Four levels are in the books here in the 1d flight, and that means players are on their first 10-minute break of the day.
Rob Beneford raised to 1,000 from middle position and Francis Toscano three-bet all in for 4,200 from the hijack. Brad Kane called out of the big blind, Beneford put in the additional 3,200, and the flop came out .
Both active players checked and did the same on the turn and river. There was a straight on the board but it wouldn't be a chop.

Kane had a jack-high straight and that was enough to send Toscano to the rail.

Anthony Dianaty, who was in early position, raised to 700 and Duane Dekeyser called from middle position. The button came along, as did the player in the big blind, and it was four-way action to the flop.
Two checks saw Dekeyser bet 1,200, the button and big blind both folded, and Dianaty called to see the turn.
Dianaty check-called a bet of 3,000 and then checked for the third time on the river. Dekeyser checked behind with his and it was good as Dianaty sent his hand to the muck.

Action folded to Jordan Robinson in the small blind and he opted to raise to 800, which Christine Holubeck called from the big.
When the flop fell , Robinson tossed in a single T1,000 chip and Holubeck promptly folded.
Not really an exciting hand but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their counts.
