Over on one of the perimeter tables, Carter King has been the most talkative player in the room. As we've been pacing back and forth past his table, we've caught bits and pieces of his poker-centric conversation.
"...aggro. His three-bet percentage is like..."
"...called off like 100 bigs with..."
"...made a straight on the turn, but the river..."
"...his numbers have to be higher than any other reg..."
"...played with him once or twice, but he doesn't..."
Nobody else at the table was really doing much talking as king bantered in machine-gun style.
From the adjacent table, Jon Aguiar leaned back in his chair and yelled, "Carter... Shut up!" Smiles all around.
We just caught the tail end of the pot, joining the action as the river card came out on the 
board. There was just over 10,000 in the pot, and David Miscikowski over-shoved for 20,700 total. That put Ari "BodogAri" Engel to the decision for most of his own chips, and he spent some time considering before announcing the call.
Miscikowski tabled 
for the flush, and Engel couldn't beat it. He slipped his cards into the muck, leaving himself with just about 1,000 lonely chips.
Engel was relieved of that small remainder just a couple hands later.
After a player under the gun raised, Jonathan Aguiar reraised from the next seat to 700. Dana Kellstrom called from the next seat, Cary Katz called from the next seat after that and then action folded back to the under-the-gun player. He also made the call.
The flop came down 
with 2,950 in the pot. The under-the-gun player bet 1,600 and Aguiar raised to 4,100. That knocked out Kellstrom and Katz before action fell back to the first player. He called.
The turn was the and action was checked to Aguiar. He bet 6,000. His opponent made the call.
The river completed the board with the 
and Aguiar bet 10,000 after his opponent checked. The player tanked for a bit with 18,325 behind. Eventually, he made the call. Aguiar tabled the 
for a pair of aces. His opponent tabled the 
for two pair on the flop. Aguiar's hand went down and he was left with 8,250 in chips.
After the hand, Kellstrom said he folded two kings and Katz said he folded two queens.
We walked up the to the of a board that showed 
, arriving just in time to see Dwyte Pilgrim betting 1,000 into a pot of about twice that. He was heads up, and his lone opponent called to see the 
land on the river. Now it was Pilgrim's opponent leading out into the pot for 5,600. He was instantly called.
Forced to show first, the bettor tabled the promising-but-ultimately-empty 
, and Pilgrim's earned him a healthy pot.
Dwyte is up to 52,000 here in the early going.
After some back-and-forth action preflop, the flop came down 
between Denise Molloy and Steve O'Dwyer. Molloy moved all in on the flop for 23,000 and O'Dwyer made the call.
Molloy: 
O'Dwyer: 
The turn and river blanked and Molloy doubled up. O'Dwyer was knocked down to 1,500 in chips.
From under the gun, Kyle Carlston raised to 300. Jonathan Aguiar made the call from the next seat, Dana Kellstrom called after that and then action fell on Cary Katz. He reraised to 1,500 and Carlston called when action got back to him. Aguiar and Kellstrom folded.
The flop came down 
and Carlston checked. Katz fired 1,500 and Carlston folded.
