Berger's Kings Crush One

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Dale Berger bet 6,000 from the small blind on a board of {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and his opponent shoved all in for just about 7,000 more. Berger quickly called, flipping {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, and his opponent had top pair on the flop with {j-Spades}{9-Hearts} but had turned a dangerous straight draw. The {3-Clubs} river was a brick, and Berger collected the stack of his opponent.

Gibson Turns Quads for Elimination

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Bohn Sinking Again

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Blake Bohn's second bullet is going no better than his first early on. In a recent pot, he was on the button in a three-bet pot against the small blind, and Bohn bet 2,200 on the {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop. His opponent check-raised to 6,000, and Bohn called. On the {9-Clubs} turn, the small blind bet 8,000, and Bohn thought for a couple of minutes before releasing his cards.

Bohn Back In

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Blake Bohn apparently busted out just before the break, as his seat was empty when the tournament resumed. He's now seated at a different table with a fresh 20,000 stack.

Meanwhile, Steve Belland has cashed in the seat he won earlier in a satellite, while notable Nebraskan Phil Mader has taken a seat as well. Mader is best known for a long stint at the televised table during last year's World Series of Poker, during which he locked horns with the legendary Phil Ivey and acquitted himself well.

Laney's Slowplay Pays Off

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Herb Laney
Herb Laney

Brian Weber bet 1,200 on a flop of {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} after Blake Bohn checked to him, and Herb Laney called on the button. Bohn fired out 4,100, and Weber apparently attempted to raise by dropping in some chips, only to have the floor called. It was ruled that since there was a pause between some of the chips Weber dropped, he was forced to just call. Laney announced an all-in reraise, and Bohn folded.

"I'm going to call," Weber said, pushing in the requisite chips after about a minute. Laney confidently reached out with his cards to reveal them. "Don't show me queen-jack."

Laney did: {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Weber held {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for top set, but he was unable to find a pair on the board as the {2-Diamonds} turn was followed by a {4-Spades} river.

Players are now on 10-minute break.

Weber Gets Two Streets from Bohn

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Brian Weber and Blake Bohn saw a flop in what appeared to be a three-bet pot, and Bohn checked from under the gun after the dealer spread a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. He called 2,600 from Weber, who was also in an early position, and the two saw a {9-Clubs} turn. Bohn check-called 3,000 this time, and both players checked the {3-Diamonds} river, with Weber turning over {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Bohn clenched his fists, saying he missed a big draw.
