Lehr Defeats Sklar

Level 13 : 400/800, 0 ante

The first player to advance to the round of 32 is Keith Lehr. The board was all but rushed away and Richard Sklar shook hands with him, then added "you better do something now," before both headed out of the tournament area.

According to Sklar, they invested 20,000 preflop and the chips went in after a {10-}{7-}{6-} flop. Sklar had pocket kings and Lehr turned over pocket tens for top set to hold up after a brick on turn and river.

Ace-High is Good for Rast

Level 13 : 400/800, 0 ante

Kane Kalas raised it up on the button and Brian Rast three-bet to 8,000. Kalas called and the flop fell {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Rast checked to Kalas who dropped in a bet of 9,200. Rast called and the {q-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Both players checked and the {10-Diamonds} completed the board. Rast checked once more and Kalas elected to go to showdown. Rast tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and that proved to be good enough to collect the pot.

At the same table, Scott Baumstein has opened up a large lead over defending champion Justin Bonomo. The winners of these two matches will face off in the Round of 32.
