Bump It Up, Call It Off

Big score hunter Veerab Zakarian bumped it up after one player limped in.

When that player shoved, Zakarian called it off and his {k-}{q-} was miles behind this opponent's queens. Forced to suck out or reenter, Zakarian chose the former.

Two kings on the flop did the trick and Zakarian doubled up.

Arthur Gates

Niagara Falls, NY's Arthur Gates has been hit hard by the deck so far.

He's had the Midas touch all day, turning rags into riches and cracking all the big pairs he's faced. In fact, aces went down to {7-}{4-} moments ago, and after his {a-}{10-} beat kings, Gates has got 50,000 in chips in his stack.

He's the leader by a country mile here in Level 6 with 44 entries on the board and some 26 players at the tables.

Best-Laid Plans

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

The player first to act three-handed on a {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop bet 2,500 into 5,000. The player next to act, who had just bought in, pushed the rest of his fresh stack across the line.

Todd Saffron made it 17,000 over the top and first to act folded. It was Saffron's {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} versus the fresh stack's {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} and although Saffron would miss his flush draw, he still found a way to win.

The turn came the {a-Spades}, giving Saffron the bigger pair, and when the {2-Spades} river completed the board, the pot was his.

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.

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

With the registration and reentry period coming to a close, it appears this flight drew 52 entries.

Just 19 players remain heading into Level 9.

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.
