Kinder Not Gentler

Mike Patrick

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The Kinder family is down to three participants in Day 1b, but they all have healthy to above-average stacks.

in a recent pot after Clayton Soliz opened to 6,500 in the hijack, Andrew Kinder three-bet to 19,000 prompting a fold from Soliz.

Meanwhile, dad Martin Kinder just lost a small pot when he folded face up on a four spade board to a river bet.

But it's Ryan Kinder pacing the family field with a stack approaching 200,000.

Limited Action For Nguyen

Mike Patrick

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Since entering before the close of late registration, Scotty Nguyen has been unable to build much of a stack.

Case in point a recent hand where an opponent raised to 4,000 preflop in middle position and the Poker Hall of Famer three-bet to 10,000 from late position.

Nguyen's opponent folded, sending the small pot to the "Prince of Poker" whose stack is now back over its starting point.

Burchfield Triples Up

Mike Patrick

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After two players limped and the small blind completed, RunGood ambassador Kris Burchfield moved all in for about 17,000 from the big blind.

Both limpers called but the small blind folded.

Burchfield's potential executioners checked down the board and Burchfield showed for a pair of tens, which would prove to be the winner, earning him a triple-up to nearly two starting stacks.
