Landon Brown Puts the Heat On

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Just as the big blind rushed back into his seat, Landon Brown raised to 2,500 from under the gun. The action folded to the big blind who called to go heads-up to a flop. The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and the big blind check-called a bet of 4,000 from Brown.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and the big blind checked again. Brown eyed up his opponent's stack of 18,000 and then shoved all in. His opponent wasted little time before dispatching his cards and Brown collected the pot.

Brown is On a Runaway Train

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Benjamin Brown
Benjamin Brown

Three players headed to a flop of {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} with around 18,000 in the middle already. The action checked to Bob Boyer on the button who bet 10,000. Benjamin Brown splashed in a check-raise to 30,000 which forced the third player out. Boyer moved all in for around 60,000 and Brown snap-called.

Benjamin Brown: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Bob Boyer: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Brown had a stranglehold on the hand in yet another massive pot. The {9-Spades} on the turn locked it up and the {a-Spades} on the river was just a formality.

Thivyanathan Jumps Straight Into the Action

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Aaron Thivyanathan was one of the latest entries into the last flight of the Main Event and he isn't wasting any time getting involved. After Thivyanathan raised it up from the cutoff, the small blind was the only caller. The flop came {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and both players checked.

The {a-Clubs} landed on the turn and the small blind led out for 6,000. Thivyanathan called and the {9-Clubs} hit the river. The small blind flicked in another 6,000 and Thivyanathan called again. The small blind knuckled the table and Thivyanathan showed {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} to scoop the pot.

Trio of Ladies Chop Up Event #3: $130 Monster Stack

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Today's Ante Up Poker Tour Main Event in the Silks Poker Room at Tampa Bay Downs is the culmination of a six-event series that's been taking place all week long.

On Tuesday, Event #3: $130 No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack drew 47 entries, which meant there was a small overlay to the $4,559 generated prize pool. Only the top six players were supposed to get paid, but with seven left they all agreed to pay the bubble $130, which went to Joao Figueiredo.

In the end, the final three ladies worked an equal chop for $1,220 apiece.
