An player opened for 3,500, Andrew Rubinberg called, Dwyte Pilgrim called on the button and Tim Vance called from the big blind. The flop came 
and action checked to Pilgrim, who bet 4,000. Rubinberg was the only player to call and they both checked the 
turn. The river came 
, Rubinberg checked and Pilgrim bet 5,000. Rubinberg reluctantly folded and Pilgrim upped his stack to over 60,000.
Action folded to Dwyte Pilgrim in the hijack and he raised to 4,000. Both the button and small blind folded, putting action on Tim Vance in the big. He thought for a moment before moving all in for 24,000.
"Go ahead and write this one down, Pilgrim vs. Vance Round III," Pilgrim joked. "He wins this one too," he added as he sent his cards to the muck.
A player opened for 3,500, Andrew Rubinberg called behind, Dwyte Pilgrim called from the small blind and Jenny Kim called from the big blind. The flop fell 
and action checked around to Rubinberg who bet 7,000. Pilgrim folded, Kim raised to 16,000, the original raiser folded and Rubinberg sat motionless.
Kim kept her stare on him and Rubinberg tossed his cards back to the dealer.

A lot of the players in the room have been asking when action will come to a halt for the night. We can tell you that the plan is to play through Level 15, which will put us right around 1 AM CST.
With about 25,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Steve Verrett and his opponent in the hijack checked, as they did on the 
river. "Queens," Verrett announced as he tabled 
. The hijack took a second look at his cards and flicked them to the muck. Verrett was nursing a short stack not too long ago but has managed a nice comeback. He is currently sitting with around 80,000.
We just saw Micah Raskin come up to his friend, Dwyte Pilgrim, and relate the bad news . . . he has busted from Day 1a of the Hammond Main Event. We're guessing he'll probably try his luck again tomorrow.
Level: 12
Blinds: 700/1,400
Ante: 200
As tables break and players are relocated, we occasionally lose track of players. As such, we went out looking for a few MIA folks and must inform you that Circuit regular Shiva Dudani has been eliminated from the tournament.
On the other hand, we did manage to track down Jake Toole, who is sitting with 35,000.
We're not sure of the details, but we rolled up to a table with a massive pot in the middle. From what we could tell, two players were all in on a board of 
and covered by Brandon Shuler. The latter held 
for a rivered straight, which was good against his opponents' 
and .
We're not sure exactly how much was in the pot, but it did bring Schuler up to 225,000 and made him the tournament chip leader.
