Kai Cocklin

Level 3

Ante: 100
Bring In: 100
Completion: 400
Limits: 400-800

Mark Provenzano: XxXx / 9x10x - folded on fourth street
Shane Littlefield: XxXx / 9xAx4x - folded on fifth street
Joseph Ranciato: XxXx / 2x5xJx7x
Allen Kessler: XxXx / 6x5x8xJx - folded on sixth street

All four players in the pot had put in 400 on third and when Joseph Ranciato fired on fourth street, Allen Kessler called, Mark Provenzano folded, and Shane Littlefield called.

Kessler was the one to bet on fifth, which got Littlefield to fold, but Ranciato stuck around and then fired on sixth. Kessler didn't like what he saw and put his hand onto his head to while he mulled it over. After thinking it over for a short time, he let his hand go.

Limits: 400-800

With Level 3 in progress, the $1,500 Razz has drawn 275 entries so far, which is just over halfway to last year’s 547-player field. Late registration remains open through the end of Level 9, which means players have until around 8:45 p.m. to jump in and chase the bracelet.
