Caspers' Bullets Good

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tyler Caspers checked and called 2,100 on a board of {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} against a player on the button. The {8-Clubs} was the river card, and Caspers check-called 3,600. The player on the button showed {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for top pair, but it was no good against the {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} of Caspers.

Caspers took third in the first Mid-States Poker Tour event of the year.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Meyers Rolling

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

In a pot that was bloated to more than 10,000 preflop, the small blind checked to Brandon Meyers, who fired 4,300 from the big blind on a flop of {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. The small blind called, and he checked the {10-Hearts} turn, folding when Meyers put him all in for about 14,000.

Wheel Saves Bals

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Chad Bals got his last 11,750 in preflop with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} against an opponent who held {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

The dealer spread a flop of {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Spades}, and Bals got up to leave after leaning over the table to confirm he was now facing three queens.

The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Hearts} though, giving the Iowa native a wheel, and he sat back down to continue playing.

Zych Puts a Stop to Meyers' Climb

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

We found Brandon Meyers thinking hard as he faced an all-in shove of about 25,000 from Adam Zych. The board had come {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Meyers put in a call shortly after we arrived to the table.

"Jacks full," Zych said, flipping {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Meyers' cards were in the muck before the sentence was even finished.
