Sixth Table Opens

Level 3 : 100/300, 0 ante

Tournament organizers had enough players enter in the last few minutes that they opened a new table without having to pull players from other tables. Ten-handed play is the standard until Day 2 on Sunday at the Golden Gates. Due to the limited space and keeping things the same for all players across the flights, organizers prefer to open new tables when they have enough players on hand.

Verbal, Mistaken Slowroll by Carrales

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Daniel Carrales, Ben Keeline and Craig Casino each put in 1,200 preflop to see {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Action checked to Keeline, he bet 1,500, Craig Casino folded and Carrales raised to 3,000. Keeline called, the turn came {J-Spades} and both players checked.

The river came {8-Spades}, Carrales bet 5,000 and Keeline called. "I have two pair," Carrales said.

Keeline tabled {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair and Carrales paused a moment before saying, "Actually, I have a straight."

He tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a queen-high straight and apologized for misreading his hand. He told Keeline it was an honest mistake and he meant no offense.

Hodges Tortures Mangold

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Four players went to a raised flop of {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Jason Mangold checked from the small blind and Will Hodges bet 6,000 from the big. Both players behind folded, Mangold called and the turn came {K-Clubs}.

Mangold took a few moments before checking, Hodges moved all in and Mangold heard it was 36,100 after he asked for a count.

"I flopped a pretty good flush," Mangold said. "But I don't think I can call." He sent his cards into the muck and Hodges took the pot without a word.

"I had {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}," Mangold said. "Seeing ace king would have killed me there."
