Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
There was around 150,000 in the pot on a board reading 
with heads-up action between Chan Pelton in the big blind and Brandon Waalen, who was under the gun. Chan had a bet of 80,000 in front of him and Waalen was deep in consideration as the other six tables awaited the hand to end. He eventually settled on a call.
"Straight," said Pelton, tabling 
for a backdoor six-high straight. Waalen sent his cards to the muck and the pot was shipped to Chan, who has numerous piles of chips stacked in a manner that is beginning to look like a city skyline and looking like around 900,000.

Jason Seitz went all in for 68,000 under the gun and action had folded around to Fredger West, who was in the big blind and in the tank. He was talking to Seitz and counting out a call, saying he really wasn't trying to slowroll Seitz. He then put out chips onto the felt.
"I really hope you're not ahead," said West eventually, putting out chips to call as he did so.
Jason Seitz: 
Fredger West: 
"You're ahead," added West after seeing the news. However, he didn't stay behind for long as the board ran out 
to give him a set of tens on the flop. Seitz stood up as the turn rolled off and was gone by the time the pot was shipped to West.
Moments earlier, Alex Winter got all in from the cutoff against Justin Thurlow, who was in early position.
Alex Winter: 
Justin Thurlow: 
The board ran out 
to give Winter a flopped full house that became a better one by the time the runout was finished, scoring him the double to take him up to 190,000 after coming into the day as one of the shortest stacks in the room. Thurlow is also off to a hot start despite losing the pot, having chipped up already over 600,000.
