Three Eighty-Two

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

The number on the board has been frozen at 382 players for a good while now, and we'll venture to guess that's within one or two of the official number. We'll have the exact count and the prize pool as soon as it's available to us.

Nguyen Eliminated

Kenny Nguyen
Kenny Nguyen

WSOP-C Chester Main Event Champion Kenny Nguyen passed our media booth to tell us that he was eliminated. His flopped two pair ran into an opponent's set on the flop, bringing his tournament to an end.

Ante: 25

Bowker Loses Some

We caught up with the action on a {J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board. There was about 7,500 in the pot and an opponent check-called a bet of 4,000 from Kyle Bowker.

The {6-Spades} hit the river and Bowker found himself faced an all-in bet of 5,125. A quick call from Bowker led to his opponent showing {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top two pair. Bowker couldn't beat it, mucking his hand and losing about half of his stack.

Levy Doubles Through Lippert

Adam Levy
Adam Levy

On a {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} board, action was on Adam Lippert and he was faced with a decision for 5,075 from Adam Levy. After a few moments Lippert called, another opponent folded, and the {9-Spades} hit the turn. Levy jammed for 11,575 and sent Lippert into the tank.

"Really have an overpair?" Lippert asked. Levy remained silent and was happy to show his {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} after Lippert talked himself into a call, drawing thin with {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. The river brought the {Q-Clubs}, securing the double for Levy.

Crowder Counting Chips

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Keith Crowder
Keith Crowder

We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. Thai Tran checked from the small blind, and Keith Crowder put out a bet of 2,400 into a pot of just over 3,000. Tran took some time to consider before check-raising to 5,500, and Crowder eventually shoved all in over the top. Tran quickly folded, and Crowder slapped his {3-Spades} {4-Spades} down on the felt. Tran knocked the table in acknowledgement.

"I can't call you," he said with a shrug.

"I know you can't," Crowder answered, stacking the pot to move to about 25,000.
