Clinkscales Busted

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Rex Clinkscales put in his last 5,000 or so from late position after a player two to his right opened, and his {a-}{3-} was a bit ahead of {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. A king on the flop put an end to that and Clinkscales went bust after failing to hit on the turn or river.

Players are on break for 10 more minutes.

Capps and Engel Take Seats

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Jesse Capps and Aussie Millions champ Ari Engel entered the tournament.

Capps got off to a running start, three-betting to 3,100 from the button on one of his first hands, and seeing an opponent who opened to 1,100 in middle position call. Capps bet 2,100 on the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop when checked to, and his opponent called. The {k-Spades} and {a-Diamonds} both got checked through and Capps won with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

Weissman Picks Off Chock

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Joey Weissman opened to 1,200 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 4,000 from Justin Chock in the big blind. Check-check on the {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and the {j-Clubs} hit the turn. Weissman called a bet of 3,500 and the river {k-Spades} paired the board. Chock bet 7,000 this time and Weissman tanked a couple of minutes before calling.

Chock showed {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for an airball and Weissman took it with {q-}{j-}.

"I'm So Excited"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Alex Keating got his 9,325 all in preflop with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against a player with {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The dealer spread a flop of {8-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

"You have outs," the player with jacks observed.

"I'm so excited," Keating said dryly.

The {4-Hearts} turn was a brick but the {9-Diamonds} river was exactly what he needed to make a straight and survive.
