Toto Leonidas was showing 3-10-10-9 and decided to call down his opponent who held 5-10-Q-7. However at showdown his opponent revealed (A-6-8) 5-10-Q-7 for an 8-low which Leonidas couldn't better.

One of the advantages of registering late is that you will receive a full stack of chips.
One of the disadvantages is that you may be seated with other pros who have done the same!
The overflow tables in the blue section have some fiercely tough tables:
- Nenad Medic, Annie Duke, Jennifer Harman and Robert Mizrachi
- Freddy Deeb, Steve Zolotow and Jim McManus
- Hoyt Corkins, Todd Brunson and Tom Schneider
- Chad Brown, David Chiu and Nick Schulman
- Vanessa Rousso, Justin Bonomo and Joe Cassidy
We expect these tables to be amongst the first to be broken, but perhaps it pays to register early after all!

Last year, the $2,500 H.O.R.S.E. event was won by James Richburg. Walter Browne took second in the event. In today's event, both Richburg and Browne have started out at the same table over on table 7. Right now, Browne is doing the better out of the two with 11,800 in chips.

What can a pro do when their cell phone is running low on power? Apparantly, they swing by the PokerNews media booth. Right now, we have both David Levi's and Marco Traniello's phones charging on our power strip in our booth. Their phones would definately make for an interesting contact list.
Mickey Appleman is moving up the chip count leaderboard and now sits with 8,300 in chips after collecting a nice razz pot. Appleman showed (3-5-T) 2-4-7-K for a seven low to collect against an opponent with A-3-5-Q.

A new table was formed just before the break including Amnon Filippi, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, and Andy Black. Apparantly, Filippi registered before the beginning of the tournament, but did not arrive until just before the break. Black and Ferguson both registered late.
Ferguson and Black stated that since Filippi did not register late that he was not entitled to a full stack. The rules state that a player who registers late is entitled to a full stack, but one who registers as normal must be blinded out.
When play started on the table, the button started to the right of Filippi and he was in the small blind. Filippi was arguing that he could not receive a hand in the small blind and therefore should not have to give up any blinds.
A discussion was held between several floors and it was decided that 75 in chips would be taken out of Filippi's stack and put in 25 at a time in the next three pots.
