Kings Propel McColgan to 400K
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We happend upon the action with 80,000 already pulled into the pot and a board reading 
. We're not sure of the action, but we do know Kevin McColgan had a stack of gray T5,000 out in front of him and action was on David Melius, who had around 75,000 behind.
Melius thought for a few minutes before calling off, and it proved to be the wrong decision as his 
was no good against the 
of Melius.

There's No Rhyme or Reason
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Jaspreet Panchhi opened for 6,000 only to be met by a three-bet to 16,500 by WSOP Circuit ring winner and Foxwoods fifth-place finisher Ben Reason, who was recently featured in an edition of PokerNews' popular Circuit Grinder series. Panchhi responded by moving all in for 110,000 and Reason snap-called.
Panchhi: 
Reason: 
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down 
. Panchhi flopped trips to take a commanding lead while Reason was suddenly looking for an eight to reclaim the lead. The 
turn wasn't what he was looking for and neither was the 
.
"Nice hand," was all Reason offered as he sent more than half his stack to Panchhi.

Saul Bust While Alesna More Than Doubles
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
There will be no second World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event title for Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul in the 2012-2013 season as he had been eliminated.
The Foxwoods Main Event champ called off his last 12,500 after Joseph Alesna had moved all in from early position for 23,000. Michael Benton then called from the button to put both players at risk.
Saul: 
Alesna: 
Benton: 
Everyone held an ace, which meant Alesna's king kicker had him out in front. Saul had the worst of it and was out of his seat before he saw the 
flop paired his nine to give him the lead. The turn brought him one step closer to a triple, but the 
spiked on the river to give Alesna the pot.
Saul, clearly disappointed, threw his backpack off the stage and quickly disappeared to retrieve it.

Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Robert Harwell returned today as the short stack with 2,000. Not surprisingly, he was the eliminated on the first hand of play and became the day's first casualty.
Also being eliminated on the first hand at his table was Paul Hutson, who was followed out the door by Don Mathews a short time later.
