Big Hands; Little Results

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Cameron Bartolotta was all ready to bag a stack north of 120,000, until he started picking up big hands.

He ran queens into kings, aces into {4-}{5-} flopping trips and picked up queens again, running into a set this time.

He lost half his stack in the process and is now on the grind again.

It's All Happening

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Things are moving along at a rather brisk pace in this morning flight, so fast, in fact, it could have a major impact on the rest of the event.

They will play a full 15 levels today, or until they reach the point where just 12 percent of the field remains. Registration and re-entry is still open, but the board currently shows 129 entries, 12 per cent of which would be 16 players.

Right now there are only 25 players left, meaning they need lose only nine more and play would stop.

How this impacts the rest of the event lies in the plan for Day 2, which is to start at the earliest stopping point for all of the Day 1 flights.

Right now that sits at half way through Level 14, set on Day 1a. But a much earlier mark than that would be set if the pace keeps up today.

She's Got It

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Hamilton, Ontario, Canada's Kali Zurek certainly came to play today.

She hadn't even finished stacking the chips from her last pot win when she put one short stack all in.

It was a battle of the blinds and he called it off with {a-}{7-} only to find Zurek on the dominating {a-}{10-}. She avoided all trouble to scoop yet another pot, collect yet another soul and is closing in on 100,000.

Bartolotta Beats Caldwell

Emmett Caldwell just gave Cameron Bartolotta a full double up after getting him all in with top pair on a ten-high flop.

Bartolotta had kings, they held and he now holds the chip lead as the first player past the 100,000-chip mark.

Yong Wolfer just jumped up the leaderboard busting two players in the process.

He got it in with {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} against fours and queens, flopped two pair and faded all danger.
