Sebok Finds a Hand

Joe Sebok found some timely aces to knock out two players with one metaphorical stone, and is now up to 42,000.

A gent limped in mid position and Sebok raised to 3,000. The small blind moved all in with pocket nines, the limper called all in with {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}, and Sebok was only too happy to make the call.

Board: {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Horner in the Corner

A last-minute disaster for Brent Horner -- he ran kings into aces and then was promptly moved to another table. He's still on 40,000, but is, in his words, "devastated".

Change Of Plan

The TD has announced that seeing as we're so tantalizingly close to the money, we'll be taking a 10 minute break at the end of this level and then returning to play down to the delicious cash.

Yeh's Still Got It

Yeh baby, show me the money

Anthony Yeh had dropped a little, but he's back up to 81,000 now after raising his button to 3,200 and getting a call from the big blind.

Yeh lead out on the {K-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts} flop for 4,400, only to have the big blind check-raise all in. Yeh pondered a little before making the call to see the two hands tabled.

Yeh: {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Big blind: {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

When the turn and river fell the {9-Diamonds} and {A-Clubs} Yeh sent his opponent to the rail while continuing to accumulate chips.
