Sebok Busts

Joe Sebok began the day flopping a flush and adding a few thousand chips to his stack early, but has since given all his chips away. First, Sebok lost a big chunk of his stack with pocket kings against Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin's pocket aces. He then ran kings into another opponent's quads to bust out.

Madsen Broke Early

After a player under the gun raised to 150, Jeff Madsen called. A player in later position reraised to 350 and both the under-the-gun player and Madsen called.

The flop brought {9-?} {5-?} {4-?}. Action checked to the older gentleman the was last to act and he fired 1,700. The under-the-gun player folded before Madsen bumped the betting to 5,100. His opponent called.

The turn was a king and Madsen moved all in. He was quickly called by his opponent holding pocket kings. Madsen looked disgusted as he turned over his set of fives. The river couldn't deliver the miracle Madsen needed and he was sent to the rail. What might be even worse is that he can't go enjoy the beach here in Aruba as it's pouring rain outside.

Mizrachi and Zeitlin Tangle

Robert Mizrachi raised from the cutoff to 125 and David Zeitlin called from the button. The two players took a flop of {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} and Mizrachi continued with a bet of 175. Zeitlin made the call.

After the turn brought the {7-Spades}, both players checked. On the river the {K-Clubs} fell and Mizrachi fired 450. Zeitlin tossed in the call and then there was a brief hesitation from both players. Mizrachi motioned as if he was going to fling his hand into the muck, but never actually released his cards. Zeitlin waited for a few seconds to see if Mizrachi would show before tabling {J-Clubs} {10-Spades} to win the hand and scoop the pot.

Also joining these two on Table 18 are Anthony Campagna, Gavin Smith and Shawn Rice.

Sebok Starts Well

Joe Sebok has kicked off the day in the right direction. After raising from under the gun with {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, Sebok flopped a flush. He was able to get action on every street and even managed some extra value on the river after raising his opponent's bet. After being paid off, Sebok is now up to approximately 18,000.
