Tom Masinter has a shot at winning the Casino Champion prize for this series in Lake Tahoe, and with it would come a $10,000 ticket to the season-ending $1,000,000 National Championship freeroll.
As such, Masinter is taking every opportunity to play events here. There was a noon side event here across the aisle, and Masinter bought in this morning just in case he busted and could make it over there to play another stack. His stack has been idle all day, though, and his buddies are wondering what the deal is.
"You seriously bought in over there?" one of them said from the rail. "Why don't you just run over there and go all in? Try to double up?"
"Nah," Masinter answered flatly. "I don't wanna ruin the mojo I got going over here." That was about an hour ago when Masinter had 4,125 chips left in the side event. Our most recent check-in saw him being put all in for the 100 chip ante, and he has now been completely blinded out over there. He doesn't seem to mind; Masinter is still going strong on this side of the aisle with just about 200,000 chips. And his Main Event mojo still intact.
Dusty Leary moved all in for 61,000 from early-middle position. Tom Masinter reraised all in from the cutoff seat and everyone else folded.
Masinter: 
Leary: 
The board ran out 
and Masinter eliminated Leary in 15th place. Masinter improved to about 250,000 in chips.
Grant Hillman raised to 28,000 from early position before Ray Martin three-bet shoved for his full stack of 118,000 chips. Hillman asked for the count, then shrugged and called while the dealer was still in the process of breaking down the stacks.
Showdown
Hillman: 
Martin: 
Hillman has been in this spot with pocket tens already today, and it worked out rather well. This time, however, the dealer was not so kind with the two-outer. The board ran out 
, and Martin has doubled through Hillman.
Martin - 255,000
Hillman - 165,000
Under the gun, Stanley Quinn limped into the pot, and the table passed all the way around to the blinds. In the small, Steve Brown moved all in for 145,000, and Donna Jetter was thinking sinister thoughts in the big. After a couple moments of consideration, she called, and Quinn tanked for several long minutes before ducking out of the way. With Brown at risk, the cards were turned up:
Brown: 
Jetter:
"Come on, Donna!" someone implored from the rail. But the dealer fell momentarily deaf as he ran out a flop of 
to pull Brown into a big lead. It was only temporary, though. The turn 
drew a big clap of Jetter's hands as she found her third of a kind to leave Brown drawing dead and eliminated. The river filled out the board, and Brown is out in 16th place.
Jetter - 335,000
Dusty Leary called Dan Black's all-in shove on the turn with the board reading 
. Leary held the 
and Black held the 
. The river completed the board with the {Th{ and sealed the double up for Black. Black was all in for 126,000 on the turn and now has about 450,000 in chips. Leary was left with 60,000 chips.
Kevin Fleming raised from the cutoff seat to 35,000. Michael Traylor moved all in from the big blind for 159,000. Fleming made the call.
Fleming: 
Traylor: 
The board ran out 
and Traylor doubled to back over 300,000. Fleming was left with about 150,000.

Joseph "copy-and-paste" Mongkoluaaree raised to 28,000 in early positon, and Dusty Leary three-bet shoved for 235,000 total. When it came back to Mongkoluaaree, he let out a big, "Wow," and cut the calling chips out of his big stack. The call represented about a third of what he had in front of him, and he took several long minutes to consider before deciding a fold was the proper play.
