With around 18,000 in the pot and a board reading , Rex Clinkscales, who has reentered the tournament, checked and watch John Vitt fire out 10,000 from the button. Clinkscales hit the tank, during which time Vitt told him he would show him his hand if he folded.
Clinkscales eventually released, and Vitt showed a mere pair of threes with .
Meanwhile, Sean Munjal has jumped back into the tournament.
Derek McMaster has established himself as the early chip leader, and he just added to it by knocking out an opponent.
We're not sure how the action unfolded on the turn with a board reading , but we do know the player in the big blind ended up all in holding the against McMaster, who held the in the small blind.
McMaster had his opponent drawing dead, and after the was put out on the river for good measure, he added approximately 80,000 to his stack.
With roughly 10,000 in the pot and a board reading , current MSPT POY leader Mark Hodge bet 3,800 only to have Mike Hassab raise to 8,000. Hodge took his time before coming out with a three-bet to 18,800, and Hassab thought for a bit before just calling.
"I have a boat," Hassab said and tabled the .
"Quads," Hodge said and tabled the . The entire table, including Hodge, seemed impressed that Hassab just called.
"I almost shipped it right there," Hassab admitted. "Wow, I got off cheap."
We saw the "all-in" button in front of Aaron Massey and made our way over to discover he was at risk for 48,000 against Gary Germann, who was sitting on a stack of 62,000.
Massey:
Germann:
Both players held the same hand, but of different suits. As such, the flop made things interesting by giving Germann a freeroll. The turn wasn't it, and much to Massey's good fortune, neither was the river. Chop it up!
Despite chopping that pot, both players are up since the last time we checked in on them.
Since reentering yet again, it seems Sean Munjal may finally be on the right track.
In a recent hand, Julian Levy raised to 2,500 under the gun and Munjal, who was next to act, made the call. The rest of the field folded and it was heads-up action to the flop. Levy checked, Munjal bet 3,600, and Levy quickly check-raised to 8,500.
Not to be outdone, Munjal three-bet to 19,500, which gave Levy, who had about 34,000 behind, something to think about. A minute or so passed, but eventually Levy opted to lay it down.
Level 9 has expired, and that means it's time for the 45-minute dinner break. When they return, the remaining players will play eight more levels before bagging and tagging for the night.
