Late Registration Has Concluded

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

With the late registration period coming to a close with the beginning of this level, there are sure to be a few new faces hidden among the field, and as soon as we complete a lap around the Brasilia Room, we'll let you know who has thrown their hat into the ring.

Lubarsky Loses Some

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

On a board of {6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Hal Lubarsky bet out, and then called when his opponent put out a raise.

When the {2-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Lubarsky check-called a bet, but he mucked when his assistant informed him that his opponent tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Not an Ace, but "On the River" Works Just Fine for Barry G

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante
Barry Greenstein
Barry Greenstein

After a raise to 500 before the flop, Barry Greenstein called, as did another player for a three-way flop of {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The initial raiser led out for a bet, and Greenstein fired out a raise to fold the third player. The bettor flatted, however, and the turn came {7-Diamonds}.

After a check to him, Greenstein fired away with another bet on fourth street, and once again his opponent came along.

On the {k-Clubs} river the action repeated, and Greenstein rolled over the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the winner. His frustrated opponent winced when he saw the bad news, and flashed an {A-} while angrily mucking his hand. Despite this win, Greenstein is still short-stacked, and he will need to keep making moves if he hopes to advance to the second day of play.

Death Rattle

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

We missed the action, but noticed David Williams' seat was empty while Laz Hernandez was busily stacking a pile of chips.

Apparently, the short-stacked Williams got his last few bets in with {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, but Hernandez managed to make a straight with his {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to bust the dangerous pro.

No Thanksgiving for this Pilgrim

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

After making quads earlier in the day to win a big pot, Dwyte Pilgrim appeared to be on the verge of a successful Day 1 run, but unfortunately one of the most well-liked grinders on the tournament circuit was eliminated sometime after the last dinner break.

I Said "Hot Sandwiches!"

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Chris Tryba (Seen Here in an Earlier WSOP Event) Just Doesn't Like Sandwiches
Chris Tryba (Seen Here in an Earlier WSOP Event) Just Doesn't Like Sandwiches

After losing yet another hand to Mark Klecan, apparently after having his top set cracked for the third time tonight, bracelet winner Chris Tryba let loose with a tirade for the ages.

"Cracked my top set three times today!," Tryba roared, loud enough for the entire Brasilia Room to take notice. "I'm being served c--k sandwiches here!"

With this bold declaration gaining the attention of players, railbirds, and tournament officials alike, Tryba soon found himself embroiled in conflict he had not anticipated. The floor quickly arrived to usher Tryba out of the tournament area, and he was assessed a brief penalty for his misconduct.

"What is this, a church?," Tryba asked, his hands shooting up to the heavens as the words spilled forth. "I said hot sandwiches anyway!"

After a discussion with Tryba's tablemates, who magnanimously agreed that his words bore no ill intent, Tryba was allowed to return to the table, and he began the tireless task of nursing his short stack back to health.

Hellmuth in the House

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante
Phil Hellmuth (Seen Here in Earlier WSOP Play) Has Finally Arrived
Phil Hellmuth (Seen Here in Earlier WSOP Play) Has Finally Arrived

With all of the commotion generated by Chris Tryba's questionable culinary choices, the original "Poker Brat" made a stealthy entrance to the tournament floor.

Phil Hellmuth has taken his seat, and with an astounding 99 World Series of Poker cashes to his credit, he is hoping to make this Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event the scene for a historic finish.

If Hellmuth is able to navigate the minefield and secure a spot in the payouts list, his 100th cash would mark the first time a player has cracked the century mark in terms of in-the-money finishes.

We will be sure to track Hellmuth's progress as Day 1 moves towards its conclusion.
