Nye Gets Paid Off
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We got to the table with 12,500 in the middle and the board showing 
and a bet of 6,500 in front of Michael Nye. His opponent in the hand, Arun Chugani, was mulling over his decision and after tanking for a couple minutes said "I'll give him donation to see what he plays."
Chugani tossed out the call and Nye turned over 
. Chugani turned over 
for a pair of queens that was no good.
"Nice hand," said Chugani, adding "never put him on kings" to the player sitting next to him.

Lowe Doubles
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
We got to the table with approximately 17,500 in the pot and a boar of 
and Marc Lowe all in for his last 10,550. His lone opponent in the hand tanked for nearly a minute before tossing out the call and turning over 
for fours full of tens. It was no good, however, as Lowe hit on the river with his 
to give him fours full of queens.
"Is there a queen out there," asked Lowe's opponent as he squinted at the board. Once it was confirmed there was he added "nice hand... sicko" before pushing out his chips into the middle.
That much needed double up moved Lowe to 38,500 in chips with about thirty minutes left before the dinner break.

Kuntz Fires Out
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
A player raised to 700 from under-the-gun and Marcia Kuntz called out of the small blind. The big stack in the big blind joined in. The flop came 
and Kuntz fired out for 1,000 which was enough to get the other two to fold. Kuntz is hovering just above the starting stack of 25,000 with about 30,000 to her name. With one hour left until the dinner break there are still 42 entrants for this flight. Registration will close in approximately two hours.

Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
At one table, John Keenan three-bet his opponent's 700 raise to 2,000 and would take down the pot on the 
flop with a bet of 2,500.
Chris Bolek would use a check-raise to 3,500 on a flop of 
to get his two opponents (including Ryan Franklin) to forfeit the 1,100 chips they had put in the middle.
