Dien Le

Just before the break, Jeromy Bittan had raised from under the gun and Dien Le shoved in the early position. When the action folded back to Bittan, he called.

Dien Le: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Jeromy Bittan: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for Le to hit two pair to double up with.

Moultrie's Five is Good

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

H Moultrie raised to 2,000 from the cutoff and the player on the button three-bet to 5,000. Action folded back to Moultrie who made the call.

They both checked through the whole {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} board. The player on the button tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for Moultrie to quickly turn around {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for two pair, kings and fives, to scoop the pot.

Brown At the Top of the Counts

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Wesley Brown
Wesley Brown

The flop read {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} with 10,500 in the middle.

The player in the big blind checked and the player in the middle position shoved for 12,600 in total. Wesley Brown was seated in the hijack and made the call but the player in the big blind needed some more time to make a decision. After a while, he reluctantly opted to fold.

Middle Position: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Wesley Brown: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

They both had the gutshot to a straight but the turn brought them the {6-Clubs} instead for Brown to improve to a set of sixes.

A four on the river would split the pot but the {9-Spades} came to complete the board for Brown to score another elimination to his name.

Nine Tables Left

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There are currently nine tables left which means that over half of the field has already been eliminated today with 165 entries showing on the tournament clock. The late registration and single reentry period will remain open until the end of the break after Level 11, so there's plenty of time left for players to jump in if they want.

Arnold Doubles Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Pearce Arnold
Pearce Arnold

Calvin Sanders limped in from under the gun and so did the player in the hijack. The player on the button raised to 5,000 for Pearce Arnold to respond with a shove for 36,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Sanders asked for a count. The dealer confirmed the amount and Sanders decided to shove too. The two other players quickly folded.

Pearce Arnold: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Calvin Sanders: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs} for Arnold to hold and double up.
