We promise we're not just camped out at Table 23, they're just the only ones providing any action.
The board read 
when Tom "durrrr" Dwan led for 1,350 and a player in the cutoff raised to 4,000. Dwan shoved all in and the player in the cutoff folded.
"Nice bet," he said to Dwan.
Durrrr is steadily chipping up and is now at 29,500 chips.
Isaac Haxton opened to 950 from under the gun and the action folded all the way to Chad Batista who defended his big blind.
The flop fell 
and both players checked.
The turn brought the 
and Batista checked again. Haxton reached for chips and grabbed a yellow T1,000 chip before placing it down and checking behind.
The river was the 
and Batista checked a third time. Haxton quickly bet 1,600 and Batista made the call.
Haxton showed 
for broadway and Batista flashed 
before sending his hand into the muck.
Haxton is up to 13,600 now and Batista slipped down to 32,000

Table 5 sits right in front of our desk, and for the entire day they've had problems. The floor has been called over numerous times and there is periodic shouting and arguing coming from that general direction.
We haven't been able to detect what the issue is, but there are players at the table who have a serious problem with one another.
Unfortunately for them their table will never break and they will just have to learn to get along.
A player opened to 700 from early position and Michael Martin shoved for 4,175 more on the button. The action folded back to the original raiser who called with a monster - 
.
Martin opened 
and was a slight favorite until the flop fell 
. Martin couldn't improve on the turn (
) or the river (
) and was eliminated from the tournament.
There have been a few other eliminations recently including Marcel Luske and Owen Crowe.
The number 23 is sacred in basketball because it was worn by arguably the greatest player ever; Michael Jordan.
It is appropriate then that arguably our toughest table right now is Table 23.
Chad Batista was the first to sit there, and is one of our chipleaders, but now he is tablemates with Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Isaac Haxton.
The three have combined for almost $5,000,000 in live tournament earnings and we don't even want to begin to guess at how much the three have won online.
Tom "durrrr" Dwan opened to 700 and was called by one player at his table in the Pavilion Room.
The flop came jack-high and Dwan checked to his opponent who jammed for over 9,000 chips. Dwan folded and it is very apparent that his opponents do not want to play him in a pot.
They'd rather just get it in.
A player opened in early position and another player shoved from middle position for 2,075. Michael Glasser re-shoved having both players covered and the original raiser folded.
Showdown
Glasser: 
Middle Position: 
The board ran 
and Glasser's tens held eliminating his opponent and increasing his stack to 16,000 chips.
That one was apparently for you, Mrs. Glasser.
The tournament directors just announced that we will play eight and a half levels today mirroring the timeframe played in Day 1A.
This is done to ensure that the money bubble is reached in Day 2 rather than one of the Day 1's.
The cards are back in the air and will be for two and a half more levels!
