Mlsna Turns Wazwaz

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Matt Mlsna
Matt Mlsna

Matt Mlsna just tripled up through Rob Wazwaz and a third player, vaulting into the lead and knocking Wazwaz off the top of the counts.

He open jammed a {4-}{5-}{6-} flop with a set of fours and got called by a third player with pocket kings and Wazwaz holding the {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

A {5-Hearts} turn card actually gave Wazwaz outs to a straight flush, but filled up Mlsna and the boat held over the straight and big pair when the river bricked.

Seth Meyer
Seth Meyer

Minnesota native Seth Meyer just jumped up to the top of the leader board after a massive hand.

He got it in with a set of jacks over aces up against a player with just 2,000 less than the 64,000 in his stack.

Meyer is now in a dead heat for current chip lead with Matt Mlsna.

Living The Dream

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Josh Skrogstad
Josh Skrogstad

Josh Skrogstad is on the kind of late level heater most players only dream of.

He just simply can't be beat right now and has picked up 20,000-chip pot after 20,000-chip pot on the way to a healthy lead heading into Level 12.

Some of the miracles he's produced include going runner-runner for a straight with pocket eights versus a flopped set of sevens and having sevens of his own hold against a big-time bluff.

Quads!

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Rex Clinkscales stomped on an early position raise, making it 16,000 and Jon Stueve shoved behind for less.

The raiser folded and Clinkscales showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}. Stueve had {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and looked headed for the exits before the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop gave him quads.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Stueve doubled through the sinking Clinkscales.
