$570 No Limit Hold’em
Level 19: 3,000/6,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 10 of 207

Robert Engle moved all in for 51,000 from under the gun and Zoltan Czinkota called from the hijack.

Engle showed JcJh and was in great shape against Czinkota’s 7c7d. The flop was 9c7s4h, which vaulted Czinkota into the lead.

The turn was the Js, however, and Engle regains the lead with a bigger set. The river was the 2h and Engles doubled up.

Robert Engle – 131,000 (23 bb)
Zoltan Czinkota – 360,000 (60 bb)

Players are back in their seats after the first break and we have two players out front. Both David Forester and Robert Engle pushed their starting stacks over 40,000 in the first four levels.

Engle did most of his stack building to the detriment of David Jackson. They were both dealt aces, they got all the chips in the middle, and Engle four-flushed Jackson right out the door.

Robert Engle – 41,525 (208 bb)

It’s almost a certainty Event 15 will hit its guarantee in the next hour then start piling the money on top.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa ambassador is one of our latest entries and he’s trying to turn it around after a disappointing Monday. He went deep in both the Seniors and Turbo events only to bubble both.

The morning crowd continues to file into the ballroom as Event 15 nears its $50,000 Guarantee. They are three-quarters of the way there and should get there before too long, even with the single re-entry option.

Steven Bennett is back in the ballroom and he can be excused if he’s a little tired. He was here late last night on his way to taking the top prize as the $360 Turbo champ after an eight-way deal. Bennett is trying to go back-to-back but it will be a tough road.
