Peters Loses a Small One

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

David Peters raised from the button pre-flop, and only the big blind called. Both players checked the flop of {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. When the {a-Spades} fell on the turn, the big blind checked again, but this time Peters bet out 400. His opponent called, and then both players checked {9-Clubs} river. The big blind showed {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a rivered full house, and Peters mucked.

Lichtenberger Wins 4-Way Pot

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 400 pre-flop, and he got three callers from the button, the small blind, and the big blind. On a {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, all players checked. The turn was the {3-Spades}. Both blinds checked, and Lichtenberger bet out 800. The button called, but both blinds folded. Lichtenberger kept up the betting on the river, leading out for another 1,600 when the dealer turned over the {Q-Hearts}. His lone remaining opponent thought for about a minute before folding, and Lichtenberger took the pot.

A Change of Plans

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We're playing only 8 levels instead of the 9 levels which were on the schedule for today. Flight 1B is so big that the entire Amazon Room is full and all tables available in Pavilion are also occupied by 1B players.

See You Guys in an Hour

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

Some of the people that have registered for 1B are being told that there isn't enough room yet, so they'll be start playing at the beginning of the second level of the day. The first level has only just started so they have to hoover around for a bit and check back in an hour or so. This tournament is getting really really big now.

Hellmuth Exits

Level 6 : 100/200, 25 ante

We arrived at the table on the turn, with the board showing {5-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Phil Hellmuth and the player to his immediate right were the only players in the hand. Hellmuth checked, and his opponent bet 950 into a pot of over 2,000. Hellmuth elected to call. The river was the {2-Hearts}, and Hellmuth again checked. This time his opponent bet 2,000, enough to put Hellmuth all-in. The 1989 Main Event winner thought for about a minute before pushing his chips forward. His opponent showed {a-}{q-}, and Hellmuth was eliminated.
