Hobrecker Steamrolled By Zakarian

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Veerab Zarkanian

Start-of-day chip leader Jeffrey Hobrecker has run into the machine Veerab Zarkanian has suddenly become.

Hobrecker went broke shoving the {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} into Zarkanian's dominating {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. A queen on the {q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board spelled the end of another good run for Hobrecker.

Zarkanian is quickly closing in on two million chips now and running away with this thing.

McLean Caught

Paul McLean
Paul McLean

Mark Allott and Paul McLean got embroiled in a preflop raising war that saw MClean ultimately jam in for around 200,000 with the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Allott called it of with two tens and held through a scary looking {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board to send McLean home early and rise up the counts.

Rivera, Leung Out; Zakarian Still Caning It

Alex Rivera went broke running ace-queen into Chris Molica's ace-king.

Then, over on the other table, Howie Leung jammed jacks and 400,000 over a raise with three callers. Veerab Zarkanian had kings, called, and held to bust Leung 17th and snatch the chip lead now into Level 22.

Jerry's Kid Brother Busts

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Steve Calvaneso got short and ran a weak ace into deuces.

He couldn't pair up and just busted 19th. They are redrawing for seats at the final two tables now.

Tight Is Right?

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Tight play has ruled the day 19-handed.

When they lose one more player they will redraw for seats at the final two tables and no one appears to want to miss that golden opportunity.

The only real action over the past 20 minute came when Dan Wagner got miffed with Jeffrey Hobrecker for what he perceived to be excessive tanking.

"Sorry my brain doesn't work as quick as yours, " was Hobrecker's response.

Robert Petronio open jammed early with big slick and twenty bigs.

Brian Bowen woke up with the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} in the big blind and called. A jack in the window of a {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} run out sent Petronio home 21st.
