Welcome Back, Kottler

We got to the table to find Will Molson all in and at risk holding {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against the {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Jeremy Kottler.

Both players paired up on the {Q-Clubs}{A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop but Molson retained his lead. Fourth street was the {9-Spades} and Molson needed to fade a queen or a three heading to the river. A small card did indeed hit fifth street, but it was the {2-Spades}, which, although it garnered gasps from their table mates, meant nothing but life for Molson. He was able to double to 75,000 while Kottler fell to about 180,000.

Cody vs. Mizrachi

We arrived at the secondary feature table just in time to see a big pot between Robert Mizrachi and Team PokerStars Pro Jake Cody that resulted in one them doubling.

We picked up the action with around 110,000 in the pot and a board reading {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Mizrachi had checked from the big blind and Cody, who waited about 45 seconds before acting, moved all in for 83,000. Mizrachi hit the tank for a solid four minutes during which time he counted out chips and stared down his opponent. Cody sat motionless until Mizrachi spiked in a call. Cody confidently turned over {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a pair of aces, and it was good as Mizrachi simply sent his hand to the muck.

Pilgrim Down, But Not Out

Thumbs up if you've done more with less
Thumbs up if you've done more with less

Michele Tocci open-shoved for 65,500 from early position, and Dwyte Pilgrim re-shoved on his direct left for 120,500. The rest of the players folded.

Tocci: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Pilgrim: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Tocci doubled.

"Least it ain't over," Pilgrim said, smiling. "I've done more with less."

Benger Takes Some From Bach

David Bach opened to 8,000 in the hijack and Griffin Benger called on the button.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Bach bet 9,500. A call from from Benger landed the {3-Hearts} turn where Bach bet 12,500. Another called from Benger delivered the {8-Hearts} river which both checked.

Bach tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, but was beat by Benger's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Clements Wakes Up With Queens To Send Echevarria Packing

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer yell from Table 7. We made our way over to discover Ruben Echevarria was all in from the small blind with {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} and behind the {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} of Scott Clements in the big blind.

The TV cameras surrounded the table to capture the action, which included the flop coming down {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. It wasn't a great flop for Echevarria, though he did pick up a gutshot straight draw. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, neither the {9-Clubs} turn nor {6-Hearts} river helped him and he was eliminated from the 2013 PCA Main Event.
