Top Dogs

The two players that have emerged with large stacks are Giorgio Medici and Jeff Zigulis.

Medici told us that he was sitting with just 16,000 shortly before the dinner break. What's more is that he was involved in a hand in which he three-bet with {a-}{j-} preflop before {k-}{k-} and {a-}{a-} to forced him to fold his hand. The case ace found its way to the flop of an otherwise dry board and that would have likely cost him even more chips. Quite a turn of fortunes for Medici.

Clements Gone, "Bakes" Too

Scott Clements got his final 16,000 chips all in preflop holding {k-Spades}{3-Spades} after he shoved from the button and was called by the big blind. He was up against {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and found no help on the {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} board.

Following him out of the poker room was David "Bakes" Baker. However, there is a good chance we will see both of them tomorrow.

O'Brien Busts Two

As we came to Dan O'Brien's table, we saw that he was collecting a pot while busting two players. O'Brien told us after the hand that all of the money got in preflop.

O'Brien: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Opponent 1: {a-}{10-}
Opponent 2: {a-}{7-}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-}, and O'Brien claimed two short stack bounties. Despite the win, O'Brien has taken a hit to his stack, as he is under 50,000.

Top Two No Good For Carroll

We picked up the action on a {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop with a pot that was at least 9,000-chips. James Carroll led for 4,700 but was raised to 11,300. After some thought Carroll raised the action again to 21,700. His opponent moved all in for just over 60,000 total and Carroll made the call.

Carroll: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The turn and river were no help to Carroll who was crippled despite his hot start.
