Raymer: {x-}{x-} / {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} / {x-}

Third Player: {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} / {6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Spades}

Greg Raymer completed and was called by Jennifer Harman and another player as well. Fourth street was checked around before it was checked to Harman on fifth and she bet, Raymer raised and the other player made it three bets. Harman folded and Raymer called and the former WSOP ME champion also called bets on sixth and seventh but mucked when he was shown kings up by his opponent.

Broadway for Bumpereno

Level 3 : 300/600, 75 ante

Munley: {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} / {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Kravchenko: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} / {X-}{X-}{X-}

We caught up with the action on fourth street where Alexander Kravchenko bet and Bill Munley called. The action was the same on the next two streets until Kravchenko check-called Munley’s bet on seventh. As Phil Laak would say, Munley turned over 60% of a royal flush with his hole cards. Although the {J-Diamonds} on his board gave him 80% of the royal, he was missing the {10-Diamonds} but his Broadway was still good for the pot.

Eyes on the Screen

Level 3 : 300/600, 75 ante

Although these players are playing $10,000 event, many have much more attention on the TV screens above them which are showing the basketball, certainly it's causing a detraction in the concentration of one or two players at the moment.

We're expecting a late surge of entries after the game is over as the players still have over a level and a half to part with $10,000 and take part in this event.

Level: 3

Limits: 300/600

Ante: 75
