Ball Deflated

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

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 and it checked around. However, after the small blind checked the 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.

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

[user127999]

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

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.
