Following a button raise, Tim Reilly called from the small blind then Aaron Massey three-bet to 1,625 from the big blind. When both of his opponents called, Massey responded with mock incredulity.
"You called my squeeze?" he said. By way of explanation, Reilly responded that they figured Massey was running good and thus reraising loosely.
Indeed, Massey has had a good couple of days, having last night won his second WSOP Circuit ring overall by taking down Event #8, the $580 NLHE Six-Handed event. That win pushed Massey into the top spot currently in the Casino Champion race here at Foxwoods, with one of those in the chase pack tied for second — the winner of Event #1 ($365 NLHE Re-entry) Zachary Donovan --actually seated at Massey's table.
The flop came 
, and when checked to Massey bet 2,250 with the button calling and Reilly getting out. The turn then brought the 
. This time Massey checked, and when his opponent fired 5,000 Massey let his hand go.
Table conversation then turned to discussing that Casino Champion race. Massey likely has a spot in the season-ending WSOP National Championship locked up thanks to the points he's accumulated thus far in 2012-13, but he still would like to earn the automatic seat that comes with being a Casino Champion.
"I want to win it and free up an at-large spot for the country," Massey joked as the table discussed the topic, getting chuckles all around.
Meanwhile, Reilly unfortunately busted soon thereafter, although he may still return for tonight's Day 1b.

Three levels are in the books and we've already lost a couple notables. Unfortunately we didn't catch their elimination hands, but we can confirm that Micah Raskin and Bobby Corcione have busted. Chance are they'll be back from the second flight, which starts at 5 p.m. EST.
In the meantime, poker fans will have the chance to see how both Kurt Jewell and Kevin Calenzo fare here on Day 1a. Both have recently entered the field and are looking to follow up their recent success. Calenzo is coming off a sixth-place finish in the Wynn's recent $ 5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship Event for $43,672, while Jewell just missed out on his record-tying sixth World Series of Poker Circuit ring when he finished runner-up to Aditya Prasetyo in Event #7 $365 NLHE here at Foxwoods. Despite not taking home a ring, Jewell boosted his bankroll by $13,369.

Arkadiy Tsinis had a decent first two hours, chipping up from his starting stack to close to 30,000 to start Level 4.
Tsinis is here today looking to add a second WSOP-C Foxwoods ring to his collection after having taken down Event #6, a $580 buy-in no-limit hold'em event. That was the latest score in a long list of WSOP and WSOP-C cashes for the Las Vegas-based player that now total nearly $750,000.
A couple of other final tablists from that event are among the late Day 1a arrivals as well — Jamie Kerstetter (6th) and Travell Thomas (7th).
Here's how the payouts went at that final table earlier this week.

Chris Tryba is poker garb of choice is traditionally a comfortable pair of pants, a plain white t-shirt, and a baseball cap that looks like it's been run through a wood chipper and left out in the rain. We admire the consistency, but you take a certain amount of risks when you choose to wear a white tee—something Tryba experienced firsthand.

Really hate when i stain a brand new white tee with coffee @FoxwoodsPoker @WSOPC #itcontinues #shitsexpensive #gettinoldApril 06 2013Follow

We were just watching a three-way hand involving 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event champion John Dibella. As the hand played out between the trio, three other players not involved in the hand — including 2004 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer — were engaged in an animated discussion about the popular HBO series Game of Thrones.
Playing from the blinds, Dibella led for 400 following a 
flop and both of his opponents called. The turn then brought the 
.
"Check... check... Khaleesi... check..." went the conversation, the words criss-crossing like so many swords.
The river was the 
. Dibella checked again, then watched as his middle-position opponent bet 1,100 and the third player called the bet. "Worst river card," said Dibella, folding his 
face up. The river-bettor then showed 
for a straight, and the other player mucked.
"Actually a jack would have been worse," cracked Dibella as the next hand — and more talk of wars and kingdoms — proceeded.
