Man Down

Amidst all of the rebuy madness, we've just witnessed the first casualty of the day. Joe Cabret was the executioner and won the pot with a full house, sevens full of fives, to move to 14,500 on the day.

We overheard many of today's competitors talking before the start of today's tournament about how many 'bullets' they'd brought with them to play with and we heard everything from two to 70! It's becoming an issue of machismo to see who can notch the most rebuys. One thing's for sure -- the players are enjoying themselves out there!
