Slow News Day

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Alicia LaPorte Pachla

It's a slow news day with the board still reading under 40 entries.

They were playing The Ladyboy game at Table 5 for a while. The rules: Pick up any {a-}{4-}, win the hand, and Cameron Bartolotta was promising to pay out double the pot in cold, hard, Canadian bad beat jackpot cash.

Unfortunately, only he was to only one able to show it down. Alicia LaPorte Pachla picked it up in the big blind once, and as with every {a-}{4-}, she had to take a closer look to avoid mistaking it for aces. In the end, she saw the Adam's apple, but was unable to win the pot and pick up the bonus.

The game ended with John Abraham slow rolling Bartolotta for the last of his dwindling stack. Bartolotta shoved {a-}{q-} for peanuts and and Abraham took his sweet time calling with the king-high from the big blind.

Abraham hit, Bartolotta missed, left disappointed, and The Ladyboy bank was closed.

A Little From Here, A Little From There

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Brian Bowen
Brian Bowen

It's been a little of this and a little of that for Seneca tourney standout Brian Bowen so far today. Taking a little from here and a little from there, he's managed to double his stack in the early levels.

The highlights included picking up jacks and allowing overzealous Canadian Cameron Bartolotta to bluff off some chips with ace high.

Of course, these two have some history from the final table of the 2016 Seneca Fall Poker Classic Main Event, so even though there were overcards on the board, Bowen could see Bartolotta coming from a mile away.

Trieu Player For Real

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Kim Long Trieu
Kim Long Trieu

Kim Long Trieu didn't get all of Brad Becker's chips when he made trip aces. However, he did get most of them, including getting a 3,200 value bet on the river paid.

Becker dusted off the rest soon after and hit the cage to reenter as Trieu ascended into the very early chip lead.

Monday Morning

As expected, this flight starts slowly with just 23 entries on the board so far. It is, after all, a Monday morning.

There are a few recognizable regulars are in the mix already and little doubt more are on the way.
