Vidmer vs. Truesdell

Justin Truesdell opened for 120,000 from the button and Anthony Vidmer defended from the big blind, bringing about a flop of {10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Both players checked and then Vidmer fired out 120,000 on the {4-Spades} turn. Not to be outdone, Truesdell raised to 300,000, Vidmer called and the {6-Clubs} peeled off on the river.

Once again both players checked and Vidmer rolled over {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Truesdell double checked his cards and then sent them to the muck.

Right after losing the aforementioned pot, Daniel Lowery opened for 120,000 from the under-the-gun position only to have Justin Truesdell three-bet to 350,000 from the button. The blinds quickly got out of the way and Lowery instantly four-bet to 650,000. Truesdell shifted in his chair and moved all in, prompting Lowery to snap-call off for around 1.35 million more.

Showdown
Lowery: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Truesdell: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

Lowery was out of his seat and by his rail with his back turned even before the dealer put out the {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. His supporters were cheering loudly as he was primed for a double, but all the excitement vanished in an instant when the dealer burned and turned the {J-Diamonds}. Suddenly Truesdell's rail came to life while a dejected Lowery looked on. The {9-Spades} river was no help to Lowery and he exited in fourth place for $69,105.

Check, Check, Check

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Since Daniel Lowery's elimination the remaining three players have slowed down a bit. There's been a lot of checking happening and they're plenty deep. It feels like this is the calm before the storm.

Vidmer Sliding

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Anthony Vidmer bet 120,000 and received a call from Justin Truesdell. Both players then chcked the {2-Hearts} turn, bringing about the {10-Spades} on the river. Vidmer proceeded to check-call a bet of 100,000, but was left shaking his head when he discovered his {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} was no good against Truesdell's {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.
