Treys Good for Lawson

Shamus

Ted Lawson was down to 8,500 or so and found himself all in with K-K-6-3 versus an opponent's A-A-7-6. Lucky for Lawson, two threes came out on the board and he's bumped back up to 19,000.

Negreanu Takes His Rebuy Option Again

[user22113]

Down to 2,500 in chips, Erick Lindgren pushed all in and saw a four-way flop with Robert Williamson III, Daniel Negreanu, and Alex Kravchenko.

The flop came {J-Spades}

.

Kid Poker went all in, and found one caller in Robert Williamson III.

Negreanu showed: {7-Clubs}

for middle set
Williamson III showed: {K-Spades}

for the flush.
Lindgren mucked his hand.

The {6-Diamonds}

turn and the {Q-Hearts}

river did not help Daniel, as he and E-Dog rebought again. Williamson is now sitting at roughly 120,000.

Back from Break

Shamus

We're back. With blinds of 200/400, an opening preflop raise can range from 800 to 1,400.

Level: 3

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 0

Hallelujah

Shamus

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson has just arrived as we prepare to begin Level 3. He has taken his seat next to Hoyt Corkins and across from Barny Boatman.

Rebuy Option Available for One More Level

Shamus

Players are allowed to rebuy through the end of Level 3. One can rebuy whenever one's stack is at or below 10,000. Thus, when a player busts, that player can at that time rebuy for 10,000 (for $5,000) or double rebuy to 20,000 (for $10,000).

Just before the break, Daniel Negreanu had just made another double rebuy to 20,000, and more than doubled up on the last hand of Level 2. So he sits with about 45,000 at the moment.
