Walk Like Man, Fast As You Can

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Nick Walker joins the group near the top of the counts now after finding a way to crack aces.

He made it 700 from the cutoff with two tens and after one call, the big blind bumped it to 3,700. Walker detected a faint smell of a big pair in the air, but decided to set mine anyway. Sure enough, after the caller folded, Walker flopped a ten.

The big blind checked, but when Walker made it 3,500, he jammed it in. Walker happily called off his 17,000 behind, and low and behold, the big blind had two aces. Two bricks later, Walker cracked them and has 45,000 now.

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

Mike "The Mayor" Rellinger spent the first few levels listening to 80's hair band ballads on his iPod and pouting over people making fun of him on the Internet.

Now suddenly he's all smiles after winning a big pot and realizing that every rose has its thorn.

Keith Mueller made it 3,000 to go preflop and Rellinger decided to get tricky, calling with the . The was all Rellinger, giving him the flush, gutshot and even gutshot straight-flush draws. Rellinger led out 3,000, and when Mueller jammed in 12,000 more, he called.

Turn out Mueller had two queens. Mueller stayed out front after a brick on the turn, but Rellinger hit the gutter on the river to ruin Mueller's evening and jump up into a contending spot on the Level 6 leaderboard.

My Stack on My Stack Crime

[user127999]

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Milton, Ontario, Canada's Eric Thibodeau just snatched away all Peter Raimondi's My Stack run good in one fell swoop.

The mysterious and valuable My Stack run good has been known to give players the uncanny ability to play any two cards and win. All one has to do to get it is use the My Stack App to update their own chip count directly into the PokerNews blog.

Raimondi had been seated on his left all day, and when Thibodeau noticed him using the My Stack App, he inquired as to how he could do it to. Raimondi showed him the ropes, Thibodeau downloaded the app, and eventually started updating his own chip count.

Then suddenly, Raimondi opened up a pot from under the gun and got three callers. Thibodeau decided to defend his big blind with the and promptly flopped the nuts on an board. He checked and when Raimondi led out and got two callers, he decided to raise.

Raimondi shoved, and when the callers dropped out, Thibodeau made the obvious call. Turned out Raimondi had aces and probably should have stuck to his earlier any-two strategy, because those aces got cracked.

When the dust settled, Raimondi was out, and Thibodeau had the first six figure-stack in the room along with the chip lead.

Leading Lady

[user127999]

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Maria Parlatore's chip stack has suddenly ballooned up over 150,000 and she''ll take the chip lead into the second break of the day.

Parlatore has had aces twice, kings twice. She made a flush, she rivered a straight. There isn't a hand she can't win with right now.

We'd normally insert a joke or some kind of backhanded compliment about Parlatore in this space, but she's running so smoking hot right now, all that negativity is liable to bounce of her and stick to us. So, we'll pass. Good luck Maria!
