Advancing

Kevin Picklesimer has preserved his position in this tournament, winning his table and going through to the next round.

--------

Ben Hanett called Rick Lenoble all in on 5-6-7 flop. Lenoble had a seven, but Hanett hit a queen on the turn to knock him out.

--------

Also through are Damian Artt, Orlando Romero, and Chris Vaughn.

--------

Not advancing, owing to him being OUT, is Rob Hollink.

Flushed Away

Another heads up confrontation is that of Greg Mueller versus Pat O'Brien. After more comebacks than Terry Funk, David Williams finally met his demise when he bet and called all in with {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} versus Greg Mueller's {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} on a {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. No flush on the {6-Hearts} turn and {6-Spades} river and Williams was gone.

Bonomo Busts

Justin Bonomo busted a little while back. He found himself down to a mere 50 chips -- sticking 25 in as the ante, he put the other 25 in and somehow managed to triple up. Going all in blind a second time, he clawed his way back up to 250, but it wasn't enough the next hand when an opponent flopped a set of kings, and he is OUT.

Williams Multi-Tabling Plans

David Williams, whose table is still three-handed, was informed by the floor that if they were still going at the next break, they'd be moved from the orange section over to the blue section. Williams responded by asking if they could be put next to table 39 so he can run back and forth between the shootout and the omaha game. The floor is doing his best to accommodate.

Boeken Advances

Noah Boeken has overcome 1983 World Champion (no time to double-check that date, so I pray it's right) Tom McEvoy after McEvoy pushed preflop with A-J. Boeken called with 9-9 and survived a Q-T-8-7-3 board on his way to victory.

Derei-dful Bad Luck

Casey Coleman has won his table in the most curious of circumstances. Asher Derei went all in blind, and Coleman, who it seems hadn't noticed, called him all in thinking he was betting.

Derei was very much ahead with {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} against Coleman's {J-Hearts} {7-Spades}, but Coleman hit the {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {K-Hearts} board to advance to the next round.
