Thanks Johnny!

[user38334]

Sympathetic to the long hours that players, floor staff, and media are putting in for the Series, Johnny Chan has just handed out a bunch of cans of his new "All In" energy drink.

It actually tastes great, with citrus tang, and will hopefully get us through to 2 a.m.!

Down To Six

[user38971]

After starting the day with 78 players, we are now down to just six tables. Each of the six tables are full of professional players and it will be very interesting to see how the night progresses.

Table 5 Feels At Home

[user38971]

Jeffrey Lisandro made it 7,000 to go and Sherkan Farnood moved all-in for 14,100 on top. Lisandro made the call and drew two, while Farnood stood pat. Farnood showed a 9-8-6-4-3 and Lisandro folded by tossing his hand onto the felt. Before the dealer could pick up the cards, Farnood leaned forward and tried to turn one over. Lisandro quickly objected and everyone at the table laughed at the attempt. "It's a home game," Freddy Deeb laughed.
