Brady Building

The player in the hijack seat opened to 450, and he found calls from the next three players in line as the cutoff, button, and small blind (Matt Brady) came along to the flop.

It came {5-Spades} {6-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, and Brady paused first to act. After some time to consider, he led out with 900, and that scared the button out of the pot. The other two called, though, and the {9-Clubs} peeled off on the turn. Brady knocked the table now, and the original raiser took his cue to make a bet of 2,150. The cutoff called, but Brady wanted to play for more. He check-raised to 7,075, and both opponents slowly and reluctantly folded in turn.

Brady looks to have just ticked across the 30,000-chip mark with that pot.

The Numbers So Far

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We've added another 268 entries to our Main Event field here in the evening session, and registration will remain open until tomorrow morning. Added to the 477 runners from Day 1a, our total field size has ticked past last year's total and up to 745 players.

Calenzo Eliminated

Kevin Calenzo is one of the nicest guys you'll meet on this tour, but his run in Palm Beach has come to an end.

Calenzo was very short on chips when he got the last of them in with {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, and he was drawing live but suit dominated as the player to his left called him down with {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. "Augh, you got diamonds too?!" Calenzo asked with mock frustration. The {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} flop was just about all she wrote, and the gregarious pro wished his table nice hands and good lucks for the rest of the day as he headed out to the paddock.

Banghart Busts Lekach

Jeff Banghart opened with a raise to 750 under the gun and was called by the next player to act. Ilya Lekach called on the button, too, and a {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop followed.

Action checked to Lekach who went all in for 2,175. Banghart called, the other player folded, and the hands were revealed.

Banghart: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}
Lekach: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Banghart's king kicker was best and he took it down following the {4-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river when he improved to a straight.
