The Prince is Here, Baby

With about 20 minutes in Level 3, James Calderaro strolled into the room with none other than Scotty Nguyen by his side.

Some Updated Chip Counts

Trips for Raymer

The player under the gun opened to 400 and the only caller was Greg Raymer from UTG+2.

They saw a {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} flop which they both opted to check, landing the {9-Diamonds} on the turn. Raymer's opponent bet 200, Raymer bumped it to 800, and his opponent called to see the {4-Clubs} river. A check from the UTG player led to a bet of 1,200 from Raymer.

After a few moments his opponent called, but mucked when Raymer tabled {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for trip nines.

Bullets For TJ

With the flop reading {2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, a player led out for 750 only to have TJ Cloutier snap raise to 1,500. Cloutier's opponent called and the {5-Diamonds} fell on fourth street.

It was checked to Cloutier this time and he continued out with 2,500. Cloutier's opponent folded {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} face up and Cloutier showed the table that he held {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Cloutier was under starting stack to start the hand so with his profits from this hand he's currently sitting at about 16,000.

Clinkscales Straightens One Out

Action folded to Rex Clinkscales who limped from the hijack, as did Chris Tryba from the button. The small blind joined the party, the big blind checked, and the four players saw a {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop.

A check from the player in the small blind led to a bet of 350 from the player in the big blind. Only Clinkscales called to see the {Q-Hearts} turn which both players quickly checked. The {5-Hearts} landed on the river and the player in the big blind bet 650. Clinkscales popped it to 2,100, his opponent called, and Clinkscales tabled {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a straight.

His opponent mucked, giving the pot to Clinkscales.
