We came to the table after a player had moved all in under the gun. On the button, Tyler Patterson called. Action was on Erik Seidel in the small blind and he took a while to count out a raise to 8,000 and put it in the pot.
This is when the player in the big blind went into the tank. He sat for about five minutes looking at his cards, counting the pot, and counting the chips to see what kind of equity he had in the hand. Eventually though, after his long tank, he made a pained look and slid his cards into the muck. Action was back on Tyler Patterson who folded.
Seidel:
Under The Gun:
The board rolled out very safe for Seidel when it came giving him the elimination along with the rest of the chips in the pot. While the player in the big blind looked even more pained after seeing the flop.
"I guess it's just poetic justice that you knocked me out," the player who had been eliminated said to Seidel. With that, he scooped the pot and gathered some of his newly acquired soldiers.

The regally named Marcus Aurelius has built what is by far the biggest stack in the room, and he is wielding that power to perfection, conquering everything in sight.
Two recent hands saw Aurelius reraise after an opponent opened, and both times his aggression earned him an easy pot.
First, a player opened for 1,700 from under the gun, and Aurelius casually announced a raise while tossing out five yellow T1000 tournament chips. His opponent folded to the pressure, and another pot was pushed to the tournament's reigning emperor.
A few hands later, another player tried to enter the pot for a raise of 1,600, and once again Aurelius popped it with a three-bet to 5,000. His opponent couldn't stand the heat, and Aurelius added another wing to his enormous chip palace.

With the stacks starting to absorb one another like fish in the sea, the larger ones gobbling up their smaller foes in one gulp, we've noticed a particularly large stack owned by Barry Hutter.
In a recent hand, Hutter raised before the flop, and continued with a bet of 1,500 when the flop fell . After his opponent mucked, Hutter added a few more stacks to his massive stack, which as of now stands at nearly 160,000. This gives Hutter about five times the average, and with his aggressive style, he is sure to add a few more towers before the night is through.

Earlier we reported about how Anthony Spinella eliminated Matt Stout from the tournament. It's 3 hours later now and Spinella is stirring up trouble again for other players at his table.
On a board of Spinella check raised all in against another opponent. The opponent called and the two went to show down.
Spinella:
Opponent:
"Give me that royal, one time," Spinella said to the dealer.
And the dealer obliged, giving him the on the turn for the unbeatable coconut of nuts. By that time, his opponent had got up from the table and walked out of the room realizing that he was now drawing dead and no matter what happened, he would be eliminated.
The river came the extending Spinella's royal flush to six cards where at any other table game or cash game he would've received possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately for him, his only prize is another post on PokerNews.com and the short stack of his opponent.
Oh well, could be worse.
