We didn't catch the action on this monster pot until the turn when all the money went in. With a board reading , Chris Klodnicki was all in holding against the of La Sengphet. With the river card still to come, Sengphet's supports began calling for a deuce. Sure enough, the harmless peeled off on the river and Klodnicki, who was clearly frustrated, made his exit from the WSOP-Circuit National Championship.
Jonathon Poche made it 5,400 to go preflop only to have Josh Evans three-bet to 15,200 from the cutoff. Poche slid out a four-bet amounting to 39,300 to force Evans into the muck.
Eventually, Evans opted to kick his cards to the muck while slipping to 110,000 as Poche moves to 315,000 in chips.
Stanley Quinn, the winner of the WSOP-Circuit Harvey's Lake Tahoe Main Event, recently stood up from his spot in Seat 2 over on Table 24 to take a a brief break and wandered about the room. When he returned, he promptly took a seat to the left of the dealer. Allen Kessler and a few others at the table looked at him curiously before Quinn realized he had sat down in Seat 1 of Table 26. Quinn quietly rose, went over to the right table, and tried to hide his embarrassment; however, we saw it and have now entered it into the halls of poker lore.
