Lodden Thinks (Wrong)

[user80015]

With around 10,000 in the pot, Johnny Lodden mulled over a decision for sometime before firing out 7,100 at the {7-Hearts}

board.

His opponent made the call and Lodden's cards went flying into the muck as his opponent raked in the pot while flashing his {7-Clubs}

to see Lodden slip to 18,400 in chips.

Salley Rallies

[user46392]

An excellent recovery for John Salley, who's now up to 39,000 after picking up a nice pot with {9-Clubs}

on a

board. His opponent mucked, and Salley is up to 39,000.

, we heard another cry of "all in and a call" over at Table #6. Comedian and actor Marlon Wayans, who'd chipped up to about 36,000 in during the course of this first level, had his opponent covered.

Wayans tabled his {Q-Hearts}

and his opponent turned over {5-Hearts}

. Not sure how it worked out that five-deuce got to see that flop, but there we were.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}

and the river the {10-Spades}

, and Wayans tumbles back to 16,500.

"I will shake your hand -- that was the worst beat of my life," said Wayans, still shaking his head. The ESPN cameras were there to capture the moment. "Tell the camera you're a donkey," said Wayans to his conqueror.

"I'm a donkey, I'm a donkey," he conceded.

"Tell them you're the worst player ever," added Wayans.

"No, no," his opponent countered with a grin. "The worst is yet to come!"

Klinging to a Dream

[user67765]

One player who has caught our attention today is Lauren Kling. After a deep run in the ladies event, followed by another cash a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event, Kling has the marketing potential to grab a lot more attention with a deep run at the Main Event.

Unfortunately her day is off to a rocky start after we recently spotted her in a big multi-way pot. After being check-raised on the turn, Kling tanked before calling a 2,500-chip bet on the river on a {A-Hearts}

board. Her opponent revealed a slow-played {A-Spades}

as Kling flashed the {7-Diamonds}

and mucked. Kling slips to 27,000.

Arieh Leads The Pack

[user67765]

Josh Arieh would be very close to our chip leader at the first break in play after a series of big hands and big pots went his way in the final minutes of play in that level.

Arieh fired 1,200 on the flop, called 1,500 on the turn before raising a bet of 4,000 to 11,000 on the river on a board of {J-Spades}

. His opponent made the call and Arieh collected the pot with his {A-Spades}

.

A few moments late Arieh was happy to check-call on all three streets on a board of {10-Spades}

. Arieh tabled {K-Spades}

to rake in another big pot.

Arieh is up to 78,000 chips at the first break.

Scary Movie 2

Shamus

Marlon Wayans just had another run-in with the same opponent who'd recently cracked his pocket queens with the mighty five-deuce. In this one, Wayans' opponent raised to 450, and Wayans had called from the button. "Round Two!" said Wayans.

The flop came {10-Hearts}

, and both checked. The turn was the {7-Clubs}

. This time Wayans' opponent bet 1,350, Wayans raised to 4,000, and got the call.

The river was the {3-Hearts}

. This time Wayans' foe checked, and Wayans bet 6,000. This was turning into a potentially scary situation for Wayans, but after a short think his opponent folded. Wayans chips back to 24,000 on that one.
