At-Risk Player: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
David Leese: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Leese was looking for one of his overcards and he got just that when the {j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop spread. The turn {k-Clubs} and river {8-Diamonds} changed nothing and Leese picked up a pot.

Lopez Riding the Comeback Trail

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Lopez
Adrian Lopez

Following his pocket queens versus pocket queens cooler, Lopez has spun it back up.

There was approximately 35,000 already in the middle on the {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades} turn when Adrian Lopez shoved from the big blind for 32,500. Ernesto Ouano was in the tank on the button.

"How much is it," asked Ouano.

After a count Ouano decided to lay it down and Lopez flashed the {q-Clubs} as he took down the pot.

Baime Claims Another KO to Extend Lead

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With about 8,000 in the middle on the {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Rip Fritzer shoved for his last 28,000, and chip leader Ken Baime called.

Rip Fritzer: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Ken Baime: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Fritzer held a flush draw but he was behind the pair of jacks of Baime. The turn and river provided no help to Fritzer as Baime continued to pad his stack.

Brutal River Leaves Penn with Piles, Lopez with Crumbs

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Danny Penn
Danny Penn

A loud reaction to a river was heard across the room and it was to the benefit of Danny Penn.

Penn was showing {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} on the {j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board, while Adrian Lopez held {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. The two players had gotten it all in on the turn each holding pocket queens, but the club river gave Penn a flush to scoop the pot.

In the aftermath, Penn surged to double the chip average, while Lopez was left with less than a starting stack.
