One of the high-powered light bulbs just exploded on the far side of the tournament room where the ladies event is taking place. It made a huge popping sound that made just about everybody jump from their seats.
No one was hurt and it prompted a few chuckles from players.
Bradley Lipsey opened for 4,200 from the cutoff and the button and the big blind called. The flop came and all players checked. The turn came and all three players checked again. The river came , the big blind checked, Lipsey bet 6,300 and both players folded.
The numbers are in, the prizepool has been counted and the field knows what they're playing for. The top 45 finishers will cash with a min-cash worth $2,746.
A final table appearance guarantees $12,636 and first place will walk away with $133,648.
