Shelmerdine Lapping the Field

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Kirk Shelmerdine — race car driver and former crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Sr. — is back today after crashing prior to the end yesterday's Day 1a. And so far through the first half of Day 1b he's had it in high gear throughout.

We just saw him grab another small pot to add further to his stack. Shelmerdine has been collecting chips consistently all day to build what appears to be the first 100,000-plus chip stack in the room.

Williams Chipping Up

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jeff Williams continues to add to his stack. Just now he opened for 900 from the cutoff and got two callers from the blinds, and the trio watched the flop come {4-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. It checked to Williams who continued for 1,500, and only the small blind stuck around.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and a check from Williams's opponent, and when "yellowsub86" made another bet his opponent thought for some time before letting his hand go.

Teach Doubles

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Ken Aldridge doubles
Ken Aldridge doubles

A player opened from early position, and two players called including Ken "Teach" Aldridge in the small blind. The flop fell {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and both blinds checked. The original raiser continued for 2,000, and only Aldridge called.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, Aldridge checked again, and the player quickly fired 4,000. Aldridge immediately called.

The river was a repeat three - the {3-Diamonds} - and Aldridge led for the first time, committing 8,500 of his 9,400-chip stack. The player studied the board, sat quietly for 20 seconds or so, then called. Aldridge revealed {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a full house.

The player slammed both fists onto the felt in anger, and then showed {k-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a turned flush.

Aldridge now sits with 31,700 chips.

A Couple of Bigger Stacks Do Battle

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Ryan Clark, who's dressed like Woody from Toy Story meets Kanye West, led out for 8,000 on a board of {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Jovie Onarosa called on his direct left, and a third player called.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Clark quickly led out for 15,500. Onarosa unhappily mucked, and the animated hip-hop cowboy raked in the pot.

MacKinnon Battling

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

DJ MacKinnon is back again for Day 1b after not making it through yesterday. He chipped up some during the first six levels, and at the start of Level 7 was opening for 900 from under the gun. It folded around to the player sitting behind the button who made it 2,000 to go. The blinds got out, and MacKinnon called.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and MacKinnon checked. His opponent quickly fired a bet of 2,000, and after a bit of thinking MacKinnon let his hand go.
