Chi Town Chad Brown

According to his Twitter account, Chad Brown has been grinding at the WSOP-C here in Hammond since the start of the series. His hard work paid off yesterday - Brown finished second in Event #9, earning $9,920 for his efforts.

Today, Brown is trying to parlay his success into a deep Main Event run.

In a recent hand, Brown called a 600-chip raise from an opponent in early position, and the flop came {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The player made a continuation bet, Brown called, and the turn was the {6-Clubs}. Both players checked.

The {3-Spades} completed the board, and the player fired 1,200. Brown called, and the player turned over {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a pair of aces.

Brown mucked his hand, but is still very healthy with around 30,000 chips.

Holloway Tries To Make Day 1b Better Than Day 1a

PokerNews' own Chad Holloway had a rough go yesterday, but is right back in action today trying to right the ship. Just recently, he opened to 475 from middle position and found one call from the player in the hijack seat.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and Holloway fired 650. His opponent folded, and Holloway won the pot to move to 29,000 in chips.

Shortly after this, Holloway flopped trip jacks in a hand against an opponent who held an overpair with pocket queens. The money went all in on the flop, but Holloway's opponent backed into a straight and doubled up. Holloway was kicked back to 22,000 in chips.
