Break Number One

We've got three levels in the books for this Main Event, and the enormous field has been herded back out the double doors like a swarm of cattle. The first break is here, and this one's going to be a bit extended. We'll be away for 30 minutes, during which time the staff is going to try and clear the registration line and finalize the list of runners, which stands at 850 going into the break.

Back in a bit.

Nuts for Devonshire

Bryan Devonshire
Bryan Devonshire

Action was checked by one player to Bryan Devonshire on the board of {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Devonshire fired a bet of 1,025 and after a minute of thought, his opponent made the call.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} and the first player checked. Devonshire fired a bet of 2,625. Another minute went by as the player sat in the tank before deciding to call Devonshire's bet. Devonshire announced the nuts and tabled the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a broadway straight. His opponent tossed his hand in face down and Devonshire was awarded the pot to push his stack to about 29,000.

Brikis Stacking 'Em Early

One of our PokerNews bloggers is Josh Brikis and he's out in the field today. Brikis came a bit late to the event, but was welcomed with a nice gift in the form of an opponent's entire stack just shortly after he sat down.

According to Brikis, he raised under the gun with two sixes and the big blind made the call. After a flop of {A-}{9-}{6-}, the big blind bet, Brikis raised, the big blind reraised, Brikis jammed and the big blind called. What did he have? Well, the old {A-}{9-} for top two pair against the set of sixes for Brikis. The board bricked out from there and Brikis won the pot, moving his stack to a nice 40,000 in chips.

Let Me Twitter That

Want an idea of how big this event is? Just look at our Twitter Tracker:

Adam "Roothlus" Levy: The line to reg for the tourney is at least 40 minutes long, around 300 ppl deep. Gonna eat some breakfast and hope the line dies down.

Dave Sands: Just got to Hammond. The line to reg is 150 deep min. Never seen anything like it. In line at 12:20, doubt I get regged before 1:30.

Josh Brikis: Over 800 players. Table 35...looks good..let's go

Small Fields for the Birds

A sea of players
A sea of players

Don't worry about a shortage of numbers here in Hammond, but the tournament staff may need to worry about a shortage of tables for all the players. At last check, the board read 740 entrants. We wandered outside into the hallway where registration is located and the line is still about 125 people deep and doesn't look to be getting any shorter.

There are talks swirling of hitting 900, far above the original goal of 700 that the tournament staff wished to reach. To us, 900 looks like it will be easily obtainable given the amount of people currently in line. They're still filing in from outside and some small talk of alternates is in the air. Alternates or not, this event is massive!
