Several players have refused interviews with media because yesterday Shannon Shorr agreed to an interview with a few minutes left in a round and then busted before the end of the round and the scheduled interview.

Jacobo Fernandez is on a tear. He busted Ari Goott after both players flopped sets. Fernandez had Q-Q and Goot had J-J. They both tried to slow play each other. Fernandez shoved on the river and Goott called. Fernandez is up to 590K.

We lost 27 players during our first 90 minute level today.

This event will pay 54 places. See Prize Pool and Payouts on the right.

An unknown player (OK, he wishes to remain nameless) loses a pot to a runner, runner double belly buster straight. As he shoves his chips to the winning player:

"Thank you Sir, I needed that slap in the face to get myself going today. It's either that or claim I fathered Anna Nicole's kid."
