Tight Is Right

There was not a ton of action here in the first half of Level 25 and the stacks remain about the same size.

Kurtis Boutelle three-bet the small blind over a Silvio DeRubeis cutoff raise.

When DeReubeis called, Boutelle ripped it in on a {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. DeRubeis folded.

Buck Ramsay has shoved in twice with no callers while fellow basement dweller Ryan Rivers has gotten one push through.

Alex Visbisky still leads.

It won't be another title win for Seneca killer Buck Ramsay here today. He shoved the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and got looked up by red-hot chip-leader Alex Visbisky holding the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

Buck wished the table good look after a {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop left him all but dead. The {6-Clubs} turn and {5-Clubs} river sealed his fate seventh and sent Visbisky soaring up towards the three-million mark

David Battaglia pushed all in from the small blind for 466,000 over a Nathan Torrance button raise to 65,000.

Alex Visbisky over-shoved the big and Torrance folded. Visbisky's {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} had Battaglia's {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} dominated, but that didn't last.

The {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop gave Battaglia three queens and he faded a ten and runners on a {2-Spades} turn and {9-Spades} river to double.

Alex Visbisky limped the button, Silvio DeRubeis completed from the small blind and Kurtis Boutelle check his option.

It checked to Visbisky on the {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop and he led for 75,000. Only DeRubeis calld and he checked the {k-Diamonds} turn. Visbisky bet 100,000 and DeRubeis called.

The river was the {3-Spades} and DeRubeis quickly led for 210,000. Visbisky fired in a rise to 550,000 and DeRubeis called.

"Nine high," said Visbisky, mucking when DeRubeis turned over the {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades} straight.

Boutelle now moves into the lead as Visbisky dips and DeRubeis rises.

Kurtis Boutelle made it 105,000 and Alex Visbisky flatted from the small blind. Silvio DeRubeis bumped it to 550,000 from the big and Boutelle shoved in having everyone covered.

Visbisky folded and DeRubeis thought it over for a minute before calling with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. It was a huge cooler with Boutelle holding {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and holding on an {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board to send DeRuebeis out fifth.

Talk of a chop has now begun with Boutelle holding half the chips in play.
