Wazwaz Still Pushing

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Despite busting his first bullet, Rob Wazwaz isn't slowing down. At his new seat, he fired 4,500 on a {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop from the big blind. His opponent called, and Wazwaz shoved all in for 13,050 on the {2-Diamonds} turn.

"I've got to put you on a king," Wazwaz's opponent muttered after about a two-minute tank. He sent his cards to the muck.

Vincent, Caffee Bust Out

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

WJ Vincent put in his last 2,400 or so on a {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} board, and the player on his left called with {9-}{9-}. Vincent showed {6-Spades}{5-Spades} and bricked the {a-Hearts} river. He has already used both bullets and is done for the day.

At another table, Mandy Caffee went all in blind for 2,725 in early position and ended up having {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. She didn't improve and announced she's reentering.

Wazwaz Holds

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Rob Wazwaz raised to 8,000 from the button after a cutoff opponent bet 3,500 on a {5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop. The cutoff shoved all in for about 15,000 and Wazwaz called.

Wazwaz: {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Cutoff: {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Wazwaz had a fair few cards to fade against a straight draw and a pair. He held on the {3-Spades} turn, and the {k-Spades} river was another blank.

Minnesota Foes Clash

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Gennady Shimelfarb just doubled through Dan Hendrickson. "DQ" Dan flopped a nut flush draw and got it in against the set of eights held by Shimelfarb, and the latter turned a boat. Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Morford Looking for Another Deep Run

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Leon Morford bet 2,000 on a completed board of {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and an opponent who had checked in early position thought briefly before calling. Morford showed him {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and took it with deuces full of kings.

Morford has already made two MSPT final tables, finishing second both times for more than $120,000.

Vaughan Loses a Chunk

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found Matt Vaughan on the button facing the all-in shove of a player named Ken in the big blind with the board having come {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The total was 16,525, and Vaughan decided to call. Ken turned over {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Vaughan couldn't beat it.

"It was either a flopped flush or the ace of clubs," Vaughan said.
