There’s no slowing them down on Table 29. While the rest of the field is dropping down slower than expected, chips are flying at this one table.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa poker ambassador Wally Maddah found another spot to get his chips in the middle, once again with the best hand. He was all-in from big blind against Nick Yunis on the button.

Maddah: AcJc
Yunis: As5s

The Qs4s3c flop gave Maddah another flush sweat but the 9c turn and 9d river were good enough to send him another double into the (more) comfortable zone.

On the next hand, the 1-seat moved all-in for 15,500 and Clifford Conners took his time to think about it in the big blind.

“I think I’m really live here,” Conners told the table.

He called the bet but he was not live.

Conners: Th8h
Opponent: QsTd

Conners was in danger of dropping down to ten big blinds, missed the 9h4c3d flop and As turn before binking the 8d river to send the field down one more player.

Clifford Conners – 61,000 (15 bb)
