Keep on Truckin' ...

The field has now moved well past the 3,100-player mark and amongst those who are still in today's field is former PokerNews Live Reporting guru Garry Gates.

In a recent hand on table 129, the player in the UTG +1 position raised to 300 and the action folded around to another player in late position who called, as well as Gates from the big blind to go three ways into a flop of {5-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Gates and the UTG +1 checked, but both folded after the late position player fired out a bet. Gates may still be in, but Melanie Weisner is not - a little birdie on the interwebs told us.
