Monnette Bests Williams

Level 3 : 100/200, 50 ante

John Monnette raised to 625 from the hijack and was called by David Williams in the cutoff, Dee Tiller on the button, and Erick Lindgren in the small blind.

Lindgren drew two, Monnette and Williams each drew one, and Tiller drew two. Lindgren checked to Monnette who bet 1,800. Only Williams called.

Monnette tabled {9-}{8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}, besting Williams' hand to win the pot.

One For Bakes

Level 3 : 100/200, 50 ante

Nick Schulman opened to 600 from under the gun only to have David "Bakes" Baker three-bet for 1,800 from two seats over. It folded around to the small blind who called the three-bet and Schulman called as well.

The small blind and Schulman each picked up one new card while Baker opted to stand pat. All three players checked the next round of betting and Baker rolled over {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{2-} which was good enough for the win. Baker is now sitting around 52,000 in chips.

Break Time

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

The first two levels are already in the books! Players are taking their first 15-minute break of the evening.

Tiller On Top

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

Max Pescatori raised from UTG+1 and Mike Matusow three-bet to 2,100 from the hijack. Dee Tiller called from the big blind and so did Pescatori. Tiller drew two, while both Pescatori and Matusow stood pat.

Action was checked to Matusow and he bet 2,100.

"I looked at one. I'm one away from gin," said Tiller. He then looked at the other one before moving all in with a covering stack. Pescatori folded, as did Matusow.

We Can Danz If We Want To

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

Brian Hastings raised his button to an unknown amount only to have George Danzer re-raise to 1,400 from the big blind. Hastings called and watched as Danzer drew one card. Hastings stood pat going into the final round of betting.

Danzer took a moment before looking at his new card, staring at the pot and possibly counting it. Eventually, Danzer looked at his cards and checked. Hastings tapped the table back and showed the {J-Clubs}. Danzer rolled over {10-}{9-}{7-}{4-}{2-} for a ten-low and dragged in the pot. Danzer is now sitting on about 26,000.
