Rosario - She'll be back at 2pm tomorrow tooDay One Concludes
That's it for the night - with 10 minutes still on the clock the chip baggies made their first appearance at the $2,500 Omaha/Stud Hi-Lo 8-or-better. For want of a more accurate set of counts, I will pronounce Shirley Rosario as contender at least for chip lead and suggest you rejoin me tomorrow at 2pm should you wish to continue following this thrilling WSOP mixed-game adventure.

Comeback of the Day
This has to go to Chad Brown. Early rumours of his retiring were substantiated by his chip stack just kind of sitting there without him for quite a while earlier. But suffering or not, Mr. Brown has returned and built his chip stack up to 34k and that's some achievement.

Alioto: Still in but down to 6,300Darios Suffering in Level 8
No, I didn't miss an apostrophe - table mates Dario Alioto and Dario Minieri both had a bad level. First off Alioto gave up a 15k pot to a river bet on a
board (he was small blind vs. big blind and I wish I knew how such a pot grew).
But Dario Minieri's in much worse shape - in fact he's out, having reached the Red Alert of under 3k.
Just prior to his busting (in fact I think it was the hand before) he did win a few chips, getting it all in preflop in Omaha hi-low with
in the small blind vs. utg's 
.
"Low cards!" commanded Minieri.
"High cards!" came the reply.
Flop:
(One got their wish)
Turn:
River:
"You got there," laughed his opponent as Minieri took his half of the pot. -

Jon Turner: Hefty 31kCernut-out!
And just like that - he's gone.
His exit hand was a Stud 8-or-better one, and I have only two details - one, that he was eliminated in a double bustout to Jon Turner, and two, his hand ended up as (in no particular order)
vs. Turner's

Cernuto Lets His Boots Go
And not in the way that I've had the same sneakers for three years...
Heads up with Justin Young, John Cernuto bet a 
flop, which Young check-called. The same thing happened on the 
turn. However, on the river, Young switched to betting out. After a short while, Cernuto mucked his hand face up - 
no good...?
He's in the danger zone now with just 3k. -

Todd Brunson (picture from HORSE) would understandTodd Brunson Straightens Low Into Scoop
Big blind Todd Brunson bet out all the way (not sure about the flop, actually) until the board read
. Diamond-heavy or not, his bet on the river secured him both halves of the pot as his turned out to be good.
It occurs to me sometimes that poker terminology might be well-nigh incomprehensible to the casual reader. I apologise if there are any of those at the minute - the title of this post is a case in point. It looks like what came out when we put the Dutch Pokernews through babelfish... -

Three Times the Charm?
Allen Kessler is no more. After lingering about as shortstacked as it is possible to be for a whole level, he got it all in three times - once in Stud and twice preflop in Omaha. This being a hi-low split game, he won at least half of the first two pots, but the final time his
failed to hit against . The most vocal participant on a table which includes Dario Minieri thus exits the tournament area.
