The Big Event at The Bicycle Casino
We didn't catch the hand but we can confirm that Bryn Kenney has been eliminated from the Big Event.
We were just taking a walk around the room when we noticed Tom Lee playing at the same table as Chris DeMaci. Lee might not be a household name, but he has certainly had his fair share of success especially here at the Bicycle Casino.
In August of last year, Lee finished third in the World Poker Tour's 2010 Legends of Poker for $174,772 (That event was eventually won by Andy Frankenberger). In the same event back in 2007, Lee managed to finish in 22nd place for $25,120. Finally, Lee made his first WPT final table way back in 2004 in, you guessed it, the same event. He finished sixth for $99,150 in that event, which was won by Doyle Brunson.
Needless to say, Lee's success here at the Bike gives him some home-field advantage.

In early position, Kyle Bowker opened with a raise to 500, and action folded to Nick Mitchell on the button. He flicked in T1,000 chips, but we couldn't tell whether it was a reraise or a call. It didn't matter. In the small blind, James Mackey reraised to 1,725, and now only Bokwer called to see a flop.
It came
, and Mackey continued out with a bet of 2,025. Bowker called, and his float earned him a check on the
turn. Bowker took his cue to bet 3,525, and Mackey didn't waste much time calling. He checked again on the
river, and this time Bowker checked it back.
Mackey tabled
for top two, and it was good. Dragging that pot moves him up to about 33,000, while Bowker is back to 20,025.
With 1,500 in the pot and a flop of 

, a player in middle position bet 1,000 and only Masa Kagawa, who was in position in the cutoff, made the call. When the dealer burned and turned the
, the middle position player checked and Kagawa bet 2,000. It was enough to take down the small pot and Kagawa increased his stack to 39,000.
Pat Pezzin was all in for 15,700 on the turn with the board reading 


. His opponent tanked for a bit and then made the call.
Pezzin: 

Opponent: 

The river completed the board with the
and secured the double for Pezzin. He's up to 42,000 in chips now.
Chino Rheem raised to 600 from middle position and received calls from the players on the button and small blind. All three players checked the 

flop, leading to the
on the turn. At this point the small blind fired out 1,350, Rheem raised to 3,100, the button folded, and the small blind made the call.
When the
hit the river, Rheem wasted little time in betting 7,000. The small blind took his time before making the call. "I missed," Rheem said as he rapped the table. The small blind showed 
to take down the pot as Rheem's chips dropped to 16,500.
Action folded the Shannon Shorr in the cutoff seat and he raised to 525. The button and small blind both called before the flop came down 

. The small blind checked and Shorr bet 600. Both his opponents folded and Shorr tabled the 
for quad aces.
