Saul Gets A Surprise
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
We caught the action on the turn of a 
board with three players checking, including Kevin Saul in last position. The river was the 
and the player first to act bet 500 into about a 3,000-chip pot. The second player made the call and Saul threw in his 500-chip as well proclaiming, "A gift!"
The bettor had 
while the first caller had 
. Saul tabled 
and was shipped the pot unexpectedly. Saul now has 25,400.
Welcome to the Tournament Mr. Batista
Chad Batista has recently joined the action after busting in the first flight. He's been at his seat for only a few hands and already picked up a pot on a 
board. He fired a bet and his opponent folded. Batista showed his hand --

Borrero Using The Limp
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
We've seen Miguel Borrero taking as many cheap flops as he can get.
In back to back pots he saw the flop for just 150 five ways and four ways respectively. Each time a bet on the flop picked up the pot and a resulted in a nice investment.

A Note on Alternates
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
It struck us as odd that the second flight has had alternates. The first flight had players sat as soon as they arrived. For this flight they started ten ten-handed tables then opened another table to reduce each table to nine-handed. Then they began a list of alternates. Up to this point all alternates have been sat but any late registrants will have to wait for an open seat.
Clock!
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
From middle position, a player opened with a raise to 300 and was called once before a third opponent three-bet to 1,600 from the cutoff. The player in the small blind thought for a bit before reraising to 4,450. The first two players folded but the player in the cutoff called.
The flop 
was seen heads up. The player first to act checked before the second player bet 4,000. He was called. The turn was the 
and again the preflop four-bettor check-called a bet worth 5,000. It was accompanied by some blatant displeasure (whether real or fake) with the way the hand had developed.
The river was the 
. This time, the first player decided not to wait and moved all in for his last 9,000 or so. After about five minutes of tanking, an uninvolved player at the table called the clock. The floor man arrived and after 60 seconds, the opponents hand was called dead.
Immediately, the player in the small blind angrily said, "Who called the clock?!" He was clearly frustrated that the players hand had been called dead without him having made a decision and he let the table know about it.
Longest Tank of the Circuit
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
One table in particular has seen lots of action in the early goings. No one has been eliminated yet but with the blinds still small players are betting in the 1,000s. In the latest hand three players all entered the pot for 150 and Mike Hahn bumped it to 1,075 from the small blind. The other players called and the flop came 
.
Hahn led out with 2,525 and got two calls -- including Troy Weber. The turn came 
and Hahn fired out 5,600. Weber then shoved all in with nearly an identical stack as Hahn.
Hahn went deep into the tank - nearly ten minutes. The clock rolled over into the second level before Hahn released his hand. Hahn pulled us aside to tell us he folded 
in that spot.
