The Mangold Wrecking Crew

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Table 13 turned into the Jason Mangold show approaching the last break. He busted three or four players as the floorman kept bringing him players. He's the only player with a six-figure stack at this point and in reality, he could take the rest of the day off and still challenge for the chip lead.

Casino Riding a Rush

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Craig Casino was down to 6,500 just a few levels ago and worked his way back up to second in chips. We caught him in a hand on a board of {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Kim Criter moved all in for 19,400, Casino called and Daniel Carrales called.

The turn came {Q-Spades}, Casino announced all in and Carrales folded. Criter showed {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} but Casino had her beat with {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a flopped flush. The river was the {2-Spades}.

The next hand Carrales open-shoved what was left of his stack and action folded around to Casino in the big blind. "This is really borderline," he said when he called holding {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Carrales tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} but the board ran Casino's way with {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for a flush.
