"Nice Hand"

Action folded to Robert Belton on the button and he limped. Carole Wueste, who was in the small blind, then raised 5,500 more. The big blind folded and Belton made the call.

The flop came {8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Wueste checked. Belton promptly bet 8,000 and Wueste immediately raised to 18,000. Belton seemed hesitant but made the call.

When the {4-Hearts} hit the turn, Wueste announced she was all in for around 50,000. Belton mulled it over and decided to fold while uttering, "Nice Hand."

"Thank you," Wueste replied as she raked in the pot.

It's Not Over Until It's Over

With about 7,000 in the pot, the flop came down {4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Lawrence Huffman moved all in and was called by an opponent in Seat 5.

Huffman: {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Seat 5: {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Things were looking like a chop until the {3-Diamonds} hit the turn and gave Seat 5 two pair. Huffman was clearly upset and began to rise to make his exit. When the {5-Clubs} hit the river, the entire table let out a collective "oh."

Huffman sat back down and doubled to almost 60,000.

Lee Visits Johnston

Berry Johnston
Berry Johnston

Richard Lee has recently been moved to Seat 2 at Table 375. His neighbor in Seat 3 is none other than 1986 World Champion Berry Johnston. With only a few notables remaining in the field, it is unusual for two to be at the same table.

Table 375 isn't likely to be broke tonight, so it is possible they'll be playing together for the remainder of the evening; although, they are on opposite ends of the chip spectrum. Lee has a little over 20,000 while Johnston is well over 100,000.

Schneider Off to the Races

Tom Schneider
Tom Schneider

Action folded to Tom Schneider on the button and he opted to raise to 7,600. Burt Grenell was in the small blind and moved all in for a total of 27,000.

Schneider contemplated making the call, cut out the chips, and tossed them in the pot. Grenell turned over {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} while Schneider revealed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Grenell was racing for his tournament life as the flop came {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

"Keep 'em small," Grenell encouraged the dealer, "No more clubs." Wouldn't you know it, the turn was a club, the {A-Clubs} to be exact. Suddenly Schneider was drawing to a flush with two over cards.

The dealer burned and put the {9-Diamonds} on the river. Grenell dodged a lot to double to around 60,000 while Schneider is still healthy sitting with about 200,000.

Too Sharp an Angle

Jack Sharp raised preflop only to have Harold Angle, who had a bigger chip stack, announce, "All in."

Sharp didn't hesitate to call for his tournament life and flipped over {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Angle revealed the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} and was in a commanding lead.

"I'm dead in the water," Sharp announced. He wasn't quite drawing dead when the flop came {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, but he was drawing to running eights; however, the {3-Spades} on the turn closed the door on Sharp.

The dealer put the {4-Spades} on the river for good measure but Sharp was eliminated from the tournament. Meanwhile, Angle is up to a little more than 100,000.
