Down to Ten

[user127999]

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Matt Marcinkiewicz made it 4,800 and got three callers, including Dennis Fleig, who had been killing it and was closing in on 200,000.

The flop came and Marcinkiewicz continued for 7,400 and Fleig put him to the test for the rest of his 12,300-chip stack, betting 20,000. The rest folded, Marcinkiewicz called and the hands were tabled.

Marcinkiewicz:
Flieg:

Fleig had all kinds of outs against Marcinkiewicz' queens, but missed them all on a run out.

In the meantime, Nick Peperone shoved a rivered full house, but ran into Alex Rivera's runner-runner straight flush. Peperone went out 11th and they are now at a final table of ten.

Dennis Fleig	150,000 64,000	64,000

Tighten The Noose

[user127999]

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

The level after the dinner break has been marred by tight play, with no one giving an inch.

Dennis Fleig has been the most active player, but the results of his effort to play a lot of hands have not had much impact on the chips stacks, which seem stuck where they started.

Ted Blaszczak and Jay Clark did get it in one hand, but they both had aces and chopped.
