Deis' Day
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Mike Deis has quietly climbed the leaderboard here in Milwaukee winning a number of hands without showdown.
He shoved the river on a scary board to push one opponent of a sizable pot last level and just moments ago, managed to pick up another pot floating on a king-high flop then pulling a nasty looking click-back check-raise out of his bag of tricks when an ace turned .

Morford's Reign
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Leon Morford continues to lead as the players head into the late stages of the day.
However, it appears he's shifted gears to a much tighter style of play, as evidenced by a recent hand where he raised it up to 2,800 from the button.
When the short stacked big blind defended, Morford joined him in checking it down the whole way on a 
board.
At showdown the big blind showed 
and Morford mucked.

Reichard Returns
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante

Heads-up with about 20,000 in the middle, Reichard was facing a 12,000-chip bet on a 
board when he decided to shove it in.
