Benson Battles

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

With Gary Benson in the small blind the under the gun player raised to 400 before getting one call in Gray Benson.

Flop: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

Benson checked and the player again showed aggression, betting out 700. The call from Benson would see the {j-Diamonds} roll off on the turn and a check from Benson again. The aggressor continued his betting, this time with 3,000.

Benson folded and left himself with around 3,000 behind. As soon as this hand finished Besnon was moved to another table across the other side of the room. If Benson wants to stay alive he is going to have to use the new location as inspiration to chip-up or he will find himself on the rail.

Only Look At One

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

We came to Peter Aristidou's table with a flop showing {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and a check to Aristidou.

Aristidou bet 400 and sent the action flying to the opponent on his right. The player had apparently only looked at one card and let it be known to the table, having a chip protecting the one he hadn't looked at.

At this point the player raised to 1,900 and put the decision on Arisitoud.

"I'm willing to bet the one you havn't looked at it better than that one your'e betting on," Aristidou said as he was contemplating his decision.

Aristidou made the fold and the player showed the card he had looked at to be the {7-Hearts}. Asking to see the other card Aristidou pointed out that he would have lost the bet as his opponent turned over {2-Spades}.

It was probably better that the player didn't look at both cards, having the worst hand possible may have turned him off playing at all and he never would have won the pot.

Micro Lee

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Cliff Lee just saw his tournament life on the line but as he said as an opponent called his allin preflop, "Don't worry mate, it isn't a short stack, its a micro stack."

Lee: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, the ace on the turn enough to keep Lee alive and double him up to 3,900.

First Bounty Gone

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Roberto Romanello (from earlier in the week)
Roberto Romanello (from earlier in the week)

The first bounty of the day has been collected, with Full Tilt Red Pro Roberto Romanello succumbing to the rail.

Romanello was short-stacked early and would be allin preflop with three players including New Zealand's Malcolm McDougall when the flop turned over {q-}{j-}{5-}.

McDougall would move allin on this flop and send the other two players to the muck, leaving himself as the lone chance to take down the bounty.

Romanello: {8-}{9-}
McDougall: {a-}{k-}

Romanello would need a {10-} to stay alive but the bricks on the turn and river wouldn't help as McDougall knocked out Romanello and gladly accepted the $1,000 bounty.

The Bounties

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

The bounties at the tables vary from big names to familiar names and unknowns but a quick look around the room will show you that Tyron Krost, Vesko Zmukic, Roberto Romanello and Mel Judah all have targets on their heads.

Graeme "KiwiG" Putt also features as a bounty, but it's the player on his direct right who is getting just as much attention and that is 2005 WSOP Main Event Champion, Joe Hachem.
