Chip Counts From Around the Room

Aaron Massey just stopped by our desk to inform us of some bad news.

"Bluffed it all off guys," he said.

He'll be back for Day 1b later tonight.

Jewell Doubles

All in for 10,725, Kurt Jewell has managed an early Level 4 double up. The final board read {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades} and Jewell's {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} bested his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

Ali Back in the Ring, Seeks Second Atlantic City Ring

A late position raise to 500 over at Table 25 earned three callers, including Brian Ali from the small blind. Ali is back here in Atlantic City looking to win another WSOP-C Main Event title after taking down the WSOP-C Atlantic City Caesars event last year.

All four players checked the monotone {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Then the turn brought the {4-Spades} and another round of checks.

The river was the {A-Diamonds}, and Ali fired a 1,000 into middle. It folded around to the original raiser who made it 2,000, and Ali called the raise. His opponent tabled {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for a Broadway straight, and Ali mucked.

More Late Arrivals

Field Growing

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

As we move through the third 40-minute level and approach the first break of the day, the connected ballrooms in which the tournament is playing out here on the third floor of Harrah's Resort Atlantic City are filling up.

Right now the big board is showing that 333 players have already bought in for Day 1a. Late registration actually lasts all of the way to the start of Level 10 (i.e., the start of Day 2), so that number will likely climb as the Day 1a flight continues throughout the afternoon.

Cernuto Looks For More Gold

Taking his seat during Level 3 is none other than "Miami" John Cernuto, fresh off wining his second ring last night. Cernuto topped a field 164 in Event 8: $365 Omaha Hi/Lo.

Big Slick Works for Schultz

We came on this hand involving Dean Schultz and a single opponent in which preflop betting had already built a pot of about 1,500 when the flop came {4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Playing from the big blind, Schultz checked, his opponent fired 1,100, and Schultz called. The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and another check-call from Schultz, this time for 3,100.

The river was the {J-Clubs}, and both players checked. Schultz flipped over his hand — {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} (top pair, top kicker) — and his opponent mucked.
