Gavin Wants Jesus in His Life

The tournament staff just informed Gavin Smith's table that they'd be filling one of their empty seats with the big blind from table 40. Upon hearing this, Gavin Smith took a look at table 40, and had this to say:

"I hope the big blind is Chris Ferguson. I'll take that weak-tight, long-haired, son of a b**** any day of the week."

After noticing the tournament staff breaking only the second table of the day, Dan Shak said, "Man, they're dropping like flies. That's 16 down and it's only been 7 hours."

Todd Bruson Survives an All-in

Todd moved all-in for his last 625 before the flop, holding {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. He was called by Nikki Frangos who showed pocket deuces.

Brunson hit a flush on the turn, which put him at 1,800 chips. He's still alive, but fighting for his tournament life.

Speaking of Table 40 . . .

One of our reporters happened to be in the neighborhood of table 40, and noticed that all of the kings in the deck had been dealt as door cards.

"This hand is going to be so sick," said Robert Williamson III.

A player showing the {2-Spades} completed the bet to 200 and everyone folded to him.

Someone then asked, "you at least had something, right?" To which the winner responded, "nope, just bluffing," as he proceeded to turn over 2-5-10.

Jesus Walks from One Tough Table to Another

[user22113]
[user22113]
Table 37, arguably the toughest starting table in the field (Juanda, Brunson, Ferguson, Edler), just broke.

Ferguson was moved to table 40, which is occupied by both Annie Duke and Robert Williamson III. The high buy-in and sheer difficulty of this event has attracted the cream of the crop, so there probably won't be any "easy" tables all weekend.

We've counted just 7 empty seats in the tournament area; once one more player is eliminated, our first table of the day will be broken.
