The flop 
was already dealt when we came to the table. Eric Crain, the small blind, called a 4,700 bet from Yorane Kerignard under the gun on the 
turn.
Crain checked called the 15,100 bet from Kerignard on the 
river and mucked his cards after seeing Kerignard's

In a bizarre hand Shannon Shorr was in the big blind with 800 for the big and only had 500 total behind him. That's right 500! It folded to the small blind who threw out a 1,000 yellow denomination chip. Shorr said, "That looks like a call." Which for some reason translated to his opponent as "call." So Shorr's opponent flipped over his cards because he thought that he was all in with Shorr. He flipped up 
. The dealer said that because Shorr's opponent did not say raise and he could only just called the 800 and action was on Shorr in the big blind.
The floor was called and he finalized that indeed Shorr's opponent just called and that the hand would continue. Action was then on Shorr who knew what his opponent was holding elected to check.
The best part of the story comes on the flop when the whole table rolled over laughing when the flop came 
. Shorr's opponent bet enough to put Shorr's remaining 500 at risk. Shorr who figured he must be drawing dead to his opponent's set had to fold and wait for one last hand to get his less than one big blind stack in. He was eliminated the next hand
For prematurely showing his hand Shorr's opponent had to sit out for one round.

With 72 players now left in the field, the tournament is just two tables off of the money, which will pay out the top 54 places. In last year's field of 639 players, the top 72 spots paid out. On Day 1, 77 players remained at the close of the first 10 levels of play, but due to World Series of Poker rule, the tournament continued until the money bubble burst because the field was within one table of the money. With just over 30 minutes left in Day 1 this year, it could be close that the same ruling is reached. We'll keep you posted to what happens.

Melanie Weisner just sat down to the direct right of Danny "Miami Boss" Suied. Suied was joking with Weisner and mentioned a confrontation at the poker table they had in the past. Weisner claimed she didn't remember, but Suied didn't buy her lapse in memory.
"You knocked out the Miami Boss! You were probably tweeting that sh*t all day!" said Suied.
"Miami Boss? I don't even know who that is," responded Weisner.
"Huh? What!?!? You don't know who the Miami Boss is? I don't believe it! No way!" came back Suied. "Everyone knows the Miami Boss!"
"Miami Boss, eh?" said Weisner.
"You know it! In the building!" exclaimed Suied.
"Man, I wish I was at this table all day," finished Weisner with a laugh.

"We drinking?" asked Danny "Miami Boss" Suied to his table. "Another five minutes?" he continued, citing that the day was coming to a close.
The table got a chuckle, and Suied continued. "They say in the Harrah's commercials that they don't want you drinking while you gamble. That's some bullsh*t!"
"They don't say that," responded someone at the table.
"Yeah they do," snapped back Suied.
"No. They don't want you drunk," said the dealer to Suied.
"Who drinks and doesn't get drunk?" questioned Suied. "That's just dumb. You gotta drink to get wasted!"

We are about 10 off the bubble and 15-minutes from day 2 and as a result play is tightening up. Here is a perfect example:
Martin Staszko raised from middle position to 2,300. Both the small and big blinds called and we saw a 
flop. The players checked around and Eric Fields led for 5,100 on the 
turn. The big blind and Stazko both looked like they were thinking about it but in the end folded. And so it goes.
