Rough Level for Sexton

Level 3 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Mike Sexton is in trouble.
Mike Sexton is in trouble.

Mike Sexton had an awful afternoon thus far. The last level saw Sexton cash in both his rebuy lammers and Justin Bonomo still has both behind. Sexton is hovering around 30,000 will have to use the Hold'em level to stay alive.

Must Be Nice For Obrestad

Annette Obrestad yesterday
Annette Obrestad yesterday

Annette Obrestad is the latest player through after dismantling Ryan Franklin over the course of two hands.

Firstly she four-bet all-in with {7-}{8-} and beat Franklin's {a-}{k-}. She still had two lammers behind so told us she was risking the minimum with the move.

That left Franklin short and he shoved {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} from the button and was called by the Norwegian who had woken up with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The board ran out {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

Yockey Eliminates Froehlich, Koon Advances

We caught Eric Froehlich cashing in his last lammer after Bryce Yockey's pocket kings cleaned Froehlich's stack. The next hand Froehlich opened for 2,400, Yockey raised to 6,700 and Froehlich went all in. Yockey called and the hands were tabled.

Froehlich: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}
Yockey: {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

The board ran {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Spades} and Yockey shook Froehlich's hand.

One table over we saw Jason Koon eliminating Adam Kornuth.

Early Alert System

Level 4 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

The Rio's Early Alert System has been sounding off in the Amazon Room. Not single player, spectator or staff member seemed to care. The white noise of chips shuffling is the only sound players want to hear.

Pantling & Pope Advance, Sexton Swinging

Andrew Pantling and Trevor Pope have advanced on to the next round.

Mike Sexton has made a dramatic comeback and now has Justin Bonomo on the ropes. Sexton has a commanding lead and Bonomo is under 20,000.
