.

Gates also gets the Rich Giambi bounty. A priceless prize he will surely cherish.

Down to Ten

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

They're down to one table of ten after Mark Roberts eliminated the one player who was not mentioned in the chip counts.

He's headed back to work now hoping the four hours he spent here today will go unnoticed.

Once three more players go broke they will stop play for the flight.

Not A Typo

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

That is not a typo. Veerab Zakarian went from almost 100,000 to under starting stack over the past half hour.

In the meantime, ten players still remain heading into a 10-minute break.

Nine Now

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Mark Nowak shoved short with jack-king off and Steve Conklin raised to isolate.

The rest folded and Conklin's ace-high held on a board of bricks to leave nine players remaining.
