{ Tmay loses one of those pots that you talk about for weeks… }
    
@ 6:27 pm

Yes, WhoJedi here and I am still reporting for ya even though Al is out.

Timmy raises to $3,500 preflop and gets two callers.  The flop comes :7c::5c::5h: and the player in the small blind bets $7,000.  The other player folds and Tim makes the call.  The turn is the :9h: and both players check.  The river comes the :7s: and the small blind bets $13,000.  Tim thinks for a few minutes and then makes the call, turning over 7-5 for a full house.  However, the small blind turns over pocket nines for a better full house and rakes the pot.

Tim still has around $22,000 chips.

{ Alex has been eliminated… }
    
@ 6:10 pm

It is folded to Alex in middle position, who raises to $11,000 (leaving $1,600 behind).  The small blind calls and the flop comes :jd::6c::5c:.  The small blind bets $1,600 and Alex calls all in.  Alex turns over :ad::qs: but the small blind shows :8h::8s:.  The turn is the :2c: and the river comes the :3c:.  Alex does not improve and he has been eliminated from the tournament that he won only a year ago.

{ New Player at the Table }
    
@ 5:50 pm

With Alex down to only $11,000 chips, Nick Shulman has been moved to his table and is seated to his immediate right.

{ Short Stacked }
    
@ 5:33 pm

Alex raises to $3,100 preflop and the player in seat two moves all in for over $30,000.  Alex folds and is down to about $15,000 chips with the big blind about to hit him.
