Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brandon Mincher, who had recently re-entered, opened to 2,500 from early position. Joe McKeehen, sat to his direct left, made it 6,600 to go, and Mincher called once it had folded back to him.
Mincher then check-called a bet of 4,000 on the 4♠9♥9♦ flop, and check-called another on the 8♦ turn, this time to the tune of 8,000.
The Q♣ then peeled off on the river, and Mincher checked for a third time. McKeehen pushed forward a stack of T-5,000 chips, putting his opponent's stack of 22,400 at risk. Mincher thought for a while before folding.
At another table, Alan Sternberg entered the event.
