Ho Blasts Big Against Tepen

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Maria Ho
Maria Ho

We found Ryan Tepen on the button and facing a big bet of 33,000 from Maria Ho on a completed board of {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Tepen folded after a couple of minutes of thought, and the WinStar ambassador finally appears to have something cooking after a couple of days of fruitless play.

Clinkscales Survives

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Rex Clinkscales

It's been slow going in the early parts of Level 11 thus far, with play perhaps slowing down due to the closing of registration after a frenetic two-and-a-half days. One notable development did happen with Rex Clinkscales, who managed to flop a set of threes and double through a player who had jacks. We didn't see when the money went it.

Flack Collects Another Stack

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Layne Flack has been hot the past few levels and is now challenging for the chip lead after busting another opponent. He shoved all in for about 50,000 effective from early position into a pot of around 65,000, and his opponent called with jacks on a {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} board. Flack had him in bad shape with {q-}{q-}, and the river {3-Clubs} was a blank.

Grabel Doubles Through Lopez, Busts Palma

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Nick Palma was all in when we got to his table for about 33,000 in the small blind. David Lopez called in the big, and Kevin Grabel reshoved in middle position for 29,700 more.

"I guess at this point, I can't fold, no?" Lopez mused.

Lopez: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Grabel: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Palma: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Palma was looking solid for a triple up but that changed in a hurry as {5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flopped, giving Grabel a big lead with kings. The {5-Spades} turn and {7-Spades} river helped nobody, and Grabel raked in the whole pot.
