Hinkle Builds Steam

One of the quieter tables is in the back corner of the room. Isaac Haxton, Scott Fischman and Blair Hinkle are all seated there. Hinkle and Haxton just went to war, with Haxton paying off 6,250 chips on the river of a {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} {Q-Hearts} board. Haxton's {A-?} {Q-?} was no match for Hinkle's turned set of jacks.

That pot pushed Hinkle's count to 75,000. That's near the current lead.

So Long, Soheil

Soheil Shamseddin was one of the early chip leaders. Now he's one of the early eliminations. We don't know exactly what happened -- we only saw the result. Shamseddin's {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} was unable to overtake an opponent's {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} on a board of {9-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs}.

A player limped under the gun, former PokerNews employee Anthony Yeh limped the cutoff and then the button raised to 850. The player under the gun called as did Yeh.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades} and action checked around. The turn was the {2-Spades} and action checked around again. THe river completed the board with the {J-Diamonds} and the first player fired 2,000. Yeh raised to 5,600 and then the button folded. The first player made the call.

Yeh tabled the goods holding the {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and his opponent mucked. Yeh's up to 37,000 chips.

Dunst Gives It Up

With the board of {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} sitting in the middle, one player checked to Tony Dunst. Dunst fired 3,000 and then his opponent check-raised to 7,600. It looked painful to do so, but Dunst tossed his cards into the muck and gave up the pot.

Latest Arrivals

Dan Heimiller joined the tournament at the last break. He's seated at Justin Bonomo and Scott Seiver's table.

A few stragglers are coming in from a late-starting "last chance" satellite. Presumably, once they buy in registration will be closed officially.

Which Chip is Orange?

You be the judge. The betting line is yellow.
You be the judge. The betting line is yellow.
There's a raging debate going on in the back of the tournament room. It started at Scott Seiver's table, with Seiver and Justin Bonomo debating which of the 10,000 (pictured on the left) or 1,000 (right) chips was actually the "orange" chip. They couldn't come to a conclusion and decided to make a bet out of it, with Bonomo picking the impartial table that they would ask.

We don't know which side of the bet each player had. We do know that they chose Steve O'Dwyer and Darryl Fish's table, and that Bonomo won the bet.

The topic provided lively table chatter for four or five of the tables in the back of the room for a solid ten minutes.

Cards are back in the air, and late registration is over. We don't have an official count yet from the tournament staff but the big board says that 148 players are registered. That's bad news for those of you who had "over 160".
