Adams Fades It
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Lenard Adams had been moved to a new home a few tables away and was treading water until he just struck gold again.
Facing a 1,600-chip bet and a call on a 
board, Adams bumped it up to 4,000. The original raiser pushed in and after a fold from the caller, Adams put his tournament life on the line.
It was his 
straight versus his opponent's 
straight with a flush draw. The 
was not a club and Adams survived, doubling back up close to two times a starting stack .

Anthony Yeh Gives Some Away
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Anthony Yeh joined a chorus of limpers going five ways to a 
flop.
When it checked to him, he bet 1,200, shaking all but the big blind and one early position limper. The turn brought the 
and checks all around.
But on the river, when the big blind and limper checked, Yeh fired out a healthy 7,200-chip bet. The big blind folded, but the limper went deep into the tank, emerging a minute and a half later with a call that sounded more like a question than a statement.
When Yeh hesitated, the limper turned over 
and it was good. Yeh mucked.

"I just had ace-king cracked," exclaimed Brain Gonder, who spent the early part of the day building a big stack picking up that very same hand more than his fair share of times
While his luck may be changing, It appears Gonder lost the minimum, as he is still pushing close to 80,000 and remains the chip leader heading into the second break of the day.

You Gotta Have Hart(wick)
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Bloomfield, Iowa's Ira Hartwick has risen to the top of the chip counts now thanks to what he says is a bunch of little hands throughout the day adding up to big things.
The biggest of the bunch came in the form of a big blind special when no one raised in front of him and he checked his option with the 
. Hartwick flopped a full house, got paid off and now sits above the 80,000-chip mark.

The Sun(dine) Also Rises
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Boone, Iowa's Doug Sundine is so excited he can barely sit in his chair.
He'd better though, because it now belongs to the 2015 Mid-States Poker Tour Meskwaki Main Event Level 7 chip leader.
This due to the fact he flopped trips and got it in against Lenard Adams on an open ender. Sundine tuned a boat to sink Lenard and move up to the top of the current counts.

Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
With nine cashes and an amazing six final tables on the MSPT over the past two years, MSPT Pro Nick Pupillo has quickly become a legend around these parts.
He may have even earned some respect at the table, as evidenced by a recent hand where he checked a 
board on the turn with 8,000 in the pot before managing to get a check-raise through.
Pupillo fired two bullets Friday to no avail, but is slowly and steadily climbing up the leader board here today.
