Red Raises Up

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

With tables and empty seats quickly filling up across the Blue and Silver sections here in Brasilia, the last open tables in Silver are slowly getting filled.

Consequently, tables in the Red section are now being set-up for play, and we expect to see players heading that way soon.

Panitch Fills Up on River

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante
Robert Panitch
Robert Panitch

Catching the action with the board reading {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Robert "Uncle Krunk" Panitch was all in and had one player covered while a third player gave them action having Panitch covered by just a few chips.

Panitch: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Shorter Stack: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Third Player: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

With Panitch needing to fade a heart while improving to a bigger straight or full house to stay alive, the river brought the {Q-Spades} to ensure he improved, virtually tripling his stack to over 46,000 while eliminating one player and leaving the other crippled to just a few big blinds.

Where We All Sitting?

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Although last year saw 400 entries in this event, so far the tournament is spread amongst two sections of the Brasilia Room; the Blue and Silver section.

With only those two sections currently having players and empty tables with chip stacks ready to go - it means that the tournament is set to cater for just under 250 players.

However with registration open till the start of level seven; approximately 8:10 p.m., the tournament is most definitely expected to swell into contention with rivaling last year's entrant number.

Play Underway

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

The cards are now in the air for Event #42!

The plan today is to play ten 60-minute levels with a 90-minute dinner break coming after level six.

Level: 1

Blinds: 25/50

Ante: 0
