Thanks to a tip on Twitter, we've been alerted that Kevin "Phwap" Boudreau is in attendance today, and we found him sitting at Table 14 in Seat 10.

He took down a recent pot when two players checked to a player in late position, who bet 2,000 on a board of {2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. The big blind folded, and Boudreau called, seeing a {j-Clubs} turn. Boudreau's opponent checked behind this time, and Boudreau showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for queens up, a winner.

You can read more about Boudreau's amazing story here.

From early position, Kris Wagner bet 4,025 on a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} against two opponents. One player in middle position called, while the other folded. On the {k-Clubs} turn, Wagner checked and saw his opponent bet 6,500. Wagner thought for a couple of minutes and released his hand. His opponent showed him it was a good laydown: {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a flush.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Holley Pays Off Miller

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

John Holley bet 2,000 from middle position on a board of {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and got raised to 6,000 by the player on the button, Paul Miller. The small blind cold-called, and Holley came along as well for the {2-Spades} river. Action checked to the button, where Miller fired 6,000 again. The small blind quickly folded, and Holley called.

Miller showed {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a straight, and Holley flashed {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for top set.

Wahdan Gets Lucky

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Nader Wahdan limped under the gun and then reraised when the player in the big blind raised. Wahdan ended up getting it all in with {q-}{q-} against {a-}{a-} when he called the player's subsequent shove, and and the first four cards came {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} leaving with two outs, one of which was the {q-Spades} on the river. Wahdan had 17,275, so he's back above the starting stack.

Wahdan, an Aurora, Colo., native, is coming off of a win in September's HPT event here for $226,891. He topped a final table that included Phil Mader, who got third and is in action here today.

Duran Doubles Up

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a board of {5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Noe Duran had checked from the small blind and saw his opponent in the big bet 20,000 into a pot of about 5,500. Duran tossed out a call, and the river brought an {a-Spades}. Duran tossed his last 2,025 in, and his opponent called.

"You're good," Duran said, turning over {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a set.

The big blind, though, showed {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for two pair.

"I thought you took one off with queen-jack," Duran said.
