Floor!

Razz:

Victor Ramdin was involved in a hand on seventh street just now where his opponent's hole card was dealt face up. The floor was called and the ruling was made that the card could not be changed and Ramdin was not required to expose his seventh-street card.

Ramdin bet out and his opponent called and he showed a seven-six low to win the hand.

Williams Takes One From McEvoy

Razz:

Tom McEvoy completed showing a 7 and David Williams called with a 10.

On 5th street McEvoy caught an 8 and fired again, with Williams making the call with a deuce.

On 6th Williams hit an ace and took the lead in the hand, as McEvoy mumbled under his breath and folded after pairing his 8.

Williams flipped a 4-6 in the hole to take down a nice early pot.

We're Overflowing!

[user67765]
Originally we started with chips on only seven of the eight seats on each table, but since the start of play the eight seat has been quickly filled by late arrivals. We've now filled the orange quadrant of tables here in the Amazon Room and we're overflowing into the blue section with new tables starting up.

It could be a bigger field than expected!

Benyamine Sits With Bricks of Cash

David Benyamine has lost about 800 chips on the first Holdem hand of the day. He flashed the {8-Spades} on a board of {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} for the straight but his opponent flipped over {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} for the rivered full house.

Benyamine currently has about $60,000 in cash in front of him which are his winnings from the final table of the $5,000 No Limit 2-7 Draw event which he was recently eliminated from. The bricks are just sitting on the table - perhaps he's trying to intimidate some of his inexperienced opponents?

Today's Format

[user67765]
[user67765]
Players will rotate through each game every eight hands, regardless of the betting limits. Of course the five games are hold'em, Omaha hi-lo, razz, stud and stud eight or better.

Each player started with 6,000 in chips.

More Names...

David Benyamine, Alexander Kostritsyn, Ted Forrest, Blair Rodman, Katja Thater, David Sklansky, Linda Johnson, Perry Friedman, Marco Traniello and Jean-Robert Bellande have all taken their seats in today's HORSE event.

Today's Lineup

[user67765]
[user67765]
We expect today's field to contain quite a number of professionals as this is the first H.O.R.S.E. event of this year's WSOP. So far today we've spotted the likes of Mike Sexton, Allen Kessler, Andy Bloch, Greg Raymer, Berry Johnston, David Williams, Chris Reslock, Phil Gordon, Dewey Tomko and Kenna James.

We have a lot more names that have pre-registered but have yet to take their seats. Nearly every table is starting with at least one empty stack.

Allen Kessler Seeking Advice

[user42991]
[user42991]
Allen Kessler just stopped by the press booth asking, likely in jest, for advice for today's event. One person yelled out, "Just win!" I personally recommended to not play a rolled-up set in razz.

Players continue to file in. We should be started shortly.
