JP Kelly's In The House

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With the World Series of Poker getting ready to begin, we were a little surprised to see JP Kelly taking his seat. We overhead him say he's been playing cash. He wasn't going to play in the event, until he found out the field has over 50 players. With two WSOP bracelets and over $2 million in live earnings, Kelly is certain to do well today.

Peter Chan from Day 3 of The APPT Main Event

Straight of his 30th place in The Main Event, Peter Chan took his seat in The High Roller. Unfortunately he didn't fare as well here. He was all in with {a-}{q-} against the {a-}{k-} of Marius Torgbergsen and couldn't find any help.

Plenty of Gamble

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

There is plenty of gamble out there. We came up to table 3 with a player in early position betting 30,000 and Yingui Li going all in with a flop of {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} on the board. The early position player made the call with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} leaving him only about 13,000 behind.

Li showed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for a flopped set. The board kept the set ahead and Li doubled up.

Wong's Gone

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

We didn't catch all the preflop betting action but we did see a bet of 7,200 in front of Nick Wong, a call from Devan Tang, a raise of 22,500 in front of Chen Wang and the action on Allan Bedwick.

Bedwick made the call and the action was back on Wong who moved all in. Tang folded and Wang moved all in and had Wong covered. Bedwick folded, albeit reluctantly and the hands were tabled.

Wong: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Wang: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Wang found his ace on the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop and Wong couldn't catch up when the board ran out with a {10-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river. It was an early day for Wong and Wang now sitting on close to 200,000

The Field Is Growing

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

The tournament now has five tables and 48 players, well above the 30 players that were in last year's field. The tournament director just announced they are getting ready to open a 6th table. Here are the names of a few more players to take their seat.
