Lucas Using the Force

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Robert Lucas is one of the early leaders here in Event #1. According to tablemate Cameron Bartolotta, Lucas won a huge pot in Level 2 after calling a five-bet preflop with pocket tens. Then on a {4-}{3-}{2-} flop he moved all in and was called by pocket aces, but Lucas drilled a ten on the river to cross the 50,000 chip mark. He's now sitting with around 47,000.

Rebuy!

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

We've already seen a handful of players return to the cage to reenter this event, including Travell Thomas, Hoss Colao and Alex Rivera. "This is why I hate rebuys," Thomas told the cashier.

Break! Last Chance to Dance

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Level 6 has come to a close, meaning players have around 15 minutes during the break to register for Event #1. We just saw D.J. MacKinnon, Mark Roberts and Andy Spears take advantage of the late registration.

We'll be back in 15 minutes after the T25-denomination chips are removed from the tournament.

Nablo Arrives

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jason Nablo was among the last players to sneak into Event #1 before registration ended. Nablo, who was one of our Players to Watch in the Western New York Poker Challenge in April, took down Event #1 of last year's Summer Slam series for nearly $7,000. He also finished second in Event #2 on the very next day for $5,211.
