After the player in the cutoff raised to 2,500, Jesus Cabrera made it 5,000 to go from the small blind. The cutoff called and the flop came down 
.
Cabrera checked, only to see his opponent move all in. Cabrera snap-called his last 6,500 and tabled 
. His opponent was drawing dead with 
, making the 
turn and 
river meaningless.
Cabrera, meanwhile, found a much needed double up to just less than 25,000.

The players are now on a 60-minute dinner break.
Kevin Calenzo opened to 1,425 from the hijack and next to act, the player in the cutoff popped it to 4,000. Action folded back to Calenzo and he mulled it over for a little while, ultimately folding 
face up. He must have felt better about the fold when the player in the cutoff tabled 
.
Calenzo: Down to about 25,000
Level: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
With 3,900 in the pot and a board reading 
, Tommy Vedes decided to bet out to the tune of 2,275. His sole opponent in middle position gave it some thought before folding 
face-up. "Good lay down," Vedes said as he flashed the . The small win kept Vedes hovering around the starting stack of 20,000.
We didn't catch the hand but Kenny "Badhat" Piel has been eliminated from the Main Event, which was quite the opposite of his deep run in the WSOPC-Southern Indiana Main Event. Maybe it was the hat.
Kevin Calenzo and an opponent each committed 3,200 on an 
flop to see the 
hit the turn. Both checked and when the 
hit the river, Calenzo bet 3,600.
After a few moments, his opponent popped it 8,400 and forced a fold from Calenzo, now down to about 30,000.
While off to a rough start today, Kyle Cartwright seems to be back on the right track. After dipping down to as low as 7,000, Cartwright has now brought his stack up to around 30,000. In a recent hand there was about 7,000 in the pot and a board reading 
when a player in middle position checked to Cartwright on the button. He promptly bet 2,400 and took down the pot.
Cartwright has essentially locked up the "Casino Champion" designation and a spot in the WSOPC National Championship, but a deep run here would make it official. Maybe he'll add his third gold ring while he's at it.
