We caught up with the action on a {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} board, where Lauren Kling was in a pot against one other opponent. Kling checked from under-the-gun and her lone opponent checked behind from the hijack seat.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and Kling checked again. Her opponent checked as well and Kling said, "I don't have a diamond."

"Neither do I," her opponent replied.

Kling then tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} for top set and her opponent mucked.

Kling is still sitting right around the starting stack with 29,000.

Even Eastgate Gets Tired

Compartir en Twitter Compartir en Facebook

As we were passing through the tables in the Purple section, a player standing away from his chair stretched and yawned. "It's a long day," he said, as he rubbed his eyes and tried to refocus on two more hours of poker ahead.

From there we moved over to the Blue section, where 2008 Main Event champion Peter Eastgate has been quietly chipping up all day. Just now he was involved in a hand in which a player raised to 900 from the button and he defended his big blind.

The pair quickly fell into rapid check-check mode as the dealer dealt the {7-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {J-Clubs} flop, the {3-Clubs} turn, and the {6-Diamonds} river. "Ace," said Eastgate's opponent, turning over {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} . Eastgate tabled {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} , and the dealer waved the small pot in his direction.

Someone pointed out to Eastgate he'd made a straight on the river, and he leaned forward to see the cards, then grinned and shook his head. Not that it likely cost him anything, but he'd missed that made better than a low pair.

Now it was Eastgate rubbing his eyes, trying to refocus.

Grospellier Grossed Out

Compartir en Twitter Compartir en Facebook

It was battle of the blinds between the small blind and Bertrand Grospellier in the big blind. The flop read {a-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and the small blind bet out 600. ElkY made the call and the dealer landed the {A-Spades} on the turn. It was here that the small blind again fired out, this time for 1,700. Grospellier again made the call.

The {k-Diamonds} on the river lead to yet another bet from the small blind, 2,100 this time. Grospellier did the same thing he did before and tossed out a call. The small blind flipped over {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for a rivered flush and Grospellier threw his cards in the muck in disgust.

Dwan's Day Is Done

Compartir en Twitter Compartir en Facebook

By the time Tom Dwan moved over into the Purple section, he was already short-stacked, the baggie he was carrying only containing three or four chips, representing a stack of about 7,000.

He played through a couple of orbits, then came a hand in which he raised to 750 from middle position and got two callers in the blinds, including James Calderaro in the small blind. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} , and when it checked to Dwan he pushed all in for his last 6,300. Both of his opponents called, then after the {A-Clubs} turn it was Calderaro shoving his last 6,625 in the middle, getting a fold from his neighbor to the right.

Dwan and Calderaro then showed their hands...

Calderaro: {Q-Spades} {J-Spades}
Dwan: {10-Hearts} {9-Spades}

Two pair for Calderaro and a straight draw for Dwan. The river brought the {4-Spades} , and just before the end of Level 4, Dwan's day is done.

Tabatabai Takes One

Compartir en Twitter Compartir en Facebook

John Tabatabai raised to 700 from under the gun and got a couple of callers from middle position. Then the player in the hijack seat reraised to 2,700, and it folded back around. Tabatabai reraised again to 6,900 total, clearing the two callers. His lone remaining opponent thought a bit, then called.

The flop came {10-Spades} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} , and Tabatabai waited a full minute before checking. His opponent checked quickly behind. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} , and again with much deliberation Tabatabai waited before acting. Finally he bet 7,200, and after only a few seconds his opponent called.

The river was the {J-Spades} , and again all waited while Tabatabai considered what to do. Finally he pushed out a bet of 13,500, and after a final check of his cards, Tabatabai's opponent folded.
