Fliginger Takes Wazwaz to Valuetown

mnuwwarah

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Both blinds checked to Rob Wazwaz, who bet 13,500 on a flop. Thane Fliginger raised to 27,000, and the small blinded folded. Wazwaz called, seeing a turn. Fliginger bet 20,000 this time, and Wazwaz again called. He fairly quickly called another 35,000 on the river, but Fliginger showed him a winner: for a turned full house.

Ehlen Wise to Wazwaz's Gamesmanship

mnuwwarah

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Ken Pates couldn't make it two straight MSPT wins.

Rob Wazwaz bet 15,000 from under the gun on a flop, and Kris Ehlen made it 37,000 to go. Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces champ Ken Pates shoved all in for 112,000, and Wazwaz got a count. He pushed forward a call, and it was Ehlen's turn to act.

"How much do you have behind, Rob?" Ehlen asked.

"He can't reraise can he?" Wazwaz asked the dealer.

After a bit, Ehlen laid it down.

Wazwaz:
Pates:

It was set-over-set and Pates didn't find his one out.

"He can't reraise, can he?" Alexander said, jokingly mocking Wazwaz's attempt to look weak.

"He's tried that one before," Ehlen said.

Players are on their first break of the day, which ends in a few minutes.

Deis Bubbles Out

mnuwwarah

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We found Mike Deis all in from the small blind for 85,500, having been called by big blind Nicholas Pupillo.

Pupillo:
Deis:

Deis was live, but nobody flopped anything on . The turn left the current Mid-States Poker Tour Player of the Year drawing dead, and players are redrawing for new seats as the Michigan native leaves with empty pockets and no points.
