The Arthur Gates Show

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Arthur Gates
Arthur Gates

The Arthur Gates show continues to roll on, and just rolled over Rich Giambi and Craig Ross.

Ross shoved short with the {a-}{5-} and Gates flatted. Giambi came all in over the top for 20,000 or so with the {a-}{j-}. Gates had the other two aces and called. The board bricked out and with the double knockout, Gates has 100,000 with 11 left.

Gates also gets the Rich Giambi bounty. A priceless prize he will surely cherish.

Reid Relents

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Colin Reid got short and shoved sixes over a Veerab Zakarian open.

Zakarian called with tens, flopped a third one and now has Reid's chips.

The PokerNews curse is real.

Bowen Takes a Bow

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Tyler Nichols moved all in for 26,200 total over an Arthur Gates 3,500-chip open.

Brian Bowen moved all in behind for 15,200 and Gates tank folded. It turned out Bowen had aces versus Nichols tens and looked good to double all the way until a {10-Clubs} river ended his day.

They will play until the end of Level 14 or until just seven players remain, whichever comes first. Any survivors will bag up and come back to play into the money and beyond Thursday, beginning at 12 p.m. local time.

They will also be joined by anybody that can push through one of three more starting flights, two more tomorrow and the next coming up at 6 p.m. tonight.

Veerab Zakarian and the Philosopher's Stone

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Veerab Zakarian

Young Wizard Veerab Zakarian has edged into the lead here heading into the flight's second break.

He's taken to jamming the small blind into Cameron Bartolotta's big blind just for kicks. Plus, he's either had it, or got there, in every other hand today.

This as evidenced by one player open-shoving almost 8,000 with the {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Zakarian waking up with big slick on the button.

He hit an ace for the no-sweat scoop and now has 60,000.
