The tournament is now on a 15-minute break.
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
As a founding member of an all female poker crew called The Grindettes, Katie Stone has never been shy to speak her mind in the traditionally patriarchal world of tournament poker. She is an outspoken advocate of expanding the game's embrace, hoping to entice more women to participate in poker without being bullied out by brashness and bravado.
Stone just showed her moxie yet again, calling the clock on a man who was tanking for an inordinately long time.
The flop read 
and about 5,500 was up for grabs in the pot when Stone saw her opponent tap the table. She jammed all in for 12,025, making a big overbet before waiting for her opponent to respond. Rather than call or fold though, the man sat still as a stone for a few minutes, which prompted the aforementioned call for a clock.
The man sat stoically in wait, letting his 60-second allotment tick down to two seconds before flinging his hand away.
Stone then began a friendly exchange with the man, showing that even as the age old battle of the sexes rages on, the game of poker remains all in good fun.
Unfortunately for Stone, however, she went bust just a few hands later after running 
into the 
held by Paul Weiser. The money went in before the flop and the board rolled out 
and Stone headed for the exits just before break.

We just saw Robert Panitch shamble into the Signature Room searching for his seat.
That means the tournament's entertainment value just increased exponentially, as the man known to the poker world as "Uncle Krunk" is widely known as one of the game's true characters.
The Krunk can play a little poker too...
Panitch just took down the World Series of Poker Circuit St. Louis Main Event two weeks ago, earning $137,283 and a seat in the season-ending National Championship.
That WSOP Circuit National Championship will be friendly confines for "Uncle Krunk," as Panitch placed 3rd in the 2013 edition of the tournament.
We'll track Panitch's progress throughout the day, because win or lose, there's nobody in poker quite like man they call Krunk.

Olga Petrovskaya held 
and raised to 1,200 after a player limped into the pot for 400 (this hand was played during Level 6).
Her opponent flatted to see the flop fall 
and he checked to the Russian-born femme fatale.
Petrovskaya - who we last saw at the final table of the Ladies event earlier in the week, where she finished in 5th place - decided on a c-bet of 3,000 after flopping top pair, only to see the man shove all in for 7,000 more.
Petrovskaya made the call to find herself in a great spot, as her opponent held an outkicked ace with 
. The turn (
) and river (
) changed nothing, and after slipping early to start the day, Petrovskaya chipped up nicely as she looks to make her second final table of the series.
