From the hijack seat, Haralabos Voulgaris raised to 3,500. Tony Gregg reraised to 11,200 out of the cutoff seat.

Polk vs. Mercier

Level 2 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We turned up to see the tail end of the latest battle between Jason Mercier and Doug Polk.

After a series of bets on a {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs} board to the turn, Mercier had 59,500 in front of him and Polk made the call.

The {8-Spades} river saw Mercier fire away again, with a 108,000-chip bet, and Polk went deep into the tank, tossing in a time-bank chip, before eventually folding.

Picking up the action after the turn of a {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} board with about 87,000 in the pot, Byron Kaverman checked from the big blind and Scott Seiver bet 27,000 from the hijack. Kaverman called to see the {10-Spades} river and checked to Seiver who shoved for 60,600.

Kaverman tanked (using two of his time-extention plaques) before he called, but mucked when Seiver tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a set of threes.

Colman Dominating

Level 2 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Daniel Colman continues to pound away at his table with a series of opening raises and aggressive play.

He recently fired in 5,200 from the small blind into Kathy Lehne's big blind and she defended. Colman checked the {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, then called when Lehne bet 5,000. They both checked the {k-Spades} turn, but Lehne folded when Colman fired 10,000 at the {q-Spades} river, allowing Colman to extend his lead on the field.
