A Couple Counts

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Phillip Bullmaster is off to a hot start with more than double his starting stack.

Dan Boltz just took down a small pot to come back over 20,000. Boltz was one of four limpers preflop and when the flop came {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} the action checked to him. He bet 700 and got one caller.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and his opponent checked. Boltz bet 1,100 and that was enough to take down the pot when his opponent folded.

Lieder On Top

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Linda Lieder
Linda Lieder

Linda Lieder has shot to the top of the leaderboard with a double up through Randy Clinger.

The action started when Clinger limped under the gun and the next player to act made it 700. Lieder reraised to 2,300 and the action fell to Nick Guagenti. He took a few moments before eventually folding.

As soon as the action was on him, Clinger shoved all in. He was sitting at around 63,000 and had Lieder covered. The original raiser folded and it was Lieder's turn to act.

"Alright, I call," she said, turning over pocket queens.

Clinger showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} and it was a race. When the dust settled, Lieder would be in the chip lead as the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

Alan Wentz is the Worst Player At His Table

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Alan Wentz took down two pots in a row.

Wentz won the first hand against Ryan Kalb. Kalb opened for 350 and Wentz raised to 1,050. The flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both players checked. Kalb checked to Wentz again when the {5-Clubs} hit the turn. Wentz put out a bet and Kalb quickly folded.

On the next hand, Kalb raised to 350 again. This time Wentz called along with two other players, one of whom was HPO Ambassador Chris Moneymaker. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} and all four players checked. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Moneymaker led for 550. Kalb called and Wentz raised to 2,200.

Moneymaker folded and Kalb called. The river was the {k-Clubs} and both players checked. Wentz turned over {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for top pair and that was good enough to win the pot after Kalb mucked.

"I'm the worst player at the table," Wentz said, "I'm trying to prove it."

Wentz stacked his second pot in a row with a smile on his face.
