Lee Finds a Double the Hard Way

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught the action after a flop of {6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and a player led for 3,000. Christopher Lee made the call and the {9-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Lee's opponent check-raised all in after he bet 6,000. Lee quickly called and his {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} needed find a diamond as his opponent had flopped a set of queens. The {8-Diamonds} river flushed and crushed, giving Lee the double.

Pupillo Trying to Build

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Nick Pupillo opened to 1,000 from early position and was three-bet to 2,500 from right behind. Action folded back to Pupillo who made the call. The flop came {9-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and Pupillo bet 3,000, forcing a fold.

Pupillo, a serious threat to make noise in any event he enters, is creeping further away from his starting stack.

Dignan Gets Full Value

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We caught the action after a flop of {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Gohshi Morita led for 1,400, with only Jason Dignan making the call. The turn was the {a-Clubs} and Morita continued for 2,800. Dignan raised to 7,000 and Morita made the call. The {k-Hearts} river brought a check from Morita and Dignan thought for a moment, before moving all of his chips forward, approximately 18,000.

Morita thought about it and eventually made the call, but mucked when Dignan tabled {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nuts. Dignan is healthy and left Morita with just a single T500 chip.

Masseuse in High Demand

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Moneymaker during tenser times
Moneymaker during tenser times

With a cry of "floor", Chris Moneymaker got everyone's attention, but it was only somewhat tournament related. "I won every pot while she was massaging me, now he's winning every pot", Moneymaker pleaded, referring to the masseuse's new customer.

The "genie wink" of the floor person didn't work though, as Moneymaker's request to have her hand's removed from his opponent went unheard.
