, she was all in with {7-Spades}

. Her opponent flopped a set of fours. She missed her straight flush draw and headed to the rail, as her opponent collected a bounty.

Anna Wroblewski's not too bummed out because she is among the fourteen players who advanced to Day 2 of Event #5. That event should be starting in about an hour or so.

Sports fan and tattoo aficionado Michael Vartan

Michael Vartan had one of the unluckier table draws today, as he is seated directly opposite Phil "The Unabomber" Laak. Laak has been chattering nonstop at his opponents since the cards went in the air (this reporter heard something about molecular particles on her last pass near this table). Nevertheless, Vartan has managed to amass one of the tournament's healthier stacks at this early stage, with 10,200 in chips in front of him.

Tony Hachem is Psychic

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Four players limped in and saw a flop of 6-4-3. The action was checked around. The turn was a deuce. Tony Hachem fired out 400 and got one caller. The river was a 5. Hachem checked, his opponent bet 500, and Hachem went into the tank.

"I bet you have sevens" said Tony as he agonized over his decision. Ultimately, he folded {A-Hearts}
