The Man in the Hat

Nicolas Levi
Nicolas Levi
Nicolas Levi of France is the clear chip leader.

He picked up a huge pot in the dying minutes of the last level and is now on a stack of 100,300.

Play Has Ended for Today

Johnny Lodden

We've been asked to leave the tournament area as players begin to bag up their chips.

One notable casualty on the final hand was Johnny Lodden (right), who was all in preflop with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} versus {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} and didn't improve.

Either Chris Moneymaker or the Spaniard, Daniel Mangas, looks to be chip leader, both on between 70,000 and 80,000.

We will have complete chip counts for you as soon as possible.

Day 1a Completed

Vos Makes a Nice Bet

Mark Vos is amassing an extremely big stack size-wise, although it is lacking some degree of quality, as it made up almost entirely of the lowest denomination chips. Vos has just made a nice bet to steal a pot from Michael Greco.

Vos raised to 1,600 and Greco called.

Flop came:

{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Both players checked.

Turn:

{J-Clubs}

Both players checked.

River came:

{K-Clubs}

Vos fired out 2,500 and Greco thought for some time and then folded. A grinning Vos then flashed:

{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Moneymaker Over 30,000

Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker continues his revival.

Moneymaker raises 1,700 from early position and is reraised by Ricardo Pintodesousa, who makes it 4,800. It's folded around to Moneymaker, who quickly moves all in and has Pintodesousa well-covered. Pintodesousa goes into the tank and takes so long that a clock is eventually called.

Moneymaker looks supremely comfortable during the countdown, as his opponent takes the full minute to fold and is left to nurse a 7,000 small stack.

Ola Brandborn Oversteps the Mark

Ola Brandborn
Ola Brandborn
He made it 2,000 from first position and was called by seat 3, as well as by Andreas Hoivold, who was in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and everyone checked.

Turn was the {9-Diamonds}, and Brandborn led for 4,000, which was called by seat 3. Hoivold got out of the way.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Brandborn fired out 11,000.

He was called and then mucked his hand in disgust. The other player was forced to show his hand even though he was the only one with cards, which incredibly was {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

What a Player

Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman got involved in a pot with a PokerStars qualifier.

He called a bet on a {6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop, and then bet out 4,000 into an 8,000 pot when the {6-Hearts} came on the turn. He was called.

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked.

Barny, who was first to show his cards, did so reluctantly with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut straight, and then said, "Oh f***!" -- not realizing the strength of his hand.
