Welcome to Kinder Garden
Level 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Meet the Kinders of Imperial, Missouri. Father Marty, and sons Kyle, Ryan, and Drew. They've been playing poker tournaments together for a little more than a year. Kyle briefly held the chip lead in Flight B before bagging 133,000 at the end of the flight. The remainder of the Kinders are all in contention in Flight C.
Marty says they came to the RGPS at Downstream in December so that Drew, the youngest, could play. "Drew is 18, so he can't play most places. But he can here," Marty tells us. So far, the Kinders have cashes in HPT events, including a couple final tables and four-digit prizes.
Knowing sibling rivalry, Kyle's 133,000 chips is the real target for Ryan and Drew. Though making to Day 2 would be nice, too.

McCaig Rights the Ship
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Joey McCaig is having a rough go of it in the RGPS Showbound Main Event this weekend. He couldn't build any momentum if the first two flights and busted in the late levels. He seems to be turning things around in Flight C.
In the last hand of Level 7, McCaig and two other players saw a flop of 
. McCaig was first to act in the small blind and lead with a bet of 5,000 into a 15,000-chip pot. His first opponent in the big blind folded but the player in late position called.
The dealer added the 
to the board and McCaig thought for a few seconds before announcing himself all in. His opponent asked for a count and the answer came back as 23,400. McCaig's opponent has 55,000 chips behind and must commit half his remaining stack to call. After a minute of thought, though, he decides to let McCaig have it.

. White checked and Jones bet 1,500.
The dealer added the 
on the turn and both players checked. The 
completed the board and White bet 6,000. Jones thought it over for about ten seconds and then placed a 1K chip in the middle to indicate a call.
White sheepishly turned over 
for air, prompting Jones to reveal 
for bottom pair.
