Romer Shows the Eight

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Bill Romer raised to 2,500 in middle position and Andy Rogowski defended his big blind. Both checked the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop, and Rogowski bet 2,000 on the {6-Diamonds} turn. Romer raised to 5,000, and Rogowski called. Rogowski checked and snap-mucked to Romer's shove on the {6-Clubs} river, and Romer showed {8-Diamonds}.

Chris Karambinis appears to have bought in at the buzzer.

Bekavac Doubles Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Dan Bekavac
Dan Bekavac

Dan Bekavac just got his last 18,000 or so in with {a-}{10-} after a {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} flop against a player holding {j-}{10-}. Bekavac easily faded the chop and he's now over 50,000.

Another For Bekavac

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dan Bekavac continues to pick up steam, this time coming in on the good side of a three-outer. He opened for a raise and then called the shove of a player who had only 13,700 in the blinds. Bekavac's {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} was way behind {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} but he found a {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop to his liking and faded the tens and kings.

Ross Wins a Race

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We found Mike Ross putting a shorter-stacked player who had about 20,000 at risk preflop. Ross held {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and was against {a-}{q-}, and he held as the board ran out dead seven-high.

Rare Brick for Hodge

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mark Hodge
Mark Hodge

Mid-States Poker Tour Player of the Year points leader Mark Hodge has been cashing seemingly every time he buys in, but he fired a blank here at FireKeepers. He shoved his last 15,000 or so over a raise and saw the small blind cold-call. The opener shoved as well, and the small blind reluctantly called with {9-}{9-}. He was ahead though, as Hodge held {4-}{4-} and the other player had {a-}{k-}. Nobody improved, leaving the nines best.

No Three-Outer for Rosheisen

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ken Rosheisen
Ken Rosheisen

As Nicholas Aranda told it, Ken Rosheisen made a big three-bet from the blinds over an open by a player in last position, and they player jammed in to put Rosheisen at risk. Rosheisen called with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}, but he was unable to overtake his opponent's {j-}{j-} and lost his last 40,000 or so.
