Hinkle Folds to Roberts

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player opened to 450 in the cutoff, and Reginald Roberts called on the button. Grant Hinkle made it about 1,600 to go in the big blind, and only Roberts came along. Hinkle came out with a tiny bet of 500 on the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop and he was quickly called. The moment Hinkle checked the {5-Hearts} turn, Roberts tossed 2,000 into the middle. Hinkle called, and he check-folded without much delay when Roberts bet 5,700 on the {j-Hearts} river.

Johnson Shoves the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The small blind checked to Aaron Johnson on a board of {3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}, and Johnson dropped his whole stack in for 9,125. The small blind thought briefly before folding, allowing Johnson to drag the pot containing about 14,000.

"Show a deuce, it's good for the game!" Chris Tryba said.

Johnson stayed characteristically silent as he dragged the pot.

Keeline Gets There to Double; Mader Joins Field

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ben Keeline wagered an unknown amount after his opponent checked to him from the small blind on a board of {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The small blind raised to 4,000, and Keeline shoved all in for 13,800. The small blind quickly called.

Small blind: {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Keeline: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Keeline had been caught jamming a draw, but the river was the sweet {5-Diamonds} he needed to survive, much to the disappointment of the small blind, who had gotten it in with the nuts. He was forced to double Keeline up.

At another table, Phil Mader has taken a seat. The Nebraskan is an accomplished tournament player, sporting more than $300,000 in cashes. He gained considerable exposure after playing a prolonged period at the TV table during last year's Main Event, where he held his own against the likes of Phil Ivey on the way to a 43rd-place finish.
