Event 12: Nice Toft Landing
$500 + $60 H.O.R.S.E.
Bo Toft (Yardley, PA) knows his way around a H.O.R.S.E. tournament. He took 10th in WPT Main - World Poker Finals for $132,778 and has cashed too many times in his long career to mention including FT at a WSOP Stud Event.
Bo's been playing poker for decades and and was wondering if he was the oldest guy still in the tournament.
As for today, he was down to 4,000 then hit the deck 6 hands in a row to build his stack to an impressive 90,000.
"Now it's time to defend" said the chip leader.
22 Players remain on 3 tables.
Average stack is 48,545

Event 11: The Bariban Has Been Raised
$400 + $50 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
Now at table 1 is William Bariban (Brooklyn, NY). He's climbed from obscurity all the way up to being amongst the chip leaders. All thanks to pocket eights.
In back to back hands Bariban held wired eights and both time they proved to be gggggr8!
First 88 held up vs. AK suited. Then William's 88's were behind against Opponent's 99's. It took a miracle case 8 on the river to give Bariban the hand and monster scoop.
After I took William's picture he said he'd be signing autographs tomorrow from 7-12.
Table 3 has broken up. That leaves 18 players or 3 tables of 6.
Play will end at 2am then redraw and continuation tomorrow.

End of the road for Nathan Tuthill (Fredericksville, VA) who got his short stack in with K-10 vs. Kevin McColgan's J-8. Tuthill ended the hand with two pair but McColgan hit a straight with his J.
Board: Q-A-10-A-K
That brought the table down to four players and play continued. That certainly brings a new dynamic to the table.

If you're wondering how Mike "Little Man" Sica got his name it happened 44 years ago after he played pool for 38 hours straight. Billiards pro Bill "Weenie Beenie" Staten saw Mike and said, "Look at that little man there with all that heart".
The name stuck and now Mike plays marathon poker sessions instead of pool - but he still has a lot of heart.
"He wins every pot he plays" says Josh Supsak sitting across. Josh doubled up Sica who had been stuck at 10,000 for 6 hours.
Mike "Little Man" Sica - 81,000

Event 11: Cupcake Wars
$400 + $50 Six-Max No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
I have to say this is the first edible card protector I've ever seen. So here's the story behind John Hinds cupcake marker. He returned from dinner and it was simply sitting there. Hmmmm.
John suspected that it came from May Siu who took a big pot away from him before dinner.
May Q♥ 10♥ vs. John's K♦10♣
Board: K♠ 8♥ 2♦ K♥ A♥
At the conclusion of the hand John joke with May, "I think I deserve your dinner voucher for that one". So instead of treating for dinner, May extended an olive branch in the form of a cupcake.
In a short period of time John has grown attached to his marker especially since he's been winning with it. In fact, he's vowed to only eat the cupcake once he's busted - even if he wins and the tournament goes to the end of Day 2.

Most noteworthy hand for Supsak came against Orson Young. When the blinds were 800 / 1600, Orson had 180,000 then lost $125,000 when he hit a bottom straight vs. Supsak's stop straight.
Josh J-10 vs. Orson 66 against an 8-7-5-10-9 board.
A couple hands later Josh finished Orson off in a 77 vs 22 match-up.

$500 + $60 H.O.R.S.E.
Three ladies remain. Kim Findura (Butler, NJ) and Wendy Freedman (Las Vegas, NV) are at the same table while Vanessa Brown (Queens, NY) is next door.
Vanessa just got beat up in a big hand leaving her with 6K and change. "It's okay, if I bust here I'll win it back downstairs" said Brown.
As for Kim, she likes all the hi/lo games best and said she hates STUD. Kim's best hand of the day was when she doubled up with quad 6's against and all-in.
Wendy loves the H.O.R.S.E. event and ironically loves actual horses. In fact, she used to ride and compete Western Style.
So we'll see from the 56 remaining players if these three interesting ladies can end up in the top spot.
