"Lucky" Patni Gets a Shove Through

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kunal Patni checked from the big blind on a {j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop and an opponent in early position bet 5,500. Patni raised to 15,000 and his opponent called, bringing a {5-Spades}. Patni jammed for around 70,000 and his opponent quickly mucked.

"You are lucky," he said with a smile.

Patni said something we didn't catch and the player who bet the flop said he had {10-}{9-}.

Baldwin Gets the Fold

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The flop read {8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and the player in the middle position checked. Eric Baldwin bet 18,000 which his opponent called.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Baldwin's opponent checked once more. Baldwin now fired a bet of 36,000 over the line which was enough for him to pick up the pot.

Nguyen Busts With Kings

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen

A few minutes ago, Scotty Nguyen moved tables and was caught by the ESPN crew. "I am moving to table 407, baby," he said. A few minutes later, however, Nguyen was no longer to be featured on said table.

According to the ESPN camera crew, he was all in preflop and Marios Savvides, as well as Clayton Fletcher, called. On a {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, Savvides bet and that forced out Fletcher.

Nguyen turned over kings and Savvides had {a-}{q-} to remain ahead on a {9-} turn and {q-} river run out.

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jake Schindler
Jake Schindler

Jake Schindler raised pre-flop and was re-raised all in which Schindler called quickly. He was well ahead with {a-}{k-} against the {k-}{q-} of his opponent. The board was queenless as it ran out {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and secured Schindler the double up and continue to build his stack up from his earlier day short stack.

Also, a few other selected chip counts around pavilion green.

Brokos Relieved to See the Back of "Tough Table"

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Andrew Brokos
Andrew Brokos

Andrew Brokos appears to be the chip leader in the Main Event currently, and his table was about to break. With a lull in proceedings as Brokos waited for the final hand to finish out, he kindly answered a few of our questions.

"I got aces versus kings and that's been my day so far!" he said. "This was a pretty tough table so I'm happy to see what fate has in store for me...spin the wheel."

And how much does he want to bag now he's reached the heady heights of severe-figure stack territory?

"I would be happy to finish the day with half this!"
