Brikis, Tilly, and Ramdin: Winning!

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We just saw Victor Ramdin getting his seat assignment for tomorrow, meaning that he has moved on. Also advancing are Jennifer Tilly and Josh Brikis. We caught Brikis's winning hand. Brikis shoved preflop and his opponent called. Brikis had {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and his opponent had {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. The board ran high as it came out {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and Brikis won the race to advance to tomorrow.

Flowers Forces Heads up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We came to the table as Randal Flowers and an opponent were all in preflop. Both players were virtually even in chips, and the two were racing for a spot in the heads up battle.

Flowers: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent:{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Flowers made broadway on the river to win the pot. He had slightly more then his opponent, and now he is heads up with a slight lead over his other opponent.

SuperSeiver

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Scott Seiver just hit a big double up with {A-Spades}{5-Spades} in a cooler against another player's {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} on a {4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} which has put him into the chip lead on his table with three players left.

Basebaldy Scores a Ticket to Tomorrow

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Eric Baldwin had arguably the toughest task of anyone to win their table when it got to three handed. Nikolay Evdakov busted in third at the table and then Baldwin came from behind to beat WPT winner Thomas Bichon. Baldwin is now on to tomorrow.
