Andros Ioakimides
Andros Ioakimides

Brandon Smith has brought Andros Ioakimides down to earth.

Smith flopped a set of eights, then got all his chips in once Ioakimides turned an open ender.

The river bricked and Smith doubled.

Dinner Break

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

With six full levels now in the books the remaining players have been sent off on a 60-minute dinner break.

Play will resume little after 6:30 p.m. local time with plans to play another eight levels.

Down By The River

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Yet another lucky river card has vaulted a player up near the top of the counts.

This time the beneficiary was Travis Smith, who got it in holding {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} on a {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board against one opponent with {K-}{8-}.

The {Q-Diamonds} river made Smith's day an even better one.

Riverboat Gambler

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Dorianne May
Dorianne May

Dorianne May has moved into the top spot on the leaderboard after a very fortunate river card helped her bust one opponent.

May had bet 6,000 on the turn of a {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades} board and sat in the tank for a good two minutes when her opponent pushed in for a little more than 20,000 total.

She eventually made the call with {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for two pair and was behind her opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} Broadway straight.

However, the {10-Spades} river changed all that as May filled up and her opponent hit the rail.
