Movers and Shakers
Daniel Ospina is crushing dreams and owning souls at Table 4. He's up to 330,000 in chips. Closely trailing him is Joao Neto, who has more than doubled his Day 2 starting count to about 300,000. Our colleagues at PokerStarsBlog caught Neto in an early hand in which he flopped a set of treys against Mauricio Zeman's pocket aces and doubled to 170,000. He's been flying high since then.
On the other end of the spectrum, we had to bid a sad farewell to American Shirely Rosario. She moved in for about 40,000 after Victor Shuchleib opened for 5,000 and was called by one player. Shuchleib called with pocket 7s against Rosario's and hit a seven on the flop to seal the deal.
The room is buzzing right now not with talk of the tournament, but with talk of the stunning announcement out of New York a short time ago of a massive U.S. federal indictment against the three largest poker sites in the world. It's all anyone not involved in a hand can talk about.
