Mitch Carle started the day as the chip leader and manged to continue adding to that stack early in the day. Carle has been a little quieter this afternoon, but is still one of the leaders and is still managing to take out a few players.
One of Carle's casualties recently was Joey Baker, who would need a lot of help holding against the of Carle.
The board ran out ,with a bit of a sweat for Baker on the turn, but it wasn't meant to be, as Baker hit the rail.
James Obst opened the pot to 4,300 and action was folded around to the player in the small blind who moved his stack all in.
When action came back around to Obst, he instantly pushed a stack of 5,000-denomination chips into the middle, more than enough to cover his opponents all-in bet.

Obst was looking good to add to his growing stack, while one player was looking towards the rail as the board ran out .
David Steicke raised to 6,000 preflop and sent the action to George Moussa on his direct left. It then took Moussa a good three minutes to decide what his next move was going to be. He leaned over and checked Steicke's stack multiple times and then eventually decided to fold.
With Moussa out of the hand the action quickly folded around to Cole Swannack in the big blind and he quickly three-bet to 15,200. Steicke thought for a few moments before folding his hand. Maybe Swannack saw what Moussa didn't, or his hand was just that good.
A middle-position Jonathan Karamalikis raised it up to 3,200 and received calls from Joey Baker and Jesse McKenzie in the blinds.
Flop:
McKenzie and Baker both checked to the aggressor, with Karamalikis making it 6,500 to see a turn. Only Baker would make the call and watch as an rolled off on the turn. This time Baker would lead and Karamalikis would call the 6,200-chip bet.
The river came the and again Baker lead, this time for 8,000. Karamalikis made the call and took down the pot when his for a rivered flush trumped the of Baker.
Koray Turker can't seem to put a foot wrong, raising and calling with hands like six-nine, at exactly the right times and using his giant stack perfectly. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he seems to be hitting all the right cards, at all the right times.
Mario Palma made a raise from the button and was quickly reraised by Turker in the small blind. Palma made the call to see the flop fall .
On the flop, Turker led for 14,200 which prompted Palma to move all in for around 70,000. Turker snap-called and the players turned their hands over.

Turker:
The flopped two pair for Turker held up with no help for Palma and that meant that once again Turker added to his growing stack by sending another player home.
We came to the table with a board showing and Sal Fazzino in the hand up against Andrew Hinrichsen.
Fazzino checked his action to Hinrichsen, who bet 9,800. A call from Fazzino would see the hit the river.
Fazzino again checked and Hinrichsen pushed a small pile of 5,000-denomination chips into the middle. The bet from Hinrichsen was enough to cover Fazzino, and when he made the call, Fazzino mucked his cards as he saw Hinrichsen's for top two pair.
