Rob Wazwaz bet 15,000 from under the gun on a flop, and Kris Ehlen made it 37,000 to go. Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces champ Ken Pates shoved all in for 112,000, and Wazwaz got a count. He pushed forward a call, and it was Ehlen's turn to act.
"How much do you have behind, Rob?" Ehlen asked.
"He can't reraise can he?" Wazwaz asked the dealer.
After a bit, Ehlen laid it down.
Wazwaz:
Pates:
It was set-over-set and Pates didn't find his one out.
"He can't reraise, can he?" Alexander said, jokingly mocking Wazwaz's attempt to look weak.
"He's tried that one before," Ehlen said.
Players are on their first break of the day, which ends in a few minutes.

Both blinds checked to Rob Wazwaz, who bet 13,500 on a flop. Thane Fliginger raised to 27,000, and the small blinded folded. Wazwaz called, seeing a turn. Fliginger bet 20,000 this time, and Wazwaz again called. He fairly quickly called another 35,000 on the river, but Fliginger showed him a winner: for a turned full house.

We found Matt Alexander in the blinds, shoving all in over a bet from Kevin Fiedler on a flop. Fiedler quickly called off his stack of 54,000.

Fiedler:
Alexander had just two outs, and he didn't get there as an turn and river wasn't enough improvement.
"I just don't know how to play this game, I guess," Alexander said as he sent the requisite chips to his right.
