Sinclair Don't Care

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

A player on the button raised to 18,000. The small blind moved all in for 40,000. Michael Sinclair was in the big blind and four-bet to 110,000, the button folded.

Sinclair tabled {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and the small blind showed {k-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Sinclair took it down while a couple players commented on how he reraised with king-ten. Sinclair paid no attention and is right near the 500,000 chip mark.

Scott Schwalich Makes the Best of First 15 Minutes

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The first 15 minutes of Day 2 have gone quite well for Scott Schwalich. Schwalich started the day with 125,000 and doubled up quickly.

A few hands later, Schwalich opened to 16,000 from early position and four-bet jammed on a three-bet from his opponent one seat over. His opponent called, putting Schwalich at risk.

Scott Schwalich: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Schwalich scored another double, this time for a huge sum that boosted him into the top 10 counts.
