Updated Chip Counts

Sabat to 30k

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Facing a preflop raise to 2,000, Eddy Sabat made the call from the button along with Kevin Saul from the big blind.

Saul checked the {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop to see the original raiser fire out a continuation-bet of 2,400 only to have Sabat slide out a raise of 7,000.

Saul mucked, as did the preflop aggressor, as Sabat collected the pot to move to over 30,000 in chips.

Affleck Puts a Squeeze on Obrestad

Annette Obrestad open-raised to 1,800 from the cutoff and was called by the player on the button. Matt Affleck methodically counted out a raise and re-popped it 7,500 from the big blind. Both players folded and Affleck dragged the pot.

Some of the Chip Leaders

Here are some of the chip leaders that we've spotted.

Klodnicki KO'd

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop Chris Klodnicki check-called a 2,500-chip bet from an opponent to see the {5-Clubs} land on the turn.

Klodnicki checked once again and was met with a 5,000-chip bet only to check-raise to 13,000. His opponent made the call as the {6-Spades} completed the board on the river. Klodnicki saw the remainder of his chips committed to the pot, and when his opponent made the call holding {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Klodnicki was forced to make a painful exit to the rail.

Lindgren Sends Seed Sailing

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Huck Seed raised under-the-gun to 2,000 and was called by a player in middle position, Erick Lindgren on the button and the big blind.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Seed c-bet 6,000 after the big blind checked. The middle position player folded and Lindgren raised to about 30,000, which was enough to put Seed all in. Seed made the call.

Showdown
Seed: {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Lindgren: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Seed was in bad shape despite having a straight-flush draw. The {5-Hearts} turn was no help and the {A-Hearts} river sealed the deal for Seed, sending him to the rail.

Lindgren now stands with a healthy stack of 110,000

King James, But It Ain't LeBron

Noah Schwartz in earlier day action
Noah Schwartz in earlier day action

Mega Miami Heat fan Noah Schwartz broke tables, and on the first hand at his new location, bumped it up to 2,200 from middle position.

A few spots over, James Bord shuffled chips and ummed and ahhed for over ninety seconds before moving all in for 16,600. The action passed back to Schwartz and he made the call to the WSOP Europe Champion at risk.

Bord: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Schwartz: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

With Bord in the lead, the {9-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop would ensure his double to over 35,000 as Schwartz slipped down to 30,000.

Gotta Be Chip Leader Right?

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Facing an early position raise to 1,800 and a three-bet to 5,400, Victor Ramdin pushed out 15,000 into the pot from the button.

The original raiser moved all in for 61,100, and once the three-bettor passed, Ramdin made the call.

Ramdin: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Fortunately for Ramdin, the poker Gods were smiling down on him as the board dropped {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to see him bump his opponent to the rail while sending him soaring up to 177,000.

"That's gotta be a chip leader pot. Gotta be!" exclaimed Ramdin in excitement.

Yes it is Victor.
