Niemeier Picks Off Frank

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Robbie Frank bet about 50,000 on the river on a board of {8-}{10-}{8-}{10-}{4-}, and Evan Niemeier made the call. Frank tossed {2-}{2-} into the middle; he was playing the board. Niemeier showed {a-}{q-} for ace-high.

At the other table, Crystal Utley bowed out in 17th, followed by Joe Leisure in 16th.

Espenlaub Gets Huge Double Through Hobbs

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Drake Espenlaub
Drake Espenlaub

We found the cards face up at one of the remaining tables, with Drake Espenlaub at risk.

Espenlaub: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
David Hobbs: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Espenlaub stood up in anticipation, but he had little to worry about on the {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} run out.

Hobbs, down to 84,000, busted moments later.

Hahn Takes a Huge Hit

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Michael Hahn
Michael Hahn

From middle position, Michael Hahn bet 15,000 on a {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop, and Evan Niemeier made it 55,000 to go in the cutoff.

"Is that 50?" Hahn asked, taking a bite of his lunch. After getting the count, he pushed forward about 250,000, enough to put Niemeier all in, who snap-called.

Niemeier: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Hahn: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Hahn needed to fill up, but the last two streets brought low bricks, and the Day 1a leader is under 10 big blinds.
