Milam Won't Go Away

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Kenny Milam just victimized the same opponent he called down earlier as he called in position once more. This time, the player opened from early position to 500 and got called by Milam in middle position and another player on the button. On the {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Milam bet 1,600 after the opener checked. The player on the button folded, and the opener called. Milam then saw his for bet 2,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn, and Milam came along. The {10-Hearts} river led to two checks, and Milam's opponent shook his head and turned over {6-}{5-} for bottom pair, not enough to beat Milam, who had caught him on the river with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

"If it Took You That Long, You Didn't Want to Call"

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Duma Lowery bet 1,200 from the cutoff on a flop of {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and saw Erica Sumner, who checked under the gun, raise to 2,400. Lowery reraised to 4,600, and Sumner responded by shoving all in. The count looked to be 10,150 more, and Lowery folded after a couple of minutes.

"Nice hand, ma'am," Lowery said.

"Thanks," Sumner said. "If it took you that long, you didn't want to call."

Milam Ends Opponent's Misery

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Kenny Milam decided to stop torturing the player two to his right and end his tournament.

Milam got it in with {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} to put the player at risk for his last 10,150 with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and the {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} board would have made a nice lowball hand, but did nothing for Milam's opponent.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Smooth River for "Captain Ron"

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We found "Captain" Ron Hope with an all-in raise of 9,025 in front of him over a 2,200 bet from Erica Sumner on a board of {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. After verifying the amount of the wager, Sumner decided to call.

Sumner: {9-}{9-}
Hope: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}

Hope had turned his six-outer, and Sumner needed a nine to prevail or a three to chop. She got neither as a {q-Clubs} fell.
