Day 2 of Event #3 has featured most delays in a tournament that I ever experienced. The first delay was due to the high volume of bustouts in the first few hands of play. Play was also slowed up to address the missing chips mentioned earlier. Most recently, there was a serious delay in the color-up. The staff took extra time to count every chip that was colored up. When a discrepency was discovered, Jack Effel and Jimmy Summerfeld quickly corrected the mistake. This should be the last major delay of this event.
The Fossilman has left the building. He limped from the small blind with A-A in a three-way pot. The flop was . Raymer checked along with the big blind. The player in early position bet the pot. Raymer check-raised all in and the big blind folded. Player from early position called with for a flopped straight. Raymer's aces were cracked as he headed to the rail.
