Negreanu Multi-Tabling

[user46392]

Daniel Negreanu seems to have been playing three tournaments in here today, and seeing as he just busted from the Razz, he's now gracing the O8 with his presence. He's just come in and is munching on a mozzarella and tomato salad at Mike Matusow's table. Hope that's vegan mozzarella, young man!

They're Still Pouring In

[user46392]

To be honest, who can blame them? These are long days and the action is fairly, if you'll pardon the pun, limited in the early stages of this kind of tournament.

Recently arrived:

- Shannon Shorr
- Dutch Boyd
- Katja Thater
- Jimmy Fricke

Rock Out With Your Croc Out

[user46392]

Billy "The Croc" Argyros has just arrived -- and hilariously and appropriately he's sat down next to our friend Mike "Gator Man" Longo. We're hoping to see some hot croc-on-gator action any minute now.

In the meantime, though, he got himself involved with another player at the table on a {J-Hearts}

board. Argyros turned over {5-Hearts}

for the low, while his opponent took the high with {J-Diamonds}

.

Maridu Up

[user46392]

Maridu Mayrinck is up to 9,500 after calling a bet from the small blind on a {J-Diamonds}

board, the big blind calling too.

All three players checked the {2-Clubs}

river, and Maridu's {A-Spades}

was good to take the lot -- both her opponents just mucked.

Kravchenko Quartered

[user46392]

Alex Kravchenko had a fairly good start, but just now dropped a little after making it to the river of a {6-Diamonds}

board in a three-way hand and discovering that he was only getting a quarter of the pot, his {2-Spades}

low chopping with another player holding {2-Clubs}

, and the third player took the high with {A-Diamonds}

.

Kravchenko's on 8,000 right now.

Graham Crackered

[user46392]

Matt Graham dropped a few chips at the start of the day and is now perched on around 6,000.

No help from this chopped pot, though. He bet to a check from his opponent on the river of a {3-Diamonds}

board and his opponent called.

Graham: {A-Spades}

Mr. Opponent: {4-Hearts}
