We just noticed Dutch Boyd in this growing field, and we walked up as he was involved in a small pot. Boyd had called a raise before the flop, and a third player called all in for less. Boyd made an isolating bet on the {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} flop, and he showed {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} . The at-risk player was well in front with {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} , and he made quads on the {8-Hearts} river to double up.

Boyd is sitting with 5,325 at this first update.

Cada Can Catch

[user66118]

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

The player under the gun raised to 425 to open the pot, and Joe Cada made the call to go heads-up to the flop.

It came {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} , and the raiser continued out with 1,025 chips. Cada raised it up to 2,500, the bettor shoved, and Cada made the call for the rest of his own chips. He was still on the draw, turning up {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} . His opponent's {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} was in front for the time being, but that didn't last long.

The {A-Clubs} dropped right on fourth street, and a blank on the river secured Cada's double to about 15,000.

You probably noticed in the last chip update, but this field has gotten a whole lot less funny. Brad Garrett came. He saw. He was conquered.

Sabat Shaves Phan

[user66118]

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Four levels into the day, we're still finding players for the first time today. We just stumbled on Eddy Sabat as he was opening a pot to 300. John "The Razor" Phan defended his big blind, and both players checked through the {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} flop. The turn came the {4-Spades} , and Sabat made a delayed continuation bet of 500. Phan called, and the {K-Spades} filled out the board. When Phan checked a third time, Sabat took his cue to make one last bet of 1,150. Phan tanked for a good while before calling.
