Hobrecker Steamrolled By Zakarian

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

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
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.

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.

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.
