Richard Lyndaker had the button in seat 4. He raised to 115,000. Only Joe Commisso called from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Spades}. Commisso was first to act and checked his option. Lyndaker bet out 140,000. Commisso wasted little time in making the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Commisso checked. Lyndaker tapped the table with both hands to signify a check.

The river card was the {4-Hearts} and Commisso checked again. Lyndaker bet out 360,000. Commisso played with his cards and looked back at the board a few times with a pouting look on his face. He then showed the {A-Diamonds} and folded.

The river was the {A-Diamonds}. Commisso sat quietly and motionless for a moment before betting 225,000. Lyndaker called. Commisso showed {A-?} {9-?} and Lyndaker mucked.

In the last hand of the level, Richard Lyndaker folded from the button. Then Edward Ochana raised to 130,000 from the small blind. Joe Commisso called from the big blind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Ochana bet 150,000, and Commisso called. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, possibly completing a number of draws. Ochana took a quick peek at Commisso, then pushed out 250,000. Commisso thought for a minute, then folded.

Relative Calm After Early Storm

Shamus

After that early flurry that saw three eliminations in rapid succession, our three remaining players appear to have settled down somewhat with their still quite deep stacks. The crowd in the Milwaukee's Best Light No Limit Lounge has also grown quieter as they watch the trio trade chips back and forth.

One gets the sense, though, that we are only a raise and reraise away from another all-in confrontation.

Joe Commisso has pushed back out in front with 3.55 million, Richard Lykander has 2.49 million, and Edward Ochana has slipped to 2.02 million.

Hand #39: Edward Ochana

Edward Ochana raised to 85,000 from the button, Joe Commisso folded from the small blind, and Richard Lykander called from the big blind.

Lykander checked in the dark, and the flop came {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{A-Spades}. Ochana checked behind.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}. This time Lykander bet 125,000, and Ochana made the call.

The river was the {A-Clubs}, and Lykander quickly checked. Ochana bet 170,000, and Lykander folded.
