Pump Up The Volume

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The floor was called to a table where on a four heart, double paired board, a player had announced that he was all in and threw out a 5,000 chip. His opponent, wearing headphones, threw out a 5,000 chip as well not realizing that the other player was all in. He tabled the ace high flush but it was no good as his opponent had a full house with his pocket eights.

The player with the flush tried to dispute the all in call but the floor ruled that since the player announced his intention and the dealer repeated it that the call was an all in call not just a call of the 5,000. That was enough to eliminate the player and perhaps give him a very hard earned lesson on not "pumping up the volume."

Aaron Massey Trying Again (and Again)

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With a flop of {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Aaron Massey bet 900 after two players checked to him and they both called. All three would check the {Q-Clubs} turn. On the {Q-Hearts} river, the second player bet 750, Massey quickly called, and the third player let his hand go. Massey's opponent turned over {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a busted draw and Massey took the pot down with {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to move his stack to 29,000.

Massey told us how he was on his fifth bullet and relayed how he had busted on his fourth bullet earlier this morning. "I had {K-Hearts}{K-} and opened and the small blind called. When I had sat down at the table, a player had told me this guy was a maniac. Flop comes {K-}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and I bet 500, he raises to 1,100 and I called. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and I check-called an 8,000 bet. The river was the {5-Hearts} and this guy Hollywoods and slaps the table to check. I bet 6,000, he moves all in, I snap. He has {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}."

Despite that setback, Massey seems to be in a good mood playing the game he loves.

Ho Loses Small One

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We got to the table with a flop of {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Maria Ho made a bet of 800 after her opponent checked. He made the call and the two would both check the {6-Hearts} turn.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and Ho's opponent led out for 1,500 and she made the call. He tabled {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a ten high straight and Ho flashed an ace before handing her cards to the dealer.

Bazeley Off to a Good Start

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We missed the pre-flop action but it appeared to be a raised pot between Jacob Bazeley and another player with a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Bazeley called a 2,000 bet from his opponent and would call another bet of 5,000 on the {2-Spades} turn. The river was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked.

"Ace King," said Bazeley's foe, mucking his hand after Bazeley turned over {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Guarantee Met

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With 335 entrants thus far in today's flight, that brings the total number of entrants up to 1,156 which means the guarantee for the tournament has been easily surpassed. There is still slightly more than two hours left to register so a three million dollar prize pool is easily within reach.
