Farmer Knocks Chauhan Down

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

On the board of {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Chris Farmer checked to Sam Chauhan. Chauhan bet 1,500 and Farmer made the call to see the {10-Hearts} fall on the river. Farmer checked again and Chauhan bet 3,000. Farmer quickly announced a call.

"Good call," said Chauhan. Farmer then tabled the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} to win the pot. Chauhan was knocked back to 9,500 in chips.

Farmer will be looking to add another World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring to his collection. Erlier in this series, Farmer won a $200 No-Limit Hold'em event for $24,415. That's his second largest score as back in November 2008 he won a Venetian Deep Stack event for $24,504.

This Table's Broken

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

From our starting field of 187 (unofficially), we've already lost nine. There are 178 players left, and we're minus one table as Dennis Phillips' group has just been broken up.

Gates Barreling Away

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Garry Gates
Garry Gates

One player limped form middle position and another from the hijack seat before Garry Gates raised to 650 from the button. Action folded back to the first limper, Kevin Lockhart, and he made the call. The other player folded.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Lockhart checked. Gates bet 700 and Lockhart made the call.

The turn brought the {J-Spades} and Lockhart check-called Gates' bet of 2,000 very quickly before the {7-Diamonds} fell on the river. Lockhart checked and Gates bet 5,000. Lockhart thought for a half a minute and then folded.

Gates won the pot without showdown and improved to 22,000 in chips, back over the starting amount.

Traylor Gets Arnett to Fold

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

From the cutoff seat, Kristy Arnett opened with a raise to 250, two and a half times the big blind. Michael Traylor, who placed third in the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at Harvey's Lake Tahoe for $38,743, made the call from the big blind.

The flop was {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and both players checked to move the action to fourth street where the {8-Hearts} landed. Traylor bet out 325 and Arnett made the call.

The final card to the board was the {J-Hearts} and Traylor bet 650. Arnett thought a minute and then mucked her hand, dropping back a tiny bit to 27,000 and change.

The first two players checked to Arnett and she bet 1,975. Chauhan tanked for a minute or two and then made the call. Laxineta folded.

The turn card brought the {9-Diamonds} and Chauhan passed action over to Arnett once more. Arnett paused and then bet 4,000. Chauhan quickly mucked his hand and Arnett won the pot to improve to 28,000 in chips.
