Play Ends for the Night
Day One of Event 13 wraps up with about 180 players remaining out of 1,088 that entered the tournament. Phil Ivey is still in contention to claim back to back bracelets, ending the night with a healthy stack of 63,000. However, several players were able to eclipse the 100,000 mark to climb to the top of the leader board. A full chip count and seating list will be posted later tonight.
With 117 players to make the money, the bubble should be reached within the first few hours of play tomorrow. A finish in the money will guarantee a payday of $4,929, but players looking past a min-cash will have a $506,786 first place goal in mind.

Steaming After a Bad Laydown
On a board of
and with about 30,000 in the pot the big blind leads out for 12,000 and Nikolay Evdakov calls from under the gun.
Action moves to the player on the cut off who goes into the tank. For more than four full minutes it appears as if the decision is causing him in physical pain. Finally, a player at the table calls the clock.
With the added pressure of the floor staff counting down in his ear he lays down
face up on the table.
The big blind shows pocket eights while Evdakov tables
for tens and sixes.
The player that had the clock called on him storms out of the room, upset at his laydown. The rest of the table shares a laugh at his expense as play moves on. -
