Adkins Crushing
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Five players saw the flop for 600 each and it came down 
. Everyone checked to the last player and he fired a bet of 1,000. The first two players folded, the third one called and then chip leader Hobart Adkins raised to 4,000. Both his remaining opponents folded and he won the pot. Adkins was kind enough to show and revealed the 
for a flopped two pair. He's up to about 88,000 now.

Stern Kicked Back Some, but Still Up
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
After a player in middle position raised to 525, Maria Stern called from the next seat. Action then folded to the player on the button and he reraised to 1,925. The blinds and the original raiser folded, but Stern wanted to see a flop.
The flop came down 
and Stern checked. Her opponent had position on her and stayed aggressive with a bet of 3,300. Stern gave it up and dropped back to 30,000. She's still up though as everyone began the day with 20,000 in chips.
Guillen Getting Low
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen is down to 5,150 from his starting stack of 20,000. On a flop of 
, one player checked and Guillen fired 700. The next player raised to 1,700 before the first player reraised all in for 14,025. Guillen tanked and tanked with 5,150 behind and eventually folded. The other player also folded.
Cautious Play
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
Maybe we've just caught a weird stretch of hands today, but a surprising number of players are not continuation-betting the flop. Leo Fernandez had a chance when he raised to 600 pre-flop and was called by fellow Team Pro Joao Nunes and the big blind. Instead, all three checked all the way to the river on a board of 
, where the big blind's bet of 2,500 took down the pot.
On the other side of the room, Team Pro Andre Akkari opened a pot to 600 from early position and was called by four(!) other players. On a dry flop of 
, action passed to the last player to act, who took down the pot with a single bet of 1,500.
Miller Folds the Turn
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
From middle position, Ori Miller raised to 475. His only caller came from the big blind and the flop came down 
. The big blind checked and Miller fired a continuation bet of 550. His opponent check-raised to 1,275 and Miller called.
Fourth street was the 
and the big blind bet 2,900. Miller thought for a minute or so and then finally gave it up. He dropped to 24,000 by giving up this pot.
Gomes Loses One
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
On the flop of 
, the first player bet 550 before Alexandre Gomes raised to 2,000. Two players then folded before action moved back to the original bettor. He made the call.
The 
fell on the turn and the first player bet into Gomes again for 550. Gomes just called this time to see the 
fall on the river. Both players checked.
Gomes mucked his hand after his opponent tabled the 
. He was knocked down to 15,500 in chips with this loss.
Record-Setting Field
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
We don't have an official tally of entrants yet, but the tournament clock is showing 536 players in today's field. Assuming that number holds, it will smash the LAPT record for biggest field (398), set at the Season 1 event in Costa Rica.
Mayrinck Slowly Building
Level 4
: 100/200, 25 ante
In between helping out bloggers, Maria Mayrinck is also playing some poker. She opened a recent pot with a pre-flop raise to 600 from middle position. Two players called: the button and the big blind. All three checked the jack-high flop, 
. The that fell on the turn was also checked through. Mayrinck finally snapped into action with a river 
. After the big blind checked, Mayrinck bet 950. Her bet induced a fold from the button. The big blind picked up a yellow (1,000) chip and looked to be pondering a call.
Mayrinck started chattering in Portuguese at her opponent. Whatever she said induced a call right into her 
, the nut straight. By collecting the pot, Mayrinck increased her count to about 27,000.
