Lucky Lind
We came in on the action with Kenneth Lind calling the all in of Jo Ianello with a flop of on the board. Lind had for top pair and a flush draw and Ianello tabled for two pair.
Ianello survived the turn but the river completed Lind's draw, eliminating Ianello in 20th place. Lind told us he was in the hand by mistake because he thought he was the big blind when he put his initial call into the pot. Lucky for Lind he didn't give up once the mistake was made.

Barry Bashist Bashes Tim McCarthy
After making it 100,000 to play with , Barry Bashist heard the words he wanted to hear.
"I'm all-in," declared Tim McCarthy, moving his last 310,000 forward for the all in bet.
When the original raiser got out of the way, Bashist snap-called, telling McCarthy and the dealer "don't do it to me again" as McCarthy had recently cracked a previous pair of aces with ace-nine suited, flopping the flush.
McCarthy turned over his and hoped to crack the aces for a second time, but no miracles arrived on the board, sending home on the second-best hand in Hold'em.
Barry Bashist | 775,000 | 384,000 |
Tim McCarthy | 0 | 0 |

Kimberley Kilroy Flops Set for the Triple Up
Michel Bouskila opened for 45,000, James McClendon called, and Kimberley Kilroy thought this was a good time to move her short stack of 129,000 all in.
She was not pleased to see Bouskila make the four-bet, reraising to 275,000, and when McClendon called she stood up in preparation to make her exit.
The flop fell , and after a check by Bouskila, McClendon moved all-in himself. The play pushed Bouskila out of the pot, and McLendon turned over the expecting to be in the lead.
Kilroy revealed the , however, and her flopped set gave her a huge advantage over McClendon's single pair. The on the turn brought a gutshot draw for McClendon, and some added sweat for the last lady left in the Seniors Championship, but the on the river secured her the triple up.
"I folded ," said Bouskila quietly to nobody in particular. "The ace came..."
Michel Bouskila | 550,000 | -365,000 |
James McClendon | 475,000 | -75,000 |

Harold Kizzire Hogties the Alabama Cowboy
As one of the few players in the world to have won twice at the WSOP and on the WPT, Hoyt Corkins was by far the most experienced player left in our field. Seeking to improve on his 4th place finish in this event last year, Corkins will have to try another day after his Seniors Championship run came to an end at the hands of Harold Kizzire.
Kizzire took a large portion of Corkins stack in a previous clash, and he finished the Alabam Cowboy off with . THe action folded around to Kizzire in the small blind, and he looked over at Corkins' short stack to see 20,000 of his 80,000 as dead money in the big blind. Kizzire quickly moved all in to put Corkins at risk if he called, and he was happy to see the dangerous pro turn over just .
"Worst hand I could see," said Corkins. "I'd rather go up against aces here."
Corkins' suspicions were confirmed on the flop, and his gutshot never got there on the turn ( ) or river ( ), sending him home short of consecutive final table appearances at the Seniors Championship.
Harold Kizzire | 355,000 | -240,000 |
Hoyt Corkins | 0 | -266,000 |

Mark Kroon Crushed by Queen on River
We didn't see the action, but nobody could mistake the agony in Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon's voice when he screamed out as a bad river card hit the board.
Apparently, Kroon made a play with on the board, but Kenneth Lind wanted to the river with his . With all of his chips in the middle, Kroon's read was right and his ace-high hand was in front, but the on the river ended his tournament in painful fashion.
Kenneth Lind | 855,000 | 300,000 |
Mark Kroon | 0 | -358,000 |

Clash of The Big Stacks
You would think with the two of the biggest stacks in the room at the same table, they would be staying out of each other's way. That doesn't seem to be the case.
We came to the table just as James Miller moved all in on the flop and Kenneth Lind made the call. Miller showed for a flush and Lind was drawing dead with . The irrelevant turn and river cards were dealt and Miller took down a huge pot and is now the clear chip leader.
James Miller | 1,750,000 | 662,000 |
Kenneth Lind | 555,000 | -502,000 |
