Rex Roars Into Six Figures

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante
Rex Clinkscales (Day 1)
Rex Clinkscales (Day 1)

Board: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Randy Spain moved all in for what looked like 40,000 or so, sending Rex Clinkscales into the tank.

"I can beat ace-king," he said.

He was worried about running into a set of sevens, but eventually, Clinkscales made the call. Spain showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for a pair of aces, and true to his word, Clinkscales flipped over a better hand: {a-Spades}{6-Spades} for two pair.

Spain was eliminated, while Clinkscales now has around 120,000 chips.

Miles Wins Massive Pot

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

When we arrived at Table 53, Sterling Savill was all in and two players, including Tony Miles, had called. Wade Woelfel, who finished second in the 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Atlantic City Main Event, re-shoved, and the action folded back to Miles, who snap-called.

Savill: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Miles: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Woelful: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The aces held as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and Woelful now sits with 195,000 chips.

Savill is out, and Woelful is left with roughly 32,000.

Barbour Shop

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante
Natasha Barbour (Day 1)
Natasha Barbour (Day 1)

Action folded around to Natasha Barbour's button. She made it 3,200 to go and received calls from both the small and big blinds.

The dealer fanned a flop of {2-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and there were two checks back to Barbour. She fired 3,300 and the small blind stuck around. The big blind released and the dealer showed the remaining two a {3-Diamonds} as the turn card. Once again the small blind checked and this time Barbour bet 4,300. Her opponent, however, cut into his stack and came out with a raise to what looked like 10,600. Barbour wasted little time calling.

The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board and Barbour's opponent moved out a large stack of t1,000 chips for an amount that we couldn't quite make out. Barbour did not even hesitate when dropping in calling chips. Her opponent showed {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for nothing but a busted flush draw. Barbour rolled over {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of sixes and it earned her a sizable pot. She's now sitting on about 125,000.

Super-Tank-Call from Pipitone

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

When we arrived at the table, the dealer was pulling in 15,000-chip bets from both Jonathan Bakhshian and Carl Pipitone. The board was {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and the dealer rapped the table, then spiked the {10-Hearts} onto the felt.

Pipitone checked, and Bakshian moved all in for effectively 25,900. Pipitone went deep into the tank, and two minutes later he stood up.

"So sick," he blurted.

Another minute passed, and then a player called the clock.

"I hate to do it," he said. "But it's been three minutes."

The floor was called, and gave Pipitone one more minute to act. With just five seconds left in his time bank, Pipitone called.

"Good call," Bakhshian sighed.

Pipitone tabled {k-Spades}{3-Spades} for kings and tens, and was relieved that he wasn't counterfeited.

Preflop Raising War

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Facing an open, Kenneth Hicks three-bet to 7,200 on the button. Zhen Cai cold four-bet to 15,000 from the big blind, and the action folded back to Hicks, who clicked in back, five-betting to 24,000.

Cai quickly grabbed a handful of red T5,000 chips, six-betting to 55,000, and Hicks quickly folded.

Gimbel's Is Bigger

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We came to the table to see Harrison Gimbel and an opponent looking down at a completed board that read {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. Gimbel's opponent was facing a bet of 15,000 from the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event champion.

After a moment, Gimbel's opponent called and Gimbel rolled over {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. His opponent dejectedly threw over {A-}{Q-}, showing that Gimbel had him outkicked. By scooping this pot, Gimbel has now boosted his stack to about 140,000.
