Todd Breyfogle Eliminated

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Todd Breyfogle
Todd Breyfogle

A player in early position raised to 1,200. Action folded to Todd Breyfogle in middle position who shoved all in for 13,000. The original raiser called.

Breyfogle: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Breyfogle was in great shape when the flop fell {j-Spades}{k-Spades}{3-Hearts}. But the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave his opponent a set. The {9-Spades} river did not help Breyfogle and he is sent to the rail.

Matt Alexander Takes From Mandy Caffee

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Mandy Caffee bet 3,000 from the small blind with a board reading {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, and Matt Alexander called.

Caffee showed {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of sixes, but Alexander took the pot with his {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

Erick Wright, Apparent Chip Leader

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a board reading {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}, a player in middle position bet 4,500. Action folded to Erick Wright on the button who raised to 12,000. His opponent quickly mucked his hand.

Wright turned over {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Wright appears to be the chip leader at the moment, sitting with just under 100,000 in chips.

Mandy Caffee Eliminates Player

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Mandy Caffee
Mandy Caffee

Mid-States Poker Tour Pro Matt Alexander checked a board reading {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}. A player in middle position bet 5,000, and with action on Mandy Cafffee, she shoved all in. Alexander folded, and the player in middle position went into the tank. Caffee had the player covered, and so he would risk his tournament life if he called.

"What, did you flop a set?" asked the player.

After a few moments he threw in the chips to call.

Caffee had flopped two pair holding {j-Spades}{10-Spades}, and her opponent had an overpair to the board with {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

The {7-Diamonds} turn and {a-Spades} river did not improve her opponent and he was sent to the rail.
