Levi Breaks One
One of the few female players in our Day 1a field opened with a raise to 1,000 from middle position, and it folded around to Nicolas Levi on the button who made it 3,000. The blinds got out, the original raiser pushed all in for her last 9,000 or so, and Levi quickly called.
Levi tabled 
and had his opponent in bad shape with her 
. The community cards came 
, and Levi collected the chips, improving to about 55,000.
That makes 24 eliminations thus far today, leaving us with 113 players from our starting field of 137 still fighting to make Day 2.
