A Shoutout from Kurt Chenchick

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

While we just wrote down a hand from table 441, Kurt Chenchick approached us and asked if he can do a shoutout. Of course we are very happy to oblige and he wants to greet everyone from the Eureka Casino in Mesquite / Nevada. "Wish me luck," he said. Chenchick has approximately 170,000 in chips with 68 out of 4,425 players remaining, which is just under average,

Wrong Button For Wilson

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

James Mallen got his 150,000 stack in pre-flop from the small blind and initial raiser Michael Wilson made a rather quick call, turning over {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Mallen showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Wilson was calling for a ladybug after the {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} flop. Neither the {5-Clubs} turn nor the {2-Clubs} river completed the gutshot and Marcia Topp added in "I had a queen.".

La Vida Loco

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Richard Munro just got on the wrong end of a big hand.

He was involved in a preflop raise with David Vida.

The two player saw a flop of {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Vida in the big blind moved all in for 90,000.

Munro took his time to make his decision but he did make the call. Vida turned over {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and it was a great call by Munro who showed {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Munro was out of his seat, looking to bust another player and stay at the top of the chip counts.
The dealer burned and turned the {7-Hearts}.

Vida clapped his hands together, “Yes, Seven.” The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Vida survived to win a big pot from Munro.

Munro took it reasonably well, “Nice hit. You really thought that king was good?”

“I did actually.” Vida honestly replied.

Next Pay Jump

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After a three-way flop {K-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}, Theresa Hatcher moved all in for 63,000 from the button and both her opponents folded. While she stacked the chips, the table got broken as we are down to 72 players. That means we have also reached the next pay jump and will give you an updated bustout list shortly.

Aces Not Cracked

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The gentleman that had his aces cracked by Jim Custer now ran with {A-}{K-} into the pocket aces of Michael Wilson. This time, the best starting hand held up and that was it. "Oh, I wanted the call. I just didn't want to lose," he said before shaking hands with Custer and leaving the table.

It didn't take long for the next suckout though. James Miller had flopped a set of threes and played versus {K-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flush draw. The {10-Spades} fell on the river ... .
