Esfandiari Gives Brikis Chips, But May Be Taking His Money
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Antonio Esfandiari opened the action with a limp from middle position. After one more limper, Josh Brikis raised to 500 and it folded back around to the limpers. Esfandiari asks Brikis for a count and moved him all in for his last 2,650. After the second limper folded, Brikis quickly called and tables two black aces. Esfandiari just had a pair of fours and never gave Brikis a sweat. He is now down to just 1,500.
However, Esfandiari, well known for his prop bet antics, already has the table playing a round of "Lodden Thinks". This round, the players are wagering on the amount of money it would take for a certain player to skip the Main Event for just this year. Brikis is playing, as is table mate Andrew Frankenberger. So far, no number has been reached.
Froehlich Fires, Fires, Fires
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Eric Froehlich opened to 400 from middle position and was called by the player on the button. The flop came 
and Froehlich bet 600 and was called. The turn came 
, Froehlich bet 1,100 and was called again. The river came 
and Froehlich moved all in. The button thought about it, counted his chips but then folded. Froehlich is up to 6,500.
Koon May Have Gotten Away with One
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
Jason Koon opened the action from middle position to 350. The gentleman in the cutoff, unaware of Koon's raise, announced his intention to raise and threw in 450. With some help from the dealer and Layne Flack, he put out 550 chips and the action folded back to Koon. With 3,950 behind, he moved all in and his opponent folded 
face up. Although a little confused and apparently a little relieved, Koon raked in the pot.
"Wow!" Flack said, "What did you have there, ace-jack?" addressing Koon.
He nodded and smiled, "I would have got there."
Not to worry though. The man who held ran his 
into 
the next hand and stacked a player who had a bigger stack than Koon anyway.

Tilly Gone
Level 4
: 75/150, 0 ante
On a 
board, Jennifer Tilly check-raised all in for her final 2,300 after her opponent bet 600. After thinking for a full minute or two, the player decided to call with 
and was happy to find that Tilly had not made her hand yet. She held 
for top pair and an open-ended straight draw.
The turn was the 
and brought her boat outs to replace her straight draw. However, today just wasn't her day. While the river gave her a straight, her opponent had already made a full house and she politely hit the rail.
