Approaching 100

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

In order to reach the $50,000 guarantee for Event #5 there would need to be an average of 84 entries for each of the six starting flights. Tournament staffers told us they were expecting around 80 for this morning's flight, and that number has easily been surpassed with 10 minutes still left on the clock. We're at 98 and counting right now.

Level: 8

Blinds: 400/800

Ante: 100

Break #2

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

It's time for another break while the T25-denomination chips are removed from play. We'll be back in 15.

Bartolotta, Demmerley Dusted

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Cam Bartolotta told us he ran queens into kings on his way out of the tournament area. Anthony Guggino and Art Demmerley were also eliminated during this level. Re-entry is still open for another 55 minutes so we'll see if they take advantage.

Sweet Turn for Szewczyk

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Seven limpers went to a flop of {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and action checked to the player in Seat 8. He bet 3,000, Justin Szewczyk responded by moving all, and the player in Seat 4 reshoved. The rest of the table folded and the cards were tabled.

Szewczyk: {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Seat 4: {5-Spades}{2-Spades}

Szewczyk was drawing thin but he hit gin on the {10-Hearts} turn. He improved even further when the {8-Clubs} completed the board, giving him tens full of eights for the win.
