Level 3:  Blinds 75/150

Richard Clayton wasted no time getting back in action after his 4th place finish in Event 1 yesterday.  He came into Day 3 of that event as the chip leader and ended up taking 4th in a chip-based chop when they got down to the final five.

He was put to the test early today after getting check-raised on an Ace-high flop.  After tanking for a minute, Richard let it go.

Level 2:  Blinds 50/100

Larry Klur (Pembroke Pines, FL) and Steve Marcozzi (Naples, FL) wasted no time getting their chips in this morning.

During the first level, the two clashed when a raising war ensued and Larry said “Okay, let’s play for it all”.   Steve was ahead with pocket Queens against Larry’s AK.  The flop had an Ace in the door for Larry, but there was a Queen behind it for Steve.  The King on the river was just salt in the would for Larry, who hit the rail.  He was back a few minutes later after firing another bullet.

Steve chipped up to about 24k with that pot.
