The decision is made to play eight levels today instead of nine. With 15 minutes to go in this level, that means there is 90 minutes of play left on day 1 with a 15 minute break in between.

'This is Sick'

Three players see a flop of {K-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. A player bets 800 and Terry Garner goes all in. Cory Albertson folds. Garner's opponent cackles. "Now we're playing poker. This is sick. This is sick."
The call is 27,500 for a total of 28,300. Garner puts his head down in his arms. "Going to sleep on me?" his opponent says. "What do you want me to do? Whatever you say, I'll do it."
"I don't care," Garner says.
His opponent eventually folds.
Despite this win, Garner goes out a short time later when his {J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} runs into his opponent's {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} on a board of {10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

Last Break

Phil Gordon stops by the media table. "I have 200,000. I don't even know what to do when I have this many chips. This is the most chips I've ever had before in my life."

This is the last break. The final level today will be 600/1200 with a 200 ante.

Rachel Bonura Hits on River

Rachel Bonura, another of the four women remaining out of 90, hits the boat on the river when her {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} goes up against her black-hatted opponent's {A-Spades}{2-Spades}. The flop is {J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Spades} when the players move in and the remaining cards are {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Twelve minutes left in the day.
