Over at Table 7, two big stacks just clashed. It happened when the first-big-stacked player raised to 2,500 from middle position and the players in the small blind called. Zoltan Czinkota, who was sitting with a mountain of chips in the big, then three-bet to 10,000 from the big.
The original raiser called, the small blind folded, and the flop came down ![]()
![]()
. Czinkota led out for 7,000 and was immediately raised to 27,000.
Czinkota called and then both players proceeded to check the
turn as well as the
river. The middle-position player showed the ![]()
for a pair of kings but it was no good as Czinkota had a bigger pair with his ![]()
.

Players are now on their second 15-minute break of the day. Late registration and re-entry will come to a close when they return.
Derrick Contreras, who back in October won the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS) Council Bluffs Main Event in Omaha, recently took his seat in the tournament and it didn't take long for him to bink a double.
It happened after the under-the-gun player raised to 2,000 and both the hijack and button called. Contreras then three-bet to 7,400 from the small blind, the original raiser and hijack both folded, and the button called to see the ![]()
![]()
flop.
Contreras moved all in for his last 11,000 and the player on the button quickly called.
Derrick Contreras: ![]()
![]()
Button: ![]()
![]()
Contreras had the overpair and he held when the
bricked on the turn followed by the
on the river.
"I told you this was going to be a lucky seat," Contreras said as he pulled in the pot.
