The Day 1b Event #1 players are now on their first 15-minute break of the night. There are plenty of familiar faces in the field including former November Niner Patrick Chan, David Jackson, Joey Galazzo and Niko Platis.

Day 1b tournament registration and re-entry will remain open until the start of Level 13 or approximately 12:45 p.m. so there's still plenty of time to get in on the action.

Abilia Announces a Full House

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Barry Leventhal opened for 800 under the gun and the player on the button called. Ariel Abilia came along from the small blind and the trio took a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Two checks saw the button bet 1,300, Abilia called, and Leventhal got out of the way to make it heads-up action to the {8-Spades} turn.

The third spade prompted Abilia to lead out for 2,500 but he couldn't shake his opponent on the button, who called to see the {7-Clubs} river.

Abilia bet again, this time 6,600, and his opponent thought long and hard before making the call.

"Full house," Abilia said and tabled the {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a rivered sevens full of tens. His opponent just shook his head and sent his cards to the muck.

Cohen Takes It on the Turn

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Five players each committed 700 preflop and saw a flop of {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}. A player in middle position bet 900 and all but one of his opponents, including Jesse Cohen, made the call.

After the dealer burned and turned the {7-Diamonds}, three checks put action on Cohen and he fired out 2,700.

That did the trick as one by one his three opponents folded their hands.

One for Lewis

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The player in the hijack opened for 700 and Patton Lewis, who fired and fell on the Day 1a flight, defended his big blind to see a {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Lewis checked, the hijack continued for 1,600, and Lewis check-raised the minimum to 3,200. His opponent called and the both players checked the {q-Clubs} turn as well as the {9-Spades} river.

Lewis tabled the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a pair of jacks and it was good as his opponent sent his hand to the muck.
