Pawlowski Freerolling Flight B

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Glenn Pawlowki bagged one of the biggest stacks on Day 1a, finishing with more than 240,000 in chips. We were surprised to see him back playing here on Day 1b, so we asked around and found out that Pawlowski had won two qualifiers to the Main Event. With a ticket already punched to Day 2 he's freerolling this flight.

Durante's Broadway No Good

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We walked over to Table 4 to see Jimmy Thomson sitting behind a bet of 2,900 with the board showing {10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The decision was on Dennis Durante and he called, bringing the {Q-Clubs} on the river. Durante fired 5,000 and Thomson called instantly. Durante showed {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for Broadway but it was second best to Thomson's {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush.

Durante was eliminated on the next hand and has re-entered for the second time.

Firing One Bullet in Re-Entry Tournaments

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Several of the players in today's field won their seat in a satellite and don't intend to re-enter this event. The same goes for many recreation players who wanted to fire one bullet and see what happens.

With the increased popularity of re-entry tourneys, it has become extremely important for new players and savvy veterans alike to consider the implications of a limited arsenal. Although playing a re-entry event on a single bullet is obviously less than optimal in terms of expected value, the reality of bankroll management will sometimes dictate that prudence wins out over power poker.

Jon Zaun penned an article for PokerNews Learn discussing the factors that should be considered when playing a re-entry event with limited cash reserves. How should you approach the tournament? Which players should you be targeting?
