Quick Double for Brikis

Action folded to Josh "brikdog24" Brikis who open shoved for 228,000 from the hijack seat. Tim "tmay420" West re-shoved from the small blind, and after Paul Magriel released his big blind the hands were opened:

Showdown
Brikis: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
West: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop changed nothing, but the {10-Diamonds} on the turn pushed Brikis ahead of West. The {a-Clubs} on the river gave him two pair for kicks and giggles, doubling him to 460,000 chips.

West slipped to just 185,000.

Teska Out

Roger Teska has been eliminated early on Day 3.

We missed the hand unfortunately, but across the room we spotted Teska collecting his things and heading for the door.

Day 3

Chips
Chips

Just two days ago, 3,097 players jammed into the Pavilion Room making Event #45 the largest $1,500 field this summer. Now, after two long days of play, we are down to 35 runners.

Sam Trickett is our chip leader with 922,000 chips and he is closely followed by Larry Wilder with 916,000. Trickett finished runner up to Jason DeWitt in Event #17: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em and chipped up steadily throughout Day 2. Wilder won a huge pot during one of the final hands last night, making a flush against Jesse Rockowitz (558,000) to win him a pot worth over a million chips.

Dutch Boyd (619,000) is in search of his second bracelet of the year. Frank Kassela is our only repeat offender thus far, and with a good run today Boyd could surely join him.

Thomas Bichon (265,000) and Josh "brikdog24" Brikis (232,000) are both below average and Tim "tmay420" West (419,000) is sitting right at average to start the day. All three of these players are tough though, and we wouldn't be surprised if one or all of them went very deep.

The action is scheduled to restart at 2:30 p.m. PST and we hope to see you then!
