Fighting Fire With Fire
One player today approached the desk during the break to thank us for the updates. He handed me his card which read: 'California State Firefighters' Association, Afrack Vargas.' "It's Mexican," he revealed as I inquired about the unusual name. "My mother read it in a newspaper."
It would appear as his thanks provided good karma, as just five minutes into the break Vargas doubled up to what appears to be around the 35,000 mark with 
versus 
on a 
board.
As he spotted me scribbling down the necessary details on my notepad, he leapt out of his chair, held his hands aloft and bellowed, "Snooooooooooops. Pokernews.com!!!" to provide us with some free advertising.
Cheque is currently in the post.
Clark Misses the Mark
Brunson 10 member Zachary Clark has taken an unfortunate hit and is now one of the current short stacks. All in preflop, Clark was in commanding shape with 
versus 
but an ace of space hit the 
flop, and after a lady-less 
turn and river, Clark was left with just 18,000.
Schneider Shoves
Alexander Wilson opened to 5,000 from the cutoff at our Table of Death, and Tom Schneider opted to defend his big blind.
The flop fell 
and Schneider checked to Wilson who continued for 6,800. Schneider called.
The turn was the 
and Schneider again checked. Wilson fired 13,600 and Schneider tanked for a bit before shoving for 49,500 total. Wilson thought for a bit before folding.
Schneider is now up to 75,000 chips.

Firing on all Cylinders
Tom Schneider is firing on all cylinders at the moment having just eliminated an opponent with 
versus 
on a king high board. He's now one of around 20 players to boast a 100,000 plus stack, but only one of 217 wearing multi-colored polka-dot shorts...
Sherwood Survives... Just
Manchester's Rob Sherwood found himself all in moments ago from the big blind with 
versus the 
of the under-the-gun player.They say poker's not an athletic sport, but you'd have to be in good shape not to have a heart attack on this board, the dealer rolling out an eventful 
to double the Brit through. He now has 83,000.
Biggs Busts Myung
John Myung moved all in for his remaining 23,000 chips and his only caller was Paul Biggs.
Showdown
Myung: 
Biggs:
The board ran 
, and Biggs' ace was good enough for the knockout.
Biggs is up to 54,000 chops while Myung is busto.
Munchies
Sean Hodge must have the munchies today as he's collated more chips than the Lay's factory. With 277,000 in front of him, he isn't the chip daddy, he's the chip grandaddy!
