Izzet Hot in Here

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Izzet Temel
Izzet Temel

Izzet Temel is off to a good start today to say the least and he made it look easy in his most recent hand when he opened the action and a player three to his left re-raised him. Temel took one look at his opponent's stack and announced that he was all in, easily having him covered. His opponent made the mistake of calling with {A-}{Q-} as Temel had woken up with a legitimate hand, the good old {A-}{A-}.

After the board ran out safe for Temel, table mate Alex Rocha said to him "so that's how you do it".

Temel is the current chip leader with 380,000 in chips.

Matt Salbserg has been eliminated and is in line for Event 9, which has a few minutes left to register. Here's Salbserg telling the Twitter world how it went down:

Pillai Climbing

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Shankar Pillai and Daniel Buzgon were just entangled in a heads-up pot with the board reading {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and Pillai bombed 45,000 on the river. Buzgon went into the tank for a bit before committing the necessary chips to make the call, and Pillai showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for a full house.

Buzgon hung his head, then flicked his cards into the muck.

Orgil Out

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Richard Rossetti raised to 2,300 from under the gun, Daniel Orgil called all in, having exactly 2,300, and Frank Toscano re-raised, making it 12,000 to go on the button. Rossetti folded.

Orgil flashed the {a-Diamonds}, keeping the other card behind it, and Toscano refused to show the rest of his hand at first. Finally, he tabled his cards.

"You're going to need two," he said, showing {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}.

Orgil didn't have two, revealing the {7-Clubs}, and hit the rail when the flop, turn, and river came {2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Toscano chipped up to 135,000.

Jonathan Little (Day 1a)
Jonathan Little (Day 1a)

Jonathan Little was all in and at risk for what looked like 15,000 preflop. Kyle Bowker had already called, and Kenneth Lind, the original raiser, was in the tank.

After well over a minute, he folded {2-}{2-} face up.

Little: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Bowker: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Little was eliminated as the board came {6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and Bowker chipped up to 55,000.

Matt Affleck (Day 1a) doubles
Matt Affleck (Day 1a) doubles

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer say over on Table 1.

When we arrived, Matt Affleck was at risk with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}, but he wasn't really "at risk" because the board was {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and James Campbell was drawing dead holding {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

According to Affleck, the money went in on the flop, and after a meaningless {7-Hearts} completed the board, he doubled to 142,000 chips. Campbell fell to 41,000.
