Dan Kelly Just Can't Lose
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
After beginning the 2013 World Series of Poker with a 6th place finish in Event #2 ($5000 Eight Handed No Limit Hold’em) and a 5th place finish in the “Millionaire Maker” event just a few days later, Dan Kelly is quickly making this year's series his own.
Kelly was in on the action once again on a recent hand, and although he did not come away a winner, he proved that he can't lose this summer either.
The flop showed 
and Kelly had bet 600 into an unknown opponent, who raised it up to 1,500. Kelly called, and both players checked the 
on the turn. When the 
completed the board on the river, Kelly's opponent fired 1,500 forward, and Kelly quickly looked him up.
The player rolled over 
, and Kelly asked "queens?" while peering across the table. He then flipped up the 
and the pot was promptly chopped up.

A Misread from Kid Poker
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
Daniel Negreanu has always been revered for his uncanny ability to read opponents as if their hands were face up, but even"Kid Poker" couldn't sniff out the set on the last hand.
The final board read 
, and Negreanu's opponent had checked the action. Sensing weakness, or perhaps going for a value bet, Negreanu decided to stick a bet of approximately 3,700 into the middle.
"A pair of sevens," was Negreanu's announcement when his opponent called. "Oh, three nines?"
The other player had tabled his 
, and with a befuddled expression still on his face, Negreanu sent his cards into the muck.

Red Is First To Break
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
With 457 entrants so far, tables are slowly starting to break from the red section in Brasilia. We will certainly have more entries by the end of level four, but play has resumed at a slower pace in level three. And you know what that means--it's time to shift gears. Stay with PokerNews for all the action to come.
Beats and Back Rubs
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
With the World Series of Poker's big buy-in events attracting poker's elite to play under one roof, two of the game's now ubiquitous symbols have taken over the Brasilia Room.
The Beats by Dre high-end headphones preferred by so many regular circuit grinders are being worn by at least a third of the field, with the players forgoing table talk in favor of tunes.
There are also a dozen massage therapy specialists plying their trade throughout the tournament floor, with women clad in white T-shirts applying some targeted pressure to the backs, shoulders, legs, and necks of several poker pros.
With the $5,000 buy-in limiting this event to those with heavy bankrolls, it's only understandable that the players here today are in search of some much needed relaxation, as they compete against their highly skilled peers from the pro ranks.
Smith Ships The Pot
Level 3
: 75/150, 0 ante
We walked up to a hand where Gavin Smith and an opponent were at the river. The board read 
, and Smith's opponent bet out 4,225. Smith tanked for a while, counting out his chips before finally making the reluctant call.
Smith showed 
for a flush, and his opponent said, "Sixes," as he mucked his hand. Smith scooped the roughly 15,000 pot to bring his stack up to around 31,000
