Spotting Amanda Baker over in the far part of the Black section of the Pavilion room, we saw her betting 250 on the {J-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop.

Her opponent made the call before calling Baker's 625-chip bet when the turn landed the {K-Spades}. Baker fired her third barrel of 1,400 when the river landed the {6-Diamonds}. Her opponent folded, and Baker picked up an early pot.

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

With the board reading {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds} Jonathan Plens was faced with a bet of 325.

Plens responded by raising to 1,150, and after his opponent deliberated for several minutes, he eventually made the call while saying, "You got a six?"

Plens tabled his {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} as his opponent added, "That's way better!"

Plens is now up to 7,700 in chips.

Kabrhel Exits Early

We got to the table to see Martin Kabrhel move the rest of his stack into the middle preflop, making it 1,850 total. Another player made the call and the hands were turned up with Kabrhel's tournament life on the line.

Kabrhel: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board fell {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Kabrhel's queens were cracked by his opponent's rivered straight. Kabrhel let out a sigh and quickly walked off toward the rail.

We can also confirm that Barry Shulman has busted from the tournament.

Bustlin' Bernard

"Yes! C'mon!" screamed Bernard Lee as he rose from his chair fist-pumping the air.

The board read {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{A-Spades} and it was Lee's {7-Spades}{6-Spades} up against the {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} of his two opponent's.

With Lee scooping the pot with his backdoor flush to move to just shy of 16,000, he explained us the details of the hand.

With a raise to 150, five players saw the flop before a bet and a raise on the flop reduced the field to just four. The turn saw the flop two-bettor move all in for his last 2,000 with Lee making the call before the third player in the hand moved all in. Lee made the call, and when he binked the river, he was a very happy man!
