"I Want Full Credit!"

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Bryan Micon just walked over to our table with his hands in the air in triumph, saying jokingly "I want full credit for my chip leadership! Or almost chip leadership. I don't want Cyndy Violette taking all my glory!" Micon is currently sitting at 27,200, which is right at the chip lead by our count.

The Chad is Great!

Norman Chad: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} / {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} / {k-Spades}
Six-seat: {x-}{x-} / {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Hearts} / {x-}
Seven-seat: {x-}{x-} / {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {x-}

The eight-set brought in before Chad completed before fourth street; he found two callers from the six and seven seats before betting. The six-seat raised all-in, but the seven-seat reraised and Chad called before check-calling the seven-seat's bet on fifth street. Chad led out on sixth street and the seven-seat called before they both checked the river.

Chad revealed his hand and the seven seat mucked, but the six seat player was sent to the rail.

Dwan Demolishing

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

We just walked by Tom Dwan's table, and we saw him collecting a truck load of chips after knocking out a player. When the dust settled, he was sitting on 36,000, good enough for the chip lead in the tournament by our estimation.

Matusow Slips

Mike Matusow: {q-Clubs}{4-Spades} / {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} / {3-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} / {2-Hearts}

Matusow completed and the opponent called before check-calling Matusow's bet on fourth street. Matusow then check-called the opponent on fifth street, called the opponent's opening bet on sixth street and then both players checked the river. The opponent's eight-low and pair of sevens scooped the pot.

Jett Plays It Slow, Wins Big

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jett: (x)(x) / {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} / (x)
Opponent: (x)(x) / {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / (x)

We caught the action on fourth street, where Karina Jett check called her opponents bet. She would do this on fifth street, and again on sixth street. On seventh street, she checked again, and her opponent checked behind. Jett showed {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight on seventh street, and her opponent mucked. Jett is now up to 32,000, and looks to be in great shape to start a run at back to back final tables in this event.
