And Another One

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Shawn Wilmot Jr just claimed another victim and is closing in on the 200,000 chip mark.

This time it was Sharman Olshan, who piled it in with {k-}{10-} on a ten high flop only to find out Wilmot had flopped a set of threes.

Work It Out

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Shawn Wilmot Jr
Shawn Wilmot Jr

Shawn Wilmot Jr seems to be having the kind of day where everything seems to be working out.

He made the nut straight with {4-}{7-}, busted a player with jacks over threes and even managed to win a decent pot making quad eights.

He now finds himself among the leaders as Level 11 comes to a close.

Deja Vu

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Bruce Pace
Bruce Pace

In Saturday's $500 No Limit Hold'em event, Bruce Pace shot up the leaderboard like a rocket in the early part of the day.

When asked how he managed to do it, the affable character in a Texas Longhorns hat said he could hardly remember.

Today seems a lot like yesterday for Pace as he once again finds himself among the early leaders with little in the way of explanation.

However, we did see him call a raise from the small blind with {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, flop an open-ender and turn a straight to drag one decent pot.

Unfortunately Pace's run-good ran out and he finished short of the money Saturday. Obviously he's hoping today will end differently.
