Must See TV

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
William Ho
William Ho

The case nine just helped William 'TV' Ho take a huge chunk out of Pat Tighe and vault into a spot among the leaders.

Ho flopped a set of nines with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} in the hole and Tighe's {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} hit top pair with some back door possibilities.

They got it in for Ho's tournament life and the set held.

Buck's Back

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Buck Ramsay
Buck Ramsay

Some solid decisions have led Buck Ramsay back up into a dead heat with Pat Tighe for the lead now.

The latest included calling one shorter stack's 60,000-chip shove with two sixes. The pair held against {a-}{k-} on a queen-high board that gave Ramsay's opponent a gutter on the turn, but not much else.

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Sandra Boyle
Sandra Boyle

Sandra Boyle flirted with the lead for most of Day 1b, but found the exit early today.

She ran two jacks into St. Thomas, ON, Canada's Jason Park and his two aces. A board of bricks sent Boyle packing and vaulted Park up the counts.

Cam Newtoned!

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Cameron Bartolotta
Cameron Bartolotta

Looks like an early shower for Canadian Cameron Bartolotta, who lost half his stack flopping a set of sevens, then calling off on the river of a four-heart board with the {7-Hearts}.

Turned out Anthony Sgroi had turned the nut flush and didn't need the fourth heart. Bartolotta busted soon after a table break.

Tighe Leads!

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Pat Tighe
Pat Tighe

It's a slow start for everyone in the room outside of Pat Tighe, who continues on a heater from last night.

A number of short stacks busted to other short stacks, leaving just 54 remaining. But Tighe just moved into the lead, busting two players in a single hand and winning a 300,000 chip pot.

It was all in preflop with Tighe's {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} holding versus Keith Mueller's {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Joseph Calderon's {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} on a {2-}{8-}{2-}{2-}{3-} board.
