Jorj95 Freefallin'

Benjamin Ludlow

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 250 ante

George Lind III, who less than an hour ago was up over 100,000 is now down to only 34,000.

We saw him lose an all in for 26,400 to Rami Boukai after Lind drew one on a draw to an eight-five low but unfortunately paired his five showing {8-} {5-} {5-} {3-} {2-} to Boukai's {10-} {9-} {8-} {5-} {2-} .

The former online sit-n-go specialist has a lot of ground to make up if he wants to get back to where he was just a short while ago.

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 250 ante

Jimmy Fricke, who was one of our big stacks to start the day, just lost a big pot to Robin Rightmire.

We came in post draw, but we saw Fricke bet 5,600 only to be raised by Rightmire to 15,000. Fricke called and Rightmire showed {7-} {5-} {4-} {3-} {2-} for the nuts. Fricke sarcastically said, "Yeah... I think that's pretty good..." as he mucked his hand.

Fricke is now down to around 28,000.

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 250 ante

Rami Boukai opened to 2,200 and George Lind slid out a chunk of blue 500 chips which looked like about 12,000. Chris Bjorin then reraised all in from the button for 21,700, Boukai folded and Lind called.

Lind drew one and Bjorin rapped pat with {9-} {8-} {6-} {3-} {2-} but Lind coudln't catch a nine, eight or seven to go with his {5-} {4-} {3-} {2-} instead drawing a [Kx}.

Lind drops to 71,000 and Bjorin is up to 45,000

Level 10 : 400/800, 200 ante

Matt Perrins may have arrived late but he's chipping up nicely, he's up to 49,000 after he stood pat on a {J-} {7-} {5-} {4-} {2-} against Hiroaki Harada's {9-} {8-} {6-} {5-} draw. The latter could only make a {Q-} and was eliminated.

Level 10 : 400/800, 200 ante

Lance Vankooten raised to 2,200 in the cutoff and got calls from Dan Kelly on the button and the player in the small blind.

Vankooten showed {8-} {6-} {5-} {4-} {2-} and Kelly mucked.

Vankooten moves up to 36,000 and Dan Kelly moves down to 30,000
