Alsup Won't Show

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Rich Alsup appeared to have gotten in a raising war with an opponent on his right, in middle position, on a {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop. Alsup had put in the latest word, 25,000 over a bet of 7,300. His opponent thought awhile and folded, asking Alsup if he had jack-ten.

"Come on, show the five-six," someone else said.

"I wish I had that, so I could show it," Alsup said.

Stammdogg Down Early

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Keven Stammen bet 2,000 from the small blind on {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades} and Mike Kamenjarin called him from the hijack. On the {6-Spades} river, Stammen check-folded for a bet of 4,000, leaving himself with about 6,000.

That was gone in short order, but we expect to see "Stammdogg" back in action soon.

Sibson Doubles Before Break

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Three players saw a {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop for 1,900 apiece on a three-bet out of the cutoff. Tracy Sibson got his stack of 15,900 in on the flop against the preflop aggressor, having outflopped {k-}{k-} with {10-}{10-} for a set. The turn and river ran clean for Sibson and he headed on break with a freshly doubled stack.

Players return to action in 15 minutes.

Whittington Busted

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Blake Whittington
Blake Whittington

On a flop of {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, Blake Whittington raised all in from middle position over an opponent in late position. That player had put in 6,000 into a pot of about 10,000, and Whittington jammed for 22,900. His opponent thought a bit and called, and Whittington tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the nut flush draw.

He was up against {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and the board bricked out with {j-Spades} and {2-Clubs} to leave Whittington heading to reenter, which he did straight away.
