A player in the big blind bet 2,500 on a {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, and Dan Bekavac called from the cutoff. The aggressor fired 3,575 more on the {8-Diamonds} turn, and Bekavac responded with an all-in shove for 9,675. The bettor asked how much more it was to him. The dealer told him it was 6,100 after pulling in the bets.

Andy Rogowski took issue with this, saying that the dealers weren't supposed to do the math for the players. He said the dealers could only leave the raise amount out, it was up to the player to count it himself. The floor was called, and the tournament director said the dealer was within his job to tell the raise amount if asked.

Bekavac took the pot after his opponent folded, but debate continued to rage after the hand until the floor was called a second time and warnings were issued.

Rosheisen Loses One

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ken Rosheisen bet 3,000 from the small blind on an {8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop, and his opponent under the gun shoved all in for about 5,800. Rosheisen splashed in a call with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and saw he was ahead of {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} but had some cards to fade. The {10-Hearts} turn put him well behind, and an {8-Diamonds} river was a blank.

Rogowski's Serious

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Andy Rogowski opened from the cutoff to 600, and the player in the small blind made it 1,800 to go. Rogowski called, and he called a continuation-bet of 1,400 on the {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop. Both players quickly checked the {5-Spades}, and the small blind bet 2,200 on the {3-Clubs} river. Rogowski wasted little time before putting his opponent all in for 5,000 more.

"Are you serious?" the small blind moaned.

Rogowski remained silent and then took the pot when his opponent folded about a minute later.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jack Rolnitzky may be the early leader here at Mid-State Poker Tour FireKeepers Casino after he took down a three-way all in on a {3-}{6-}{7-} flop. Rolnitzky held {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and was up against {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and {8-}{5-}.
