Break Time

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Players are off on their second fifteen-minute break of the day.

Level: 7

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 600

Dale Willie, in the small blind with only a single call before him, announced a raise to 3,800 before the flop. Willie's opponent in the big blind folded but his opponent in middle position chose this moment to reraise. The opponent pushed forward a stack of about 48,000, leaving a few 500 chips behind but covering Willie with the bet.

Willie went into the tank considering his options and how he wished to proceed. After a minute or two of consideration, Willie made the call.

"Just a pair of treys," announced the middle-position player. Without verbally responding, Willie turned over his hand.

Dale Willie:
Opponent:

The board ran out and Willie chose this moment to speak, "You could have had Ace-King! I was really worried about that!"

Willie pulled in the pot for a full double up.

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

The field here at MSPT Venetian Poker Bowl IV has become more difficult.

Chance Kornuth of Chip Leader Coaching has just registered and sat at a table.

Kornuth, who is fresh off making the final table of the WPT Gardens, brings a strong reputation with having earned over $7 million and two World Series of Poker gold bracelets.

Kornuth enters late in Level 7 but with over 40 big blinds, he appears to feel right at ease.
