Seidel Slips Out

Erik Seidel moved all in on a board reading {3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and was called by Tony Cascarino.

Seidel tabled {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Cascarino showed {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flush to take the pot and bust Seidel.

Scott Stacked

Stewart Scott put all his chips in the middle preflop against Florian Grund.

Scott: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Grund: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The board rolled out {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Scott's dreams of a repeat were sent to the rail. As he was walking by the desk here, we heard him tell Grant Levy, "There's always next year."

Nelson Surviving

A short-stacked Lee Nelson is hanging on as he's just doubled up once again. It was a battle of the blinds, with Nelson taking {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} into battle against his opponent's {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

The board fell {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Nelson gets back to 9,500.

Seidel Slides

On a board reading {9-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Erik Seidel check-called Annette Obrestad's 6,000 bet on the river.

Obrestad tabled {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Seidel mucked his hand. Obrestad raked in the chips to put her around 50,000 and Seidel's stack has dwindled to 9,500.

Huntly a Non-Believer

Catching the action on a flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}, play checked to Dennis Huntly on the button who fired 1,150. His opponent in the small blind check-raised to 3,200 and Huntly made the call.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {2-Spades} brick on the river.

The small blind led out with a healthy bet of 6,800 to send Huntly into the tank for a long time. Huntly fired a few verbals but received no reaction. Eventually Huntly tossed out a call but wasn't pleased to see his opponent table {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Huntly flashed the {4-Clubs} and mucked as he slips to 28,000.

The Siren Sounds For Krantz

Jay Rosenkrantz has been eliminated in a huge clash with Van Marcus.

Marcus recalled to us the details. It was a multi-way flop of {A-?}{9-?}{6-?} that sparked the action with Rosenkrantz holding top two pair but Marcus had spiked a set of sixes in the big blind.

The turn was a {2-?} and Marcus improved to quads with another {6-?} on the river.

Marcus is up to around 70,000 to be amongst the chip leaders heading into the dinner break.

Levy Breaks

Grant Levy is down to 12,300 in chips after he called an all in bet from his opponent preflop and didn't hit.

His opponent, holding {7-Spades}{6-Spades} flopped two pair when the board came down {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Levy's {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} didn't catch up on the {9-Spades} turn and {5-Hearts} river.

MarGETS Chips

Preflop from under the gun, Leo Margets made it 800 to go and was called by one opponent.

The flop came down {3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Margets made it 2,000 and got a call.

Margets check-called 3,700 on the {2-Clubs} turn.

The river {10-Clubs} was checked by both players.

Margets turned over {A-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for the winning hand and is now sitting on 39,000 chips.

By the Numbers

Players are packing it in.
Players are packing it in.
Now that our technological issues are (knock on wood) behind us, we're able to let you know that there were 243 total runners for Day 1b of the Main Event -- a 10 player increase over yesterday's field.

What this means, amongst other things, is that in order to surpass last year's main event numbers (681), tournament organizers need only 205 players to turn out for tomorrow's Day 1c flight (the third and final start day).

Due to the nature of tournaments with multiple starting days, we'll go out on a limb and say that the odds are in Crown's favor.
