Mazza Triples Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We saw the aftermath of an all in between three players. The board read {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Gene Mazza had {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} in front of him for a full house, while the other two players held {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a missed combo draw and {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} for top two.

Another late addition to the field: Dan Buzgon.

Snuffer Ships the Turn

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We found Cotton Snuffer in the small blind with a bet of 4,125 in front of him. The board read {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and a player under the gun made the call. Tom Frith called behind them. The turn brought a {10-Diamonds}, and Snuffer shoved for 23,275. The first player tanked for about two minutes before folding, and Frith quickly folded as well.

Natale Kuey already has a second-place finish here.

We found Natale Kuey staring at a board of {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} with an opponent acting in front of him. The player moved all in, and Kuey called instantly. He turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the nuts, he had his opponent covered. Kuey, who finished runner-up in yesterday's seniors event, is off to a good start on his quest to do one better in this event.

DeFrancisco Catches a Move

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a flop of {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Anthony DeFrancisco bet 4,400 only to see an opponent check-raise to 11,625. DeFrancisco thought for a bit before stacking all of his chips in a tower and dropping that tower into the middle. The check-raiser asked for a count before making the call for another 9,075.

"I guess you got the king," DeFrancisco said. His opponent hesitated, shaking his head slightly.

"I thought you were making a move," DeFrancisco said. He was right.

DeFrancisco: {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

The {7-Diamonds} turn added a sweat since it gave DeFrancisco's opponent a flush draw, but the {7-Clubs} river left the player playing the board.

Vales Makes a Big Call

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ron Vales was facing a bet of 11,000 on the end with the board reading {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. After tanking for a little bit, he made the call. His opponent turned over {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for sixes up, and Vales showed {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a better two pair.

"Wow," his opponent mouthed.

Also, Erik Cajelais just bought a stack of chips.
