One for Welch - 3:44 PM

Ryan Welch bet out 14,400 on the flop of {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. There was about 25,000 in the middle and David Ashby thought for a bit before folding his hand. Welch won the pot and moved to a little bit over 100,000 in chips.

Kelly Involved in Another Big Pot - 3:55 PM

Brock Parker raised from under the gun to 3,200 and then Chris Moore reraised to 9,000 from middle position. Michael Kelly was in the next seat and called before Alexander Queen reraised all in from the cutoff seat for 49,400. Everyone folded back around to Moore. He tanked for a couple minutes and then folded. Kelly took about a minute and then made the call, tabling the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Queen had the {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Queen got the double. Kelly has been involved in plenty of big pots at his table. He dropped to 110,000 after sending over the chips to Queen.

Dawley Doubles, Then Busts4:02 PM

Jessica Dawley was all in for 22,500 with {9-Spades}{8-Spades}, facing Chad Brown’s {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Dawley doubled to roughly 50,000. Brown slipped to about 150,000. About a half hour later, though, Dawley’s tournament came to an end.

Welch Forced to Fold - 4:08 PM

On the board of {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Ryan Welch check-called a bet of 14,000 from Blair Hinkle. The river completed the board with the {9-Spades} and Welch checked. HInkle put out a tall stack of chips to put Welch at risk for his last 70,000 or so if he were to go and Welch went into the tank. Welch took a couple minutes and then mucked his hand. Hinkle took the pot and moved to about 200,000.

E-Fro Licked - 4:14 PM

James Carroll and Eric Froelich got all the money in preflop after raising back and forth. Froelich held the {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Carroll held the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The board ran through {K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Froelich hit the rail. Carroll moved back up to 140,000 in chips.

On His Way Out - 4:15 PM

Eric Froehlich came pacing by table Levy/Parker on his way out the door, starting up at the ceiling and pulling the Full Tilt patch off his shirt as he made his way to the exit. Adam Levy let him get out of earshot before striking up a conversation with his neighbor Brock Parker.

"What do you think? Did he tweet already?"

"I don't know, he's usually pretty quick. I'll check. And I bet it'll be negative," Parker answered.

Levy just laughed. "Of course it'll be negative. That's, like, the default E-Fro." After another minute, Levy continued, "Has he ever tweeted, 'Life is beautiful. Just enjoying every moment of this lovely day.'? Nope."

One Pair for Stammen4:22 PM

Keven Stammen raised to 3,300 under the gun, and he found a call from small blind Chris Bell. Heads up, the two men watched a flop of , and Stammen continued out with a bet of 4,600. Bell check-called, and both men checked the turn. The landed on the river, and Stammen fired another bet, 7,300 this time. Bell quickly called, and Stammen didn't seem to like it. “One pair,” he said, and Bell waited for him to show. Stammen tabled his , and Bell mucked.

“Good one pair,” Bell said with a smirk. “When you said one pair...”

“I didn't mean anything by that,” Stammen half-apologized. “I'm just stupid.”

Incidentally, it looks like Chris Bell was eliminated just a few hands later.

Kohlberg KOs Bell4:29 PM

With the board reading {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, Curt Kohlberg went all in and put Chris Bell to the test for his last 47,000 chips or so. After a short while in the tank, Bell called with {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, but trailed Kohlberg’s {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The river was the {10-Clubs} and Bell was is out toward the end of Level 13. Kohlberg is up to about 195,000

Let's Just Turn a One-Outer - 4:35 PM

On the flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Frank Gu fired 3,500. Scott Mandel raised to 9,200 and then Bernard Lee flat-called. Action got back to Gu and he reraised to 26,500. Mandel then moved all in for about 35,000-40,000 and Lee folded, taking a minute before doing so though. Gu made the call and tabled the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. It was no good though to Mandel's {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Mandel was poised to double up, until the deal dealt the turn card. The turn smacked the board with the {7-Diamonds} and gave Gu quads and put him in front. Mandel couldn't find the case ten when the {8-Diamonds} hit the river and he was sent packing. Gu boomed his stack to about 275,000 thanks to this one-outer.
