For all looking to play, the daily 10 a.m. $80 MSPT Regional satellite event will still run at its regularly scheduled time; however, a change has been made to the structure in order to accommodate for the large turnout expected at noon. Instead of the normal 20-minute levels, each level will last 10 minutes until the tournament has played down to its appropriate number of players. The tournament will also be an "Ironman" event, meaning there will be no breaks due to the expected short runtime.

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to Coleman Hughes in the small blind and he open-jammed for the big blind's effective short stack. A call was made.

All-In Player: {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Coleman Hughes: {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Hughes' king-high was best and remained there through the runout {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts} came to send the short-stacked player to the rail.

Al-Hadwan's Wish Is Granted

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ryan Hopp opened to 8,000 and Samir Al-Hadwan re-jammed for 28,000 in the small blind. Hopp called.

Samir Al-Hadwan: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Ryan Hopp: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

"Don't put an ace out there, please," requested Al-Hadwan. The flop {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} was safe, as was the turn {7-Clubs}.

"Seven?" said Hopp with a smile. Request denied: the river came {k-Clubs} and Al-Hadwan shipped the dub.

After spinning up a stack of 8,000 to more than a quarter-million before the dinner break, Tan Hoang has increased his stack by another 200K at his new table.

Hoang took another player's stack after the player was in the cutoff and three-bet an open from middle position. Hoang cold-called in the small blind and stacks eventually got in on a {j-}{7-}{x-} flop.

Tan Hoang: {j-}{j-}
Opponent: {7-}{7-}

Hoang's set-over-set pot has propelled him to over 450K with a little over an hour of play remaining in the day, making him the clear chip leader at this point in the tournament.
