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.
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.
On the flop, Youcef Zalagh fired 1,450 and Luisa Helps raised to 3,500. After a minute in the tank, Zalagh gave it up and Helps won the pot. She's up to 26,000 while Zalagh dropped to 7,200.
At the end of a hand we recently saw, Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin said to Daren Yoon, "Either I have you beat or you have me crushed," as she pondered a call.
Let's rewind back to the start of the hand though. Yoon was in the under the gun seat and he opened the action to 525 and received a call from the hijack, the button player and Lin in the small blind.
The flop saw Lin check and the Yoon lead out for 1,300. The hijack player folded and the button made the call, along with Lin.
The on the turn saw all three players check as the completed the board. Lin again checked and this time Yoon threw out 7,500. The player on the button thought for quite some time before letting it go, sending the play to Lin. Now we are back at the start of this post, with Lin thinking out loud, pondering the call.
When Lin eventually slid in enough chips to make the call, Yoon turned over . That was enough to send Lin's cards into the muck as she was apparently indeed crushed.
With 1,775 in the pot, the flop read between Michael Guzzardi and one opponent. Guzzardi checked the flop and his opponent bet 725. Guzzardi check-raised to 2,050 and that was good enough to take down the pot right there.
From under the gun, Darren Judges raised to 500. In middle position, a player three-bet to 2,000. Action folded back to Judges and he moved all in for 11,300. His opponent tanked for a couple of minutes and then mucked the face up. Judges didn't show.
