Carlton Doubles Through White

Level 17 : 1,500/300, 500 ante

Action folded all of the way around to Antoine White in the small blind who looked at his cards and announced that he was all in. Everett Carlton, who was sitting on 55,500 in the big blind slowly looked at his hand.

Once his eyes met the cards he immediately announced call and tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. White rolled over {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and was saddened to find his opponent woke up with pocket aces.

The flop brought White hope when it fell {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, giving him a straight draw.

"Ten-ball!" yelled White.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs}, teasing with another four-across card. Ultimately it was not meant to be for White, as the {5-Diamonds} struck the river, ensuring that Carlton would double to about 115,000.

Jukich Increases Lead

Level 17 : 1,500/300, 500 ante

The flop read {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Mike Jukich was heads up with a lone opponent. It was checked to Jukich and he fired out 7,000. A call prompted the dealer to produce the {7-Hearts} on the turn. The action went check-check and the {Q-Spades} finished off the board. Another check to Jukich prompted a bet of 13,000 that was instantly called.

Jukich's opponent showed {10-}{8-} for a pair of tens but was disappointed to find that Jukich held {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens with a better kicker. Jukich has now extended his lead even further and holds about 560,000 in chips.

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

White checked over to McKeehen who continued for 22,000. White wasted no time announcing that he was all in and McKeehen quickly folded. White picked up the pot and is thriving here after the dinner break with about 330,000 in chips. McKeehen has fallen to around 60,000.

Overton Takes a Hit

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The board read {K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Aaron Overton checked on over to his opponent. Overton's opponent fired 5,000 and Overton decided to stay the course.

The river brought a second pair to the felt with the {7-Clubs} and Overton checked yet again. His opponent shot 16,200 into the middle and Overton called. Overton's cards went straight to the muck, though, after he saw his opponent's {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for sevens full of treys. With this his, Overton's stack has decreased to about 260,000.

Christopher Doubles; Mascagni Crippled

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We caught up to hear the words "all in" and "call" over on Tom Christopher and Coury Mascagni's table.

The flop read {6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Christohper was all in for his tournament life. He held {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for top two pair against Mascagni's {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. The {K-Spades} dropped down on the turn giving Christopher a full house and the {j-Hearts} finished off the board. Mascagni was forced to ship 104,000 across the table and was left with only around 20,000 in chips.

Clinkscales Busts Prasetyo

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Aditya Prasetyo opened the action with a raise to 5,300 from the cutoff. Tom Christopher called out of the small blind only to have Rex Clinkscales three-bet to 17,500 from the big blind.

Prasetyo four-bet all in for 71,000 total and Christopher got out of the way. Clinkscales thought for a bit, let loose a hopeful sigh, and announced a call.

Clinkscales: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Prasetyo: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}

Clinkscales was out in the lead and stayed that way through the board of {3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Clinkscales yelped out a cry of joy as the river was dealt and the pot was pushed his way. The National Championship points leader is now sitting on about 195,000 in chips.

No Repeat Champion

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Christopher Bonn, the reigning champion of this event, has fallen.

We arrived at the table to see Bonn all in and at risk holding {A-Spades}{6-Spades} before the flop. Unfortunately for the ring holder, Jeff Wicker held {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and was crushing him.

The board came down {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and Bonn's fate was sealed. Wicker scooped up the pot and is now sitting on about 170,000.
