It was a good couple of levels for Jimmy Fricke as he has chipped up nicely, but Kevin McPhee looked pretty unhappy toying with his last few chips.

Doing a sweep of the room for updated chip counts we noticed that Barny Boatman was chipping up nicely when this hand occurred.
There was a raise to 125 and Boatman made it 350 on the button. The blinds folded and his opponent went all in for 1,700. Boatman practically beat him in the pot and turned over 
versus the 
of his opponent.
The flop was 
. Boatman said he didn’t want to pair his ace anymore. The turn card 
then gave his opponent spade flush outs, and the river 
was one of them.
Boatman was on a stack of nearly 8,000, but he’ll have to do it all over again as he’s back to right around the starting stack.

Fresh off his first WSOP Bracelet win in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout just days ago, Alex Bolotin is back at it.
The man they call Diesel took a little of that $259,211 in prize money and dropped it down on today’s $1,500 six-max and has his stack up to 7,000 already.
However, a little was shaved off the top when he tried to punish an early-position limper by making it 175 from the button. The limper came along for the ride and when the flop fell 
he shipped it for close to 2,700. Bolotin was forced to fold.

Griffin Benger certainly seems in a feisty mood.
Just sat down to @pratyushbuddiga's left in $1500 6-max and told him I'm gonna fucking crush him. This is chess, not checkers buddy. #6maxFollow @GriffinBenger

Victor Ramdin’s tournament has come to a premature end. We didn’t see the action but a grinning Oleksandr Gnatenuo from the Ukraine pointed to himself when we asked what happened.
“Queens against jacks.” he said, and that was that.

Some may say six-max is a younger man’s game. That the loose play and aggression required for success in this format is not for the over-50 crowd.
Former WPT Bay 101 Champion Steve Brecher would certainly disagree. He’s pushing 70 and still coming in with a hefty slew of raises here in the early going.
In a hand moments ago, he made it 175 from early position and got a call from a fellow gray-haired gentleman in the big blind. Brecher led out on the 
flop for 275, but the senior in the big blind fired right back, making it 575. Brecher laid it down.

It was checked to Jake Cody on a board that read 
and he bet 350. The under-the-gun player made the call and then checked dark. The river was the 
. Cody thought about it and checked as well. His opponent showed 
and it looked as though Cody pretty much expected that as he mucked his cards.
"No way you had the five there." said his opponent. Cody remained tight-lipped.
That pot may not have gone his way but the chips certainly seem to be flowing in his direction.
