A Little Off The Top

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante
Scott Aitchison
Scott Aitchison

Scott Aitchison, whose haircut has become a trending topic on social media of late, lost most of his chips with {a-}{k-} versus {k-}{9-}, getting them in on a king-high flop before a nine fell.

The last of them went across the line when he shoved a flush draw versus Jason Harvey's top pair and couldn't find a club. Aitchison has skipped a trip to the barber, however, deciding to re-enter instead.

Aitchison Out Again; Mueller Joins Him

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Scott Aitchison got down to 2,500 on his second bullet fast. Then, when he shipped it in from early position, Kieth Mueller, Steven Reinacher and a third player called.

The {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop checked around, but when Mueller fired 7,000 at the {7-Diamonds} turn, Reinacher shoved.

The third caller folded, but Mueller made the call for his tournament life and was behind with {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Reinacher had flopped a set holding {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Aitchison's {9-Spades}{5-Spades} was no good and Reinacher held following the {2-Clubs} river.

Jason Harvey
Jason Harvey

Jason Harvey continues to climb the counts here, getting one shorter stack to shove over his preflop raise, then making the call with {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The shorty held {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and ran out of chips after the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} run out.

Bartolotta Over Bullets

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Cameron Bartolotta
Cameron Bartolotta

After the cutoff limped, Cameron Bartolotta made it 2,500 from the button. The big blind called and the cutoff shipped it in for 4,500 total. Bartolotta called and the big blind joined the party.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} and after a check from the big blind, Bartolotta c-bet 2,000. The big blind called, and checked again on the {10-Hearts} turn. Bartolotta made it 4,500, and again, the big blind called. The river brought the {9-Diamonds} and the big blind check-folded to a 7,000-chip bet from Bartolotta.

The cutoff showed {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, but had been outdrawn by Bartolotta's {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Wideman Widens The Lead

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Bob Wideman
Bob Wideman

Akron, NY's Bob Wideman is having the kind of day poker players usually only dream of.

He got all of one player's stack holding with {k-}{k-} against {q-}{q-} all in preflop, then flopped two sets of deuces and a set of fives three hands in a row to drag three more pots.

As a result, he now finds himself at the top of the counts as this flight's 10th level comes to a close.
