Big Stack or Bust

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Ball Deflated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Kenny Ball
Kenny Ball

With one limper in front of him, a suddenly short Kenny Ball shipped it in from the button with two sevens.

The small blind called, as did Rich Giambra in the big and the limper. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and it checked around. However, after the small blind checked the {5-Diamonds} turn, Giambra fired out a bet.

Everyone folded and Giambra showed a set of nines. Drawing to an eight, Ball missed on the river and busted.

Level: 10

Blinds: 600/1,200

Ante: 200

It's Not How You Start

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

While the day may have started slow in terms of the number of entries, things have certainly picked up.

The board for this starting flight now reads 100 entries with a number of players firing multiple bullets as the day has worn on.

Turned It

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Allison Shultz
Allison Shultz

Allison Shultz turned a straight in a four-way limped hand to drag a rather large pot, getting one opponent with top pair to put all his chips in the middle on the river.

As a result, she now wields one of the larger stacks in the room.

Blinds: 500/1,000

Set 'Em Up, Knock 'Em Down

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Haris Galatsidas got one opponent all in with nines versus sevens.

Ahead the whole way, he even managed to make a set to bust his opponent and move up the ladder a little.

Rolling On The River

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Kim Whitney
Kim Whitney

On a flush draw, Kim Whitney rivered a six-high straight to crack Cameron Bartolotta's two pair and drag a huge pot.

Bartolotta went out the next hand running into aces while Whitney moved into the chip lead.
