Steicke folds around to Jeffreys, who raises to 60,000; Hinkle to his left calls.

Flop: {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

Jeffreys checks, and Hinkle bets 75,000. Jeffreys calls.

Turn: {4-Spades} and they both check

River: {3-Clubs}

Jeffreys checks and Hinkle bets 150,000. Jeffreys calls, but mucks when Hinkle turns over a five for the straight.

Hand #1 - Brockington

After our announcer declares "fire in the hole" (his own personal catchphrase, I believe), it is Mark Brockington who kicks off the action today with a raise of 75,000. Bjorin calls.

{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Brockington continue-bets for 125,000. Bjorin folds.

First blood to Brockington.

Let The Debagging Commence

We're fast approaching the 2pm mark, but I don't quite foresee a punctual start. However, the players are present and currently involved in the brief debagging process.

There are a few war-weary faces this morning (including your intrepid reporters), but one man who appears to be full of life is final table chip leader Andrew Jeffreys.

After greeting us with a customary smile and handshake, he confessed that although Dustin Dirksen is a fearless, unpredictable player, his toughest opponent today is probably Blair Hinkle, whose aggressive playing style may give Jeffreys a problem or two, especially with Hinkle seated just one seat to Jeffreys's left.

Could be a fun ride.
