Monroe Likes HIs Opponent's Pair

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We found WSOPC IP Biloxi defending champ Jerry Monroe heads up with Brad Johnson on a {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} flop. Monroe check-called 4,000 and the turn came {K-Hearts}. Monroe bet 6,000 and Johnson called. The river came {K-Clubs}, Monroe checked and Johnson bet 6,000.

Monroe sat motionless for a few moments and then folded {Q-} {Q-} face up. Johnson nodded and showed {A-} {A-}.

Monroe was visibly happy he didn't call the small value bet.

Bowen's Luck Runs Out

Kat Bowen had been pretty short stacked for most of the afternoon. She was all in preflop with two red eights up against Keith Ray's {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Ray made the Broadway straight to eliminate Bowen.

The Captain Must Have a Plan

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We found "The Captain" Tom Franklin with a fresh stack entering the Day 1a flight in either the 7th or 8th level. His choice seems a bit odd because he could have easily joined the 1b flight and not started at a chip disadvantage.

Whatever his reasoning is, it's based off of years of experience.
