We found Justin Jones in the back of the room with a pretty obscene looking stack at this stage of the tournament. Jones returned today with under 50,000 and is now up over 200,000. He told us picked up about 80,000 of when he was in the big blind holding pocket tens and the under the gun player went a little nuts. The details were sketchy but the aforementioned UTG player is no longer at the table.
Layne Flack has turned things around here in Choctaw and now has it up over 160k.
In his latest triumphant effort, Flack picked on big stack Teddy Gill who had it up over 200,000 at one point.
Gill called a standard open from Flack sitting on the button, and after the flop, he flatted a 6,700 Flack C-Bet.
The turn brought the and a check from Flack. But when Gill fired out 7,500, Flack check-raised it up to 21,000. Gill flatted again, and after the river, Flack threw out a 22k bet.
Gill called again, but groaned and showed a four when Flack turned over for the turned boat.
Irving, Texas' Christobal Romano has emerged from the masses as one of the chip leaders here in Durant.
He told PokerNews he's been paid off with a straight, two-pair, a set and a number of other decent holdings on the way to a stack around 215k now half way through the Main Event's 13th level
The WSOPC Choctaw Main Event is over for Tommy Vedes.
When one opponent shoved over his opening raise for the second hand in a row, Vedes figured was good enough to make a call for his tournament life with.
It wasn't, his opponent held kings and the kings held.
