DeTienne Leads Day 3
Welcome back to the PokerNews coverage of Event 29: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship. It's nice and early here at the Rio in Las Vegas, and what better of a time to play for a World Series of Poker gold bracelet and over $600,000 in prize money.
Leading the way into Day 3 is Kevin DeTienne from Helena, Montana. He bagged two times as many chips as his next closest competitor, but this isn't going to be a walk in the park come game time. Some very tough competiton remains with the likes of Dennis Phillips, Hoyt Corkins, Radwan Khuri and Allyn Jaffrey Shulman.
Also still remaining is Rodney Clarida, who has finished third in this event in 2007 and 30th in 2011. Combine those finishes with his run so far this year and he's arguably the best performer in the history of the Seniors Championship.
Play is scheduled to kick off shortly at 11:00 AM and you won't want to miss a thing as the 29th gold bracelet of the 2012 Series is given away. Stay tuned for all the action coming straight to you from Las Vegas!

Tulloch Shoves On Khuri; Shout Out To Alberta
Carolyn Tulloch moved all in on the 
flop for 329,000 against Radwan Khuri. Khuri tanked for a couple of minutes and then folded the 
face up to Tulloch, who won the pot and pushed to over 500,000 in chips.
One of Tulloch's friends on the rail called us over and explained to us that both Tulloch and William Thomson are from the same hometown in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A group of them came down to play this event together and now both Tulloch and Thomson as deep in the event with the final few tables left.
They'd like to give a shout to everyone on Team Alberta that's following along from home. They're looking to take the gold back to Calgary.
