Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

All ten tables that began play in the pavillion are still there and play seems to be rather slow, with the exception of that of John Phan's. John has been playing the role of table captain, betting relentlessly on every street. He is at the same table with Steve Sung, and the two of them are initiating all the action.

Gabe Thaler Trying to Donk Off His Chips

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Gabe has built his stack up to 4,200, but not the way you would assume. He was overheard saying, "I have a game to be at at 9:30 and I'm trying to donk off my chips, but I keep making hands. I'd hate to be the chip leader if I have to leave in an hour."

Signs of Our First Bustouts

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

As the blinds and antes go up, so does the size of the average pot. As a result, we are slowly starting to see players walk away from the tournament area. In 4 minutes, the blinds will go up again and we should see an increased number of eliminations throughout the next level.
