Set For Tilly

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With about 6,000 in the pot and the board reading {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Jennifer Tilly bet 4,000 from the big blind and her UTG+1 opponent called to see the {8-Hearts} turn. Both checked, the {3-Spades} river completed the board, and Tilly fired 7,000.

Her opponent quickly called, but mucked when Tilly tabled {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for a set.

Mizzi and Vos Clash

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Picking up the action after the turn of a {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} board with roughly 10,000 in the pot, Pascal Vos checked from the small blind and Sorel Mizzi bet 6,300 from the cutoff. Vos tanked for a bit before check-raising all in for roughly 22,000. Mizzi gave it some thought, but ultimately folded.

The following hand, both committed 2,725 preflop to see the flop fall {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Mizzi bet 2,800, Vos called, and both checked the {4-Spades} turn. The {A-Spades} river completed the board and Mizzi bet 5,050. Vos called after a few moments, but mucked when Mizzi tabled {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Mandavia Out

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Ankush Mandavia could very well have been the first elimination of the day after he was just eliminated by Yong Wang right before the close of the first level of the tournament.

With approximately 30,000 in chips already in the middle, the final board read {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Wang bet the last of his chips, which had Mandavia slightly covered. Mandavia made the call holding the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for top pair, but it was Wang's {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for the heart flush that proved to be the best hand. Yang won the pot, while Mandavia headed to the rail after a very short 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event.

Gilbert Arenas

Poker tournaments attract all types of people — professional grinders, amateur players, celebrities, and athletes. One such athlete that is making the dive into this massive $10,000,000 guaranteed PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event is former NBA star Gilbert Arenas.

A three-time NBA All-Star, the 32-year-old "Agent Zero" has no known tournament results, but that doesn't mean he isn't familiar with the game. It is very well known that many NBA players (along with most other athletes) love to play poker, especially while on the road with their teammates. Arenas, though, was reportedly involved in a confrontation with former teammate Jarvaris Crittendon about a poker game, and then allegedly brought multiple guns into the team's locker room.

In January 2010, the NBA suspended Arenas indefinitely for the remainder of the season. He was then traded from the Washington Wizards the following season to the Orlando Magic. After his stint with the Magic, Arenas joined the Memphis Grizzlies and played with them for one season. He then signed with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association in November 2012.

Just last month, Arenas told TMZ that he was going to change his plans for retirement and instead train to get back into the NBA.

Only time will tell if Arenas will be able to make any noise in this event, but he definitely doesn't look like he's a newbie to the game. He handles his chips well and can be seen paying good attention to the action at his table. We'll keep you posted as to how he proceeds as the day moves on.
