"I Would Have Left You Here With a Broken Rib"

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Rich Alsup
Rich Alsup

A player in the hijack bet 8,000 on a {10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} board and got a fold from the cutoff. Rich Alsup called on the button, and a {5-Hearts} completed the board. The hijack fired 8,000 again, and Alsup thought it over and cut out a stack before pushing in 19,000 more. The hijack snap-called and showed {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a boat, but Alsup had it beat with {k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} for a better boat.

"You were thinking about just calling," Rob Wazwaz said with a laugh. "If you had just called, I would have left you here with a broken rib."

Seitz Gets a Lucky Double

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player opened to 3,200, and Jason Seitz shoved for 7,900 in the next spot (hijack). The opener put him at risk with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Seitz had {a-Spades}{6-Spades} and was dominated but flopped a six. The sweat wasn't over, though, since the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop gave Seitz's opponent a flush draw. The {k-Clubs} turn and {k-Diamonds} river missed him.

Wazwaz Doubles

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Rob Wazwaz
Rob Wazwaz

Rob Wazwaz bet 9,000 after an opponent checked to him on a {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop, and the player put him all in for 32,800 total. Wazwaz snapped in with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}, and his opponent turned over {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a pair but he turned a straight draw when the {7-Spades} hit. The {j-Clubs} river was safe for Wazwaz, though.

Mark Hodge and Kou Vang busted out at other tables.

Hanson Grabs the Lead

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Bill Hanson
Bill Hanson

Bill Hanson, who already had a hefty stack courtesy of a big pot he won off Rob Wazwaz, just put a player at risk on a {q-}{8-}{4-} holding {k-}{k-}. Unfortunately for Hanson, his opponent had flopped a set of eights. After a {10-} on the turn though, a {k-} river left Hanson with a better set for the win.

Hanson appears to be the leader at this point.
