Bob Gettin' Busy

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Action folded to Bob Koentgen in late position and he moved all in for his last 5,000. "I'm running out of time to re-enter," he explained. "Time to get busy!"

His small bet was called by the player in the small blind, and Koentgen's {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} was a slight dog to his opponent's {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. However, the {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} runout gave Koentgen two pair to keep him alive just before the end of the level.

Defending Champ Exits

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Rick Block, who won this event last year, just busted his third bullet of the day and is heading home. Block told us that he had the {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and flopped top two pair on an {8-}{5-}{4-} flop. An opponent led out on the flop with pocket tens, Block shoved and his opponent called. But a {4-} on the turn left Block drawing thin and he was unable to full up on the river.

Knight's Tale

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On his way out of the room, Josh Knight told us about his demise here in Level 9. With a raise to 3,000 and a call in front, Knight shoved with the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and he found a caller in Ray Book who held the {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The inferior hand came from behind, sending Knight to the rail.
