and Krouner called a bet from Newall.

David Gee raised from middle position and then Norman Lapin called from late position. Mark Klecan was in the small blind and called as well. The flop came down 
and action checked to Gee. He fired a bet and Lapin raised. Klecan folded, but Gee made the call and off to fourth street they went.

was added to the board. Gee checked and then Lapin bet. Gee made the call.

As a lot of players start picking up chips, those less fortunate ones lose chips. Some of those that lose chips, lose all of their chips and end up hitting the rail, or maybe the Bad Beat Bar down the hallway for some alcohol to ease the pain. Seth Baker, Dave Tobin, Taylor Raines, Robert Como, Kenneth Wehrenberg and Chad Siu are all recent casualties of the event and failed to make it through level one.
When we arrived at the table the flop was reading 
and Toto Leonidas opened the pot. Joseph Lopes called and Ken Dickenson check-raised under the gun. Both players called.
Turn: 
Lopes bet, and both players called.
River: 
Lopes lead the pot again, and was called by both players again.
Dickenson tabled pocket queens and took the pot. His now up 40,000 chips.
Toto slipped to only 4,000 and Lopes is down to 24,000.
You can now add Sorel Mizzi to the list of souls who've left Event No. 18. Mizzi raised in middle position and then Andrew Brussard reraised from the button. Mizzi made it four bets and Brussard called.
The flop came down 
and Mizzi bet. Brussard raised and Mizzi called. On the turn when the 
fell, Mizzi check-called a bet from Brussard and was all in. MIzzi held the 
and Brussard the 
. The 
fell on the river and Brussard was able to three-out Mizzi and send him to the rail. Brussard moved up to 65,000 chips.
