Quintin Tramples
![[user253757]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Quintin Trammell opened for 450 from early position, finding three callers to see the flop fall 
.
The big blind player checked to Trammell, who c-bet for 1,075, and two players called with the button getting out of the way.
On the 
turn, the big blind checked again and Trammell fired away with a 2,075 wager. This time only the player in middle position called, with the big blind checking out.
The river produced the 
and Trammell suddenly slowed down by knuckling the felt. His opponent did the same and rolled over 
, but Trammell tabled the 
for a rivered straight.

The Land of Lind
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Kenneth Lind is one of the only players in the room right now who can claim to own a World Series of Poker gold bracelet, as he took down the Seniors Event Championship last summer.
Lind is a gregarious fellow prone to backclaps and banter, and his genuine interest in the players he meets during his tournament travels is evident in every exchange.
Like Barry Greenstein before him, this WSOP champion has taken to giving a gift to players who bust him from a tournament, and while Lind's calling card is not as flashy as an autographed copy of Ace on the River, it holds a certain meaning nonetheless.
We just saw Lind handing out another of these tokens of appreciation, with young grinder Pete Tarsiewicz the recipient of the unusual gift. Although Tarsiewicz did not dispatch Lind from the tournament (in actuality, Tarsiewicz himself went bust and Lind offered the card as a memento), he was appreciative of the curio given by a poker champion.
He was a little curious as well, heading over to the PokerNews Live Reporting desk to inquire about the mysterious handout, before chuckling when he heard the backstory. Tarsiewicz then headed to the registration desk to reenter, and if he plays his cards right on the felt and eventually busts Lind, he very well may have a pair of calling cards to call his own.

Rough Start for Leskowitz
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
After a bit of a rough start for Bryan Leskowitz, he finally picked up a pot.
There were two early position limpers before Leskowitz raised to 600. The action folded back to the two players, who came along for the ride, and the dealer fanned an all-heart flop; 
.
The two players checked, Leskowitz flipped out 1,100, and the two players immediately folded.
"You finally won one!" a player said excitedly, and although it was a bit of a needle, Leskowitz let out a grin.
