Day 9: Nobles, Gold, Laak and Brenes
By Sean Lind
The only event running with any news to report as of 1 p.m. Saturday was the $2,500 NLHE Event 13. Dmitri Nobles got himself involved in a four-way pot early in the day.

After a pre-flop raise, four players saw the flop:
J
8
6
After everyone called the first player's bet of $275, the turn brought the 9
. It got checked to Nobles, who bet $775, which was called by two players.
The river brought the A
for a board of J
8
6
9
A
.
Everyone checked the river, Nobles turning over 7
5
for a straight to win a big early pot.
It looks like Gold was doing exactly what he does best again. After raising with A
K
in one of the first rounds of play, Gold slow-played the flop of A
Q
#9S. When the A
came on the turn, Gold pushed his $3,000 stack and talked his opponent into calling off all of his own chips with A
8
.
Brenes managed to take about half of Laak's stack after flopping a set of threes. Phil never showed his hand, but judging by the unconnected board of Q
3
7
8
2
, chances are it was a strong top pair or two.
