Here's Another Hit, Barry Bronze

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The Bronze section of the Brasilia room has been completely broken and tables are now playing nine handed. The field has been whittled down to the final 440 players as of now.

Cajelais Continues

We found Erik Cajelais and one opponent see a flop of {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Cajelais' opponent bet 1,700 and Cajelais dipped into his massive stack. When he came out, however, it was just with enough chips to call.

Fourth street brought the {6-Hearts} and after about a minute, Cajelais' opponent checked. Cajelais picked up a handful of yellow T1,000 chips and dropped them into the middle of the table. This bet was enough to cover his opponent, and realizing this, his opponent mucked his hand.

Cajelais' aggression is paying off as he is currently sitting as one of if not the biggest stack in the room with 117,000.

Dan the Man

Immediately after finding the large stack of Cherish Andrews, we found 1995 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Dan Harrington take a seat at the same table.

After Harrington sat down a player opened with a raise to 1,700. It folded to Harrington's blind and he sat motionless for a moment before acting.

"I'm gonna raise," remarked Harrington before he threw out 4,500. His opponent quickly mucked his hand and Harrington made his presence known at the table.

Color Up and Break

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Players are now on their final 20-minute break of the evening. The green T25 chips are also being colored up and raced off at this time. See you in twenty!

A Weis Choice

We found Melanie Weisner move her short stack all in before the flop and was called by her opponent.

Weisner: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

"I'll take it!" said Weisner as the dealer pounded the table.

A flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} fell and Weisner jumped into the lead. She retained the lead through the {5-Diamonds} turn and the {8-Clubs} river. Weisner is now sitting on about 14,000.
