When we arrived at the table, we saw that recent ring winner Mike Souza had isolated a short stack all in, and when the two players flipped their cards, Souza saw he was in great shape to collect a bounty.
Souza:
Opponent:
The flop brought little help to Souza's opponent, coming . Souza would need to fade runner runner, and he wasn't able to dodge the first card, as the hit the turn. The river was a scary looking card at first, but the was safe at the end for Souza.
Casey Stewart just sat down at a new table, and on the first hand he was dealt, he knocked out an opponent. Stewart was in the big blind, and the action was on him after a raise to 1,600 and two callers. Stewart cut out a three bet of 4,725, and tossed it into the middle.
Only the original raiser came along for the ride, and the flop came . Stewart thought for about 15 seconds before moving all in, and his opponent, who was covered, quickly made the call.

We didn't catch the action in the hand, but we saw that Christina Lindley was getting up and collecting her things as we walked by her table. We did see that her opponent held and that the board read queen high, with that queen coming on the river.
Lindley will have the chance to come back tomorrow and re-enter in the Day 1b flight.
With about 3,000 in the middle, and the flop reading , Madsen led out for 2,300, and his lone opponent in the hand called. Both players checked when the hit the turn, and the came on the river. Madsen's opponent bet out 4,000, and Madsen called after about 30 seconds of thought.
Madsen's opponent rolled over for a rivered pair of queens, and Madsen's rolled his eyes, mucked his cards, and put his hands up to the sky for a moment in disbelief. Despite the loss, Madsen is still very much on the plus side, sitting with 44,000.
