Today's Schedule
Small Pots Along the Rail
but Phan was undeterred and called. Sombero check-folded to a bet of 8,000 from Phan on the 
turn.One table away, Tom Hall was the preflop raiser to 3,000. He was called in two spots, including by an early position limper. That limper bet out half-pot on a flop of
and took down the pot, with Hall showing a reluctance to get involved.Finally, in the center of the room it was David Chiu who raised to 2,800. He was called by both blinds, including big blind Eric Assadourian. Those players checked to Chiu on an all-Broadway flop of
. Chiu's bet of 7,500 quickly folded the small blind. Assadourian studied his opponent a few moments."You're very nervous," said Assadourian. Then he smiled and pitched in his cards. Chiu responded by visibly over-shaking his hands and arms.
Tran Tripping
and a heap of chips already in the middle.Holding
, Theo Tran slid a sizeable stack of chips into the middle -- a bet big enough to put opponent Mark Cornwall all in (16,600). After spending some time in the tank, Cornwall suddenly announced, "I call" and turned over 
.Cornwall secured the double up when the
finished out the board, allowing his aces to hold.After the hand, Tran was left with just under 50,000 in chips while Cornwall improved to 77,000.

After Wu paid off the required chips, his count fell to about 38,000.
Phan Had a Feeling
Phan's shorter-stacked opponent had won the hand by making a Broadway straight, 
. It was the table-talk that got our ear."As soon as he told me he had a jack, one hits right away," Young Phan told the table, motioning to Tony Hachem on his left.
"Sorry mate," Hachem replied.
"Why don't you cover me so I can go home?" Phan then asked his opponent with a smile and a laugh. There was some muted discussion of the merits of the hand, with Phan adding, "It's a good call when I win and a bad, stupid call when I lose. Right dealer?"
Phan has 25,000 chips.
Gold, No Sense and Myhre
We recently ventured over to see what all the fuss was about. Apparently one player in particular had been "going all in like crazy". The players at the table pointed to the now empty chair which we believe previously belonged to Farmhn Khaligh.
In a massive clash with overnight chip leader Kristoffer Myhre, Khaligh had shoved all in preflop with an above-average
with Myhre making the call with .The board bricked out and Myhre was left to rake in the chips. He's now way out in front with 230,000 chips as the table was in hysterics at the demise of Kahligh.
"You're such an a**hole!" laughed the table, directed towards Myhre now that he had taken all of the chips and the other players had missed out on their share of the goodies!
Grunter Gone
In a raised pot, Levy was holding
and check-raised all in on an 
board.He found action in an opponent with a better kicker, and once the turn and river fell, Levy was unable to improve and headed to the rail.
Chips and an Empty Chair?
As it turned out, Vartog never actually showed and the last of his chips were blinded off moments ago, making him the 176th place finisher. Not a bad performance for an empty chair... outlasting more than half the field and reaching Day 2.
"He made no mistakes," joked Tournament Director Danny McDonagh, albeit with one major exception.
