We ended up with a field of 18 starters with latecomers including Billy "The Croc" Argyros. Unfortunately for Argyros he's already had to dig into his pockets for a rebuy. After being all in on the turn with {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

against Joe Meissner on a {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

board. Meissner made the call with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

and proceeded to take the pot when the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

spiked on the river.

We're down to 15 players left, with Antonio Casale among the early casualties electing not to rebuy.

The players have just reached the end of the rebuy period and are currently purchasing an add-on before taking a 30-minute break.

Sam Khouiss is a clear chip leader with about 8,000 chips and is talking up a storm!
