Dinner Time

Everyone fortunate enough to make it to the dinner break - have 90 minutes to celebrate!
Back soon.
Jensen Steams Ahead
A gentleman raised preflop and one very heftily stacked Dan Jensen called out of the blinds to see a 
flop. Jensenn checked, the original raiser bet 1,000, Jensen raised to cover him and the raiser called all in. On their proverbial backs.
All in gentleman: 
Jensen: 
Turn: 
River: 
It's pretty hard to tell in a room this unreasonably big, but Jensen seems to be at least among the chip leaders on a commanding 37,000.
More Chips for the Cub
With 1,400 already in the pot, the board showed 
. Joe Sebok checked, his opponent on the button bet 650, and Sebok check-raised to 1,700. His opponent called.
The turn brought the 
and a 3,700 bet from Sebok, enough to convince his opponent to let it go. Sebok is up to 26,000 as we head to dinner.
The Reluctant Conqueror
About 10 minutes before the end of Level 6 (and the dinner break), Tony Pastore opened with a raise to 700 from the button, and Kara Scott reraised all in for 3,300 from the small blind. The BB skedaddled, and Pastore made the call.
Scott 
Pastore 
The community cards came 
, and Scott is out. The table gave Pastore a hard time afterwards for having eliminated Scott. "Nobody was rooting for you, Seat 10," said one.
"I wasn't even rooting for me," grinned Pastore.
Cada Cut Down
WSOP Main Event champion Joe Cada will not be earning consecutive bracelets. In his first WSOP event since taking the title last November, Cada was just eliminated in a hand in which he held 
, his opponent had 
, and the board was a non-cooperative (for Cada) 
.

Random Story of the Day
PokerNews and the WSOP accept no responsibility for things certain old-timers playing this event may have done in the Sixties. All names have been omitted to protect the probably guilty.
"So there was this girl - she was gorgeous - and we were going to move in together. She clearly wanted to marry me. I mean we were only 18 at the time. But there was this one problem. I said to her, I said I need your help to hide this 80lbs of marijuana for a few days..."
We thought it prudent to leave the table at this point.
Racener Runs Over Reid
John Racener opened with a 3x raise to 600 from early position, and Bruce Reid called from the button. The flop came 
. Racener checked, Reid moved all in for about 3,000 total, and Racener called instantly. Reid showed for middle pair, but Racener had him in bad shape with 
for top two.
The turn and river bricked for Reid and he's out. Meanwhile, Racener has moved up to about 20,000.
Jacks Hold for Joe
A middle position player opened with a raise to 500, and Joe Sebok, sitting to his left, leaned over to survey the raiser's stack. Sebok called, and it folded around to the big blind who called as well.
The flop came 
, and was followed by two quick checks to Sebok. Sebok put out a big bet of 7,000 -- more than what either of his opponents held. The player in the big blind tanked for a minute or so before giving it up, but the original raiser immediately called.
Sebok turned over 
for the overpair, while his opponent showed for the nut flush draw. The turn was the 
and the river the 
, Sebok's jacks held, and another player has hit the rail.
Sebok is now up around 18,000.
