Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brock Parker reraises a early position raiser to 103,000 and Yariv Levi moved all in behind. After the original raiser folds, Parker sighed and eventually made the call with the slightly unimpressive {A-Diamonds}

, dominated by his opponent's {A-Hearts}

.

The board came {4-Clubs}

knocking out Levi.

11 players are left for tomorrow's restart.

Rios Reveals Ruse

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jesse Rios raised to 29,000 from under the gun, Yariv Levi called behind him, then [Removed:505] reraised to 88,000 from the big blind. Rios called, and Levi got out.

The flop came {3-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn was the {9-Clubs}

. Kinkade checked, Rios bet 65,000, and Kinkade called.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds}

. Kinkade checked again, and this time Rios pushed his stack of 218,000 all in. Kinkade folded, and Rios triumphantly turned over his cards -- {J-Spades}

-- as he dragged the pot.

Rios is now up to 620,000.

Russelling Up Some Chips

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brian Meinders raises to 25,000 from UTG. Joe Serock makes it 75,000 next to him, James Sudworth folds and Russell Crane tanks for a minute.

After some serious thinking, he makes it 165,000 to go, Ivarsson and Newman fold and Meinders sighs and folds. Serock looks unimpressed but he also gives it up.

Meinders, "Show me something better than Queens."

Crane quickly mucks his hand.

Brian Meinders' eventful end of the evening continues. He was dealt pocket kings on one hand, and saw them beaten by Alex Ivarsson's A-Q when two queens came on the board. That knocked him back down to 230,000. After losing a big hand just before, Ivarsson is back up to 855,000.

On the very next hand, Meinders was dealt pocket aces, and doubled through James Sudworth's A-K -- though not after sweating through a board of {J-Hearts}

. Now Meinders is back to 495,000. Sudworth is down to 255,000.

Brian Not Minding The Double Ups

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Brian Meinder has doubled up. Again. I think this might be his fourth or fifth consecutive time he's had his tournament lifeline at stake and come through.

On this occasion he was in dominating shape against Alexander Ivarsson's {A-Clubs}

with

and the board coming out {8-Hearts}

.

Something's Gotta Give

Not too much chip movement over the last 20 minutes or so. With 13 left, they are currently playing two tables of four-handed and one five-handed, so there's nowhere for the shorter stacks to hide.
