Smith Takes the Lead Busting Robl

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Andrew Robl got it all in with the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} versus Dan Smith's {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

No joy for Robl on the {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board left him broke and sent Smith soaring past the three-million mark and into the lead.

Berkey's Limp Gets Lamb

Level 17 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Matt Berkey limped in from the cutoff seat, and then Ben Lamb raised all in for 424,000 from the small blind. Play folded back to Berkey, he took a little bit of time, then called with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

"That's what I thought you had," commented Lamb with the {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and Berkey won the pot to eliminate Lamb.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time Lamb has seen someone employ the limp strategy. When he reached the World Series of Poker Main Event final table in 2011, Phil Collins began limping in a few spots and his decision to do so drew a lot of attention. Berkey has been limping a fair amount on Day 3 of the Super High Roller Bowl, and we'll see if it continues.

Lamb Won't Lay Down

Level 17 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

"I bet you I have the record for the most all ins in this tournament," said Ben Lamb, after successfully pushing in for the third time in the last two orbits.

Over the past level, no one has called a Lamb shove and he's climbed back up to 400,000, and counting.

What To Do with Nine Left?

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante

With this event being played in a seven-handed format, it raises the question of what to do when the field gets down to nine players left. When there are eight remaining, the plan will be to combine around one table. At nine, the field will play with one table of five players and another table of four.

To make up for the difference in play that this will allow for, Sean McCormack, the Director of Poker Operations at ARIA Resort & Casino, informed the players that once nine-handed play is reached every 20 minutes a random draw will occur that will transfer one player from the five-handed table to the four-handed table.

Kempe Doesn't Bite

Level 17 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Erik Seidel raised to 53,000 from the hijack seat, Rainer Kempe called on the button, and Bryn Kenney called from the big blind.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Kenney checked. Seidel bet 65,000, Kempe called, and Kenney folded.

The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Seidel bet 130,000. Kempe called, and the river was the {J-Spades}. Seidel checked, and Kempe checked behind.

Seidel showed the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a full house, and Kempe mucked his hand.
