Kelly Triples

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Dan Kelly got down to his last 5,500 and shipped it in. He got one caller with only about 5,500 behind and then a third player bet enough to put him in. He called and Kelly was the only one without a pair as his opponents rolled over {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} respectively.

Kelly needed some serious help with {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, but got it on the {j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds} board.

Carson Happy With His Start

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gregg Carson has made a nice start to the day and called us over to make sure PokerNews had his new chip count.

The player sat next to him joked that he had sucked out on a player but what happened was he bust a player with {a-}{a-} versus {10-}{10-}.

Lebron Soaring

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Following a raise to 1,700, Rafael Lebron flatted in middle position before two more players called; one of which was Aaron Jones. The action sat with the big blind Christopher Annouza, and he moved all in for 26,100 to force a fold from the initial raiser before Lebron called and the other two players folded.

Annouza: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Lebron: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Annouza was sent to the rail as Lebron soared to over 80,000 in chips.

Marco Polo

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Marco Johnson is beginning to pick up steam.

When the player on his left made it 1,800 before the flop, Johnson called from the button. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and both players checked. But when the {q-Diamonds} turn presented itself, and his opponent checked, Johnson fired away, making it 4,400.

His heads-up opponent folded and Johnson crested the 40,000 chip mark

Pilgrim's Plunder

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Dwyte Pilgrim
Dwyte Pilgrim

WSOP Circuit Killer and WPT title holder Dwyte Pilgrim loves a big field and a big stack.

He moved over the 100,000-chip mark just a few moments ago by making it 2,000 from the small blind after it folded to him. The big blind called, but when Pilgrim fired again, making it 2,200 after the {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, the big blind gave up.
