Level 4: 100/200

Paul Pantoja was all set to leave the tournament area but instead leaves behind a nice stack on the break.

He was all-in at the start of Level 4 with and the 9-seat called after a long tank.

“Oh, you got me,” his opponent said when he tabled . It went smoothly for Pantoja on the flop but wasn’t looking good when the turn came . Pantoja was out of his seat then paused and clapped when the dealer pealed a river for Broadway.

Pantoja is up to 49,500 as the players head off on their first break of the day.

Level 4: 100/200

Thomas Collazo got caught in a game of peek-a-boo.

The Miami resident was in a three-way pot on the button that had already gotten to 6,500 pre-flop.  With a flop, the two players in front of Collazo checked around and Thomas followed.

The turn brought the and Collazo’s opponents once again check to him.  Collazo bet 2,300 and the player two seats to his left makes a reluctant call.

With a on the river and Collazo staring down his competition, the player begins to move his hand up and down over his eyes with a smile trying to break Thomas’s concentration.  Collazo would have none of it and fired out a 3,100 chip bet and got his opponent to show a pair of 8’s before the fold.

More top pros are making their presence felt in Event 8 including Ryan Tepen who played Flight 1A yesterday but skipped 1B for a night on the town with some friends.

Tepen quickly found himself in a five-way pot.  Out of the small blind, Tepen fired at a board getting only caller from the button.  After an fell on the turn, both players checked.  An on the river brought an bet from Tepen and a quick fold from his opponent giving Tepen the hand and a solid pot to add to his stack.

Level 15:  Blinds 1,500/3,000/500 ante

On a flop of  Q Q 6, the player in seat 9 shoved and Thong Tran snap-called, showing pocket 6s for a full house.  His opponent was in bad shape holding KQ for trips and needing a King or Queen (4 outs) to survive.

River was an 8 and seat 9 hit the rail.  Tran chipped up to about 235k, putting him among the chip leaders.

With ten minutes remaining in the level, they stopped the clock and ordered all tables to play 4 more hands, then bag up for the night.
