Rodriguez Slows Down the Beat

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Carlos Rodriguez
Carlos Rodriguez

On the hand before the blinds increased, a 700 raise by Frank Sill was called by Carlos Rodrigues on his left and Ricardo Alvarado on the big blind. A {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop landed on the felt and Sill continued for 1,000.

Rodrigues bumped it up to 2,500, Alvarado folded and Sill quickly put in enough chips for a call. The dealer burned and turned a {7-Spades}. Sill tapped this time to Rodriguez who fired in another 2,500.

A check-call from Sill brought the {9-Clubs} river and Sill checked his option one more. Rodriguez smiled, put his arm out, and began to check the pulse of his opponent.

He checked behind, tabling {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for two pair and Sill mucked {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} face-up, shipping the pot to Rodriguez.

"His pulse was like a baby, I had to check," said a laughing Rodriguez while stacking his chips.

Dead Man's Hand Pulls One

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The action picked up on the {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop with Tyler Thompson who bet 2,200 and Mitchell Halverson called on his left. Dale Roesel check-called, bringing a three-way hand to the {8-Hearts} turn.

All three checked through and the {10-Clubs} completed the board. Thompson bet 5,200 on the river, Halverson ducked out, and Roesel then check-raised to 14,200.

Thompson took a few moments but ultimately, he called and Roesel showed {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Giving him a few snowmen. Thompson chucked his cards into the muck and Roesel pulled in the pot.

Day 1c Gains Some Familiar Faces

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Eric Afriat

The first break of the day is over in what is the biggest field thus far. Day 1c now has 86 entries with another three hours left in late registration, and some big names have just jumped into the flight.

One big name, in particular, is Canada's Eric Afriat who took home $100,000 just two nights ago in Event 9 after a heads-up deal. He is not the only canuck from that final table to take a seat as Kristen Foxen, who finished 5th for $34,834, is now in the field as well.

Action Heating Up After the Break

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Wojchiech Barzantny
Wojchiech Barzantny

The flop was {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and action checked to Eric Afriat who bet 3,500. Wojciech Barzantny and Casey Brown both check-called, creating a healthy-sized pot.

The dealer burned and turned over an {a-Diamonds}. Afriat saw each of his opponent's tap the table and bet once more, putting 8,500 into the pot.

Barzantny and Brown both called the amount, jacking up the pot for what might be an action river. A {3-Spades} completed the board and little action ensued, having all three check through.

Barzantny opened his hand and revealed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} which ended up as the winner after his adversaries mucked their hands.
