Whole Lotta Clubs

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught the heads-up action after a {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop and Gus Vergos was three-bet by his opponent to 5,300. Vergos decided four was a better number and reraised to 13,300. His opponent thought for a moment and then folded {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} face up.

"Together we had a straight flush," Vergos said as he turned over {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for the higher flush.

Kessler Wakes Up Early

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Allen Kessler has found his way into the field, considerably earlier than Day 1b, when there was some confusion about the starting time.

There's no confusion for Allen about the MSPT structure, however, as his seal of approval is stamped on the structure for the MSPT Main Events.

Klingshirn Wheels Way to a Big One

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 250 and the player behind called. From middle position an opponent reraised to 1,400 and received a call from Jeff Klingshirn in late position and the original raiser. The flop was {3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and the under-the-gun player checked. The three bettor continued for 2,300 and Klingshirn made the call.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the action was checked to Klingshirn who moved all in for 15,600. His opponent thought for a moment and then slid his chips forward for the call. Klingshirn tabled {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the wheel and had his opponent's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} drawing dead. The meaningless {7-Spades} fell on the river and Klingshirn dragged the big pot.

Stone Throws His Weight Around

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We picked up the five-way action after a {k-Hearts}{a-Spades}{8-Spades} flop and Nick Stone led out for 650. Ron Kruk made the call and Jake Baumgartner raised to 2,250. Action folded back to Stone who three-bet to 8,150. Kruk folded, as did Baumgartner after some brief thought.
