Huntly Clocked!
![[user135779]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Dennis Huntly is down to just 7,000 in chips after losing a big pot to Daniel Neilson.
We arrived at the table with a rather sizeable pot formed and the last of Neilson's stack in the middle while Huntly was agonizing over a decision. It must have been for quite a while, because the player to the right of the dealer called for a clock.
"You called for the clock?" Huntly said. "All right, I guess we can all wait then."
The tournament supervisor advised Huntly he had 60 seconds to act. "Hey Daniel, you wanna get a drink while we wait?" Huntly asked Neilson.
"Sure, if we can get a waitress in time," Neilson replied. The tournament supervisor advised Huntly he had 10 seconds to act, counted down from five and after the hand was ruled dead, Huntly flashed 
before dropping his hand into the muck.
"I think you saved me there, mate," Huntly said to the player who called time on him. "If you hadn't called the clock on me I would have been out of the tournament and at the bar!"
While Huntly isn't out, we can confirm that both Frederik Jensen and Roy Vandersluis have just been eliminated from the feature table. Karib Karib has now been moved to Jensen's seat.
Delaney Crushing Souls, As Always
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Over at table 30, we discovered that Jay "SEABEAST" Kinkade had taken over from Lee "Final Table" Nelson in seat five. We also saw that Ben Delaney was sitting on a mountain of chips. Natuarlly we had to enquire as to how he acquired said chips.
"I'm not sure if I really want to tell you," Delaney replied. He did share the details though (we insisted upon it), and he told us that he'd made a rather cheeky play with 
. The money ended up all in on the turn on a board that read 
(two clubs).
Nelson was way out in front with for top set, but Delaney binked the club on the river to flush Nelson away - and as a result, Delaney is now the outright chip leader with 145,000!
Boxell's Back in Business!
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Leo Boxell has now moved to more than 115,000 in chips after eliminating Tore Lukashagen in one of the last hands before the break.
We caught the action on the feature table with a flop that read 
; Lukashagen opened for 6,500, Boxell raised to 16,500 and Lukashagen reraised all-in. Boxell checked his cards, nodded and then made the call.
Lukashagen: 
Boxell: 
BINK! Down came the 
on the turn, giving Boxell the nut flush an leaving Lukashagen drawing dead. "Just like that, standard procedure," Lukashagen muttered as the dealer completed the board with the river 
.

Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
Jay "SEABEAST" Kinkade has just been eliminated at the hands of fellow Aussie online phenom Ben Delaney who now holds 146,000 in chips.
The money was all-in the middle before the flop; Kinkade was risking his tournament life with 
, but unfortunately he ran into Delaney's 
.
Neither hand improved on the board of 
and Kinkade was sent to the rail. He's also been joined by Neil Channing and Barry Woods and we're now down to just 72 players.

Jarvis Cast Out, Seal Broken
Level 7
: 300/600, 75 ante
2010 WSOP November Niner Matt Jarvis has been eliminated by Kosta Varoxis, who is now holding a stack worth 93,000 in chips as the action continues with 54 players left in this event.
As Varoxis recalled to us, the money was all-in on a flop that read 
; Jarvis was the all-in player with 
but ran into Varoxis' two pair with .
A short time later, the crowd erupted around table 26 and we saw some rare emotion from Emmanuel "Curly" Seal who exclaimed, "That's so sick!" as the dealer shipped the pot over to Ami Barer.
The reason? Seal had moved all-in preflop for his last 3,475 with 
but Barer had called with 
which had improved to a straight after the dealer spread the board of 
.
Full Tilt Red Pro Billy "The Croc" Argyros is still carrying on about Barer, rather loudly, we might add, as he may have consumed a few glasses of wine during the dinner break. And when Croc's on the sauce, you know you're in for a few laughs!
And all amongst the hullabaloo from Argyros' table, we also saw tablemates Daniel Neilson and Dennis Huntly head for the rail. We're now down to just 54 players.
