Even Stevens

Level 31 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

With his latest win, Brendan Waite, who was at one point down toward a million in chips, has evened the stacks.

It happened when he limped on the button and then called when Blair Hinkle raised to 185,000 in the big blind. Both players checjed the {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, the dealer burned and turned the {K-Clubs}, and Hinkle led out for 185,000. Waite popped it to 500,000 and it was enough to get the job done as Hinkle sent his cards to the muck.

Waite Almost Even

Level 31 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

With a small blind call and a big blind check, we saw the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} come out on the flop and Blair Hinkle check-raise Brendan Waite's bet of 75,000 to 165,000. Waite made the call and the dealer peeled off the {2-Diamonds} on the turn. Hinkle bet 160,000 and Waite called. The {3-Clubs} hit the river, and after being checked to, Waite's bet of 500,000 was good enough to take down the 325,000 pot.

Waite Fighting Back

Level 31 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Brendan Waite has managed to string together a few modest wins recently, and those mediocre pots have added up.

Most recently, Blair Hinkle raised to 130,000 from the button and Waite defended from the big. Waite proceeded to check-call a bet of 130,000 on the {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop, and then both players checked the {4-Diamonds} turn and {10-Diamonds} river. Waite tabled the {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Hinkle mucked.
