Jonathan “therookieqq9″ Plens picked up a big hand right after taking a hit to his stack that brought him down to one million. Plens (pictured at right) made it 100K preflop and his opponent with about 700K called in position. Plens bet 140K into the 300K pot on a J

flop; his opponent moved all-in and Plens called, revealing the A
A
which was way ahead of his opponent’s K
T
. When the board didn’t bring another club, Plens sent his opponent to the rail in 56th place.
Plens later moved to Chris “SLOPPYKLOD” Klodnicki’s table. Klodnicki’s stack has built from the onset and currently is at 5.6 million. He won a big hand earlier in the day when he flat-called a 5X raise with A-K and flopped a pair on a K-10-4 board. His opponent made an aggressive play at him and bloated the pot with A-J. Klodnicki’s top pair held and his chipstack grew.
Peter “number1pen” Neff took a hit earlier right before the last 20-minute break when he re-raised a 90K opening bet to 258K. An opponent behind Neff went all-in with a meager 350K stack; Neff called with pocket queens but was behind his opponent’s aces, dropping Neff’s stack down a bit. Neff’s stack is currently at 1.45 million and is sitting two seats to the right of Owen “ocrowe” Crowe, who has 1.3 million.
Garrett “GBecks” Beckman is sitting directly to left of Adam “Roothlus” Levy. Beckman sat to Levy’s immediate right yesterday for awhile as well. Sorry Mr. Levy.
Team Ladbrokes player Peter “Pete4002″ Eastgate was recently moved to the side featured table, across the felt from Brandon Cantu. Sitting next to the dealer in the nine seat, Peter guards a well-above average stack of 3.5M and was playing extremely tight when we caught up to the table.
We weren’t able to catch the elimination of Jeremy “thechemist83″ Gaubert (pictured at left), but we found out shortly after that he got his final chips in with A-K against the pocket jacks of Mike Matusow and couldn’t outdraw “The Mouth.” Gaubert finished in 58th place for $115,800. Also knocked out in the past level was Rafael “rcaiaffa” Caiaffa, who took 55th place for $115,800.
