Level 13 is underway and players in Flight C have hit the home stretch. They’ll log three more 40-minute levels before play wraps and they bag and tag.

Darryll Fish

Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Darryll Fish was in a heads up pot in position. The flop was 7d4d2d and both players checked. The turn fell the 6c and Fish’s opponent lead for 6,000. Fish called. The river was the Ah. Fish’s opponent lead again, this time for 10,000. Fish thought for a minute, then raised to 30,000. The opponent promptly jammed for 59,700 total. Fish thought about it for a minute or two before he let it go.

Despite the tough fold, Fish is still healthy with a stack of 225,000.

Players are now on a 15-minute break — their last of the night.

Brothers Jacob (left) and Bradley Snider

For the second consecutive day, the Snider brothers find themselves seated at the same table. Yesterday they at least had James Salmon separating them, but today they are smack dab right next to eachother. And it’s been good so far.

Jacob Snider, who chopped the Deep Stack Series opener last year, sits on 83,000 chips while Bradley, the defending Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open The Big 4 $2,650 winner, owns 210,000 and contends for the chip lead early in Level 11.

He sits at pretty much starting stack midway through Level 9.
