In a three-way pre-flop all-in, seat 6 was the short stack who open-shoved. Then Seat 7 shoved. Seat 10 gave it some thought, then called, having both other players covered. Seat 6 held JT off and was way behind. Seat 7 held pocket Queens for the lead and Seat 10 held AK off. The flop of K T 6 gave the lead to the big stack and left two players in jeopardy.
A Queen fell on the turn, giving seat seat 7 and set and the lead once again. The river card changed the lead once again as an Ace fell, giving the short-stack a runner-runner Broadway straight and the triple-up. Seat 7 took the side pot with his set of Queens and Seat 10 was left shaking his head.
Mike "Little Man" SicaOver on Table 34, six players limped to the flop of A 9 7. The blinds checked to seat 3, who fired 1,800. Seat 5 (hijack) called and Mike 'Little Man' Sica called from the button. The other players dropped out. Turn was a Jack and seat 3 launched 3,300 into the pot. Both players called. River was another 9 and all three players checked. Mike declared "I've got an Ace" and seat 3 rolled over A6 suited. Seat 5 mucked and Mike showed A6 offsuit to split the pot.
Our suspected chip leader, Jason Nguyen, has dropped back to about 140k, but still appears to hold the lead.
In a hand that extended well into the break, Jason Flad of Brooklyn, NY (known as "seat 8" in an earlier post) bet 30k on a flop of 6 5 3 with two spades. Mark Hansen (button) tanked for about 12 minutes, well into the dinner break, then shoved for 42,500. The third player folded quickly and Jason called, showing AQ of spades for the nut flush draw. Mark held pocket Jacks. It was over quickly as the deuce of spades landed on the turn, completing Jason's flush and leaving Mark drawing dead. Jason chipped up to about 130k, closing in on the chip leader.
Level 8 is over and players have scattered to enjoy their 45 minute dinner break. Play will resume at about 6:45 pm.
