Jon Maren Eliminated - 5th Place ($56,019)

[user65508]

Jon Maren was eliminated after he had raised preflop and was called by Casey Kastle. The flop ran {K-Clubs}

and Jon moved all in after Casey had checked. Casey called and turned over 6-6-5-2 for a pair of sixes while Jon showed A-J-2-3 for a straight draw. The {2-Clubs}

fell on the river, giving Jon even more possibilities, but the {Q-Spades}

on the river was of little help and made Jon our fifth place finisher.

Tanking

[user65508]

Players today have gone into the tank on several occasions, without a clock being called on them yet. Whenever Casey Kastle is facing a large decision, he takes his time thinking it through before making a call. Each of the few flops that we see tends to bring heavy decisions with it.

Hand Recap

[user65508]

We've seen only a small amount of flops over the last several hands. Most action involves raising preflop and having everyone fold around. We've only had a couple of walks all day, as well as a couple of limps. It has been very seldom that a player will call a preflop raise.

Hat Change??

[user42991]

Until the dinner break, Casey Kastle has been wearing a Chicago Cubs hat. Upon returning from dinner break, he is wearing a Slovenija hat. How do you go from the Chicago Cubs to Slovenija?

Erik Seidel is still wearing the same hat...and he still looks bored.

Not Much Action

[user65508]

We've had four hands dealt since returning to break, but not a lot of action on any of them. We've had several preflop raises that continue to put an end to the hand.
