Nine-Four Too Good For Levy
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
Right before the cards were dealt after the break, Grant Levy just came over to the media desk and relayed a pretty interesting hand to us.
Apparently Lefy raised it up to 750 preflop and one player called behind before another player shoved for over 12,000 - or over 60 big blinds. Levy made the call with 
and his opponent turned over 
.
An interesting shove indeed and when the board ran out 
, it got even more interesting as Levy went from dominating to needing a deuce to win. This is where the excitement stopped as a brick landed on the river. A tough hand for Levy, but he is now back in his seat and looks ready to keep on playing.

In Need of Food
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
There's been a good amount of rumblings coming from players in the event about the lack of food available to them. Many of the entrants are hungry and asking if and where they can get food. The options available to them are just the opposite, unavailable.
One player, Michael Guzzardi, has been asking a lot of his tablemates where he can get a quick bite to eat because he's starving. Outside of the deli/bakery upstairs, there's not much available to him or the other players in the tournament.
One man was walking around the tournament area with a 12-inch Subway sandwich. Many players asked the man where he got it from, but it wasn't from anywhere around here he said. Guzzardi's tablemate was the one the sandwich was for and the man dropped it off to him. Guzzardi was upset when he found out there wasn't a Subway nearby, but that frown was turned upside down when his tablemate offered him the second half of the sandwich. Guzzardi happily and thankfully accepted before stepping away from the table for a few moments to indulge in the Subway goodness. We've covered many events with Guzzardi and don't think we've ever seen him smile so large.
Two Thirds Too Much
When a player with just over 2,900 behind opened the pot to 1,000 preflop we thought that was interesting. The action was then on Julian Hasse and he raised it to 2,075. Hasse's opponent made the call, leaving himself 900 chips behind as the 
flop was dealt.
Both players checked and the 
turn was dealt. Hasse's opponent again checked and this time Hasse slid out a big stack of chips. Hasse's opponent then flicked his cards into the muck and left himself with a tiny, tiny stack.
