The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades} and the big blind checked. Robinson fired 5,000 as his continuation bet and won the pot right there. He's moved up to 48,000 now.

On the flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, action was checked around between one unknown player, Junior Merafuentes and Tony Bracy to see the {7-Clubs} pair the board on the turn. Action checked to Bracy on the turn and he bet 3,000. The next player called and then Merafuentes raised to 6,000, the minimum. Bracy and the other player both called.

The {5-Clubs} appeared on the river and after the first player checked, Merafuentes fired 10,000. No one called him and he won the pot, showing the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a full house.

Merafuentes is now up to about 94,000 in chips.

Brace Yourself

On the board of {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Tony Bracy was set all in by his opponent. After a couple minutes in the tank, Bracy made the call holding the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. His opponent had tried to push him off with the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and acknowledged Bracy's good call.

The river completed the board with the {3-Clubs} and Bracy's jacks held tough. He called all in for 15,700 and now has 71,000 in chips.

After the hand, Bracy stood up and began barking to get the attention of friend Ted Bort from across the room. Bort asked if he doubled up and Bracy gave him the nod that he did.

DeWitt Done

We were just thinking, "I wonder how many chips Jason DeWitt has" when we looked up to see him walking past our desk. He had a shirt in one hand, an empty bottle of water in the other, and he was slowly meandering through the room and towards the exit. He stopped off at a buddy's table, and although we're too far away to have heard the bad beat story, there was a lot of shrugging and shaking of the head and frowning, and DeWitt eventually made his way out into the maze of slot machines on the casino floor.

DeWitt's Main Event is over.

What'd He Just Say?

A player in middle position opened his second consecutive pot to 1,600, and Ted Bort was one of two callers to come along to the flop.

It brought {3-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Spades}, and the raiser continued out with another 1,600 chips. Bort asked for an eyeball of his stack before raising to 4,000, and that was enough to win him the pot.

"Don't mess with the big dog!" Bort said. "Bow-wow yippee-o bow-wow."

Bort is up to about 27,000 again.

No More Tickling

On the flop of {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, "Captain" Tom Franklin checked to Aaron Kanter. Kanter fired 1,500 and Franklin made the call.

The turn completed a possible heart draw with the {9-Hearts} hitting the felt. Franklin led out for 2,500 and Kanter mucked his hand.

"No more tickling," said Franklin.

Brown Can't Call That Much

Steve Brown open-limped from middle position and the player in the hijack seat limped as well. The button also limped and after the small blind folded, the big blind checked his option.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} and action check around to the player on the button. He fired 1,775 and only Brown made the call.

The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Brown checked. The button fired a big bet of 10,000. Brown couldn't call and mucked his hand. He's still got 82,000 in chips though.
