Lauson Loses Some
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Travis Lauson, who was one of the first players to cross the 200,000-chip threshold, has recently lost a quarter of his stack.
In one hand, Lauson opened to 2,500 from middle position, and was called by two players. The dealer fanned 
, and the action checked to Lauson who fired 7,000. A short-stacked player moved all in for 14,500, the third player folded, and Lauson quickly called.

A Lot of Gold at Table 30
Mark "Pegasus" Smith, who started the level with around 5,000 in chips, his climbed back to the starting stack of 20,000 chips. It may be half of the average stack, but Smith doesn't seem phased.
"You know how many chips I have?" he said to one of our bloggers, grinning. "Enough to win this damn thing."
Smith knows a lot about winning - he took down the 2006 $5,000 WSOPC Main Event in Tunica, and has added four more gold rings since. Kyle Cartwright is the only player in WSOPC history whose been able to win five events.
Also at the table is Nick Jivkov. Jivkov has two WSOPC rings after winning Event 9 last night, and took down Event 5 at the 2012 WSOP, pocketing $189,818 in the process.
