Reserved

With a pretty packed house up here in the Bellini Ballroom, Bryan Micon and blogger/reporter Marc Hodge have opted to use some 'Reserved' signs to mark their seats in the front row while they make a quick run to grab some food and drinks. Micon made sure to tell the tournament staff not to let anyone take these seats, as him, Hodge and their girlfriends want the best seats they can have to rail their good friend Brett Richey.

Jaka Folds Cool

Corkins Betting Bigger Than the Rest

One thing is for certain, Hoyt Corkins is't messing around with his three-bets. Corkins has been three-betting to the largest amount out of everyone at the table. Some of the players find it a little funny that when a player opens to about 4,000, Corkins makes it around 17,000 if he wants to three-bet. Most of his bets post flop have been pot-sized as well, opting to get the money in whenever he feels he should.

Richey Gets Poorer

Brett Richey raied to 4,600 and Faraz Jaka made the call in position. Ashton Griffin called in the small blind and would be out of position on every street to follow.

The flop came down {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Griffin checked and Richey bet 11,500. Jaka flat-called and Griffin folded.

The turn added the {6-Diamonds} to the board. Richey checked and Jaka fired 20,000. Richey folded, allowing Jaka to add some chips to his stack.

Rail Report

The big names at the felt have drawn some of their fellow pros to the stands. Shawn Rice and Ted Lawson are here sitting with Hoyt Corkins' cowboy-hatted rail. Bryan "the Icon" Micon is on the other side of the room with Brett Richey's cheering section.

Corkins Picking Up Some Chips

From the button, Hoyt Corkins raised to 4,000 and Joe Cassidy defended from the big blind. The two players took a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Cassidy checked and Corkins fired 5,200. Cassidy made the call.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Cassidy checked. Corkins continued his aggression with a bet of 18,000 and Cassidy mucked.

The turn added the {10-Spades} to the board and Griffin fired again. He made a bet of 27,800 this time and Eastgate tanked for about a minute. He ended up folding his hand and Griffin won the pot.
