Not-So-Musical Chairs

[user38449]

Players are back from break, but have spent the last 10 minutes or so getting reorganized at their new tables in the Amazon Room. We should begin play shortly.

Tony G has brought to our attention a scenario in which he could possibly play three events at once tomorrow:

- He beat Sam Farha in Round 2 of the Heads-Up Championship, meaning he'll play one more match tonight. If he wins, he'll be back tomorrow for Day 2.

- He eliminated Yuebin Guo from the Seven Card Stud tournament just before the break and has run his chip stack up to 3,800 (he was down to 600 at one point in the tournament). Were he to make the final table tonight, play would continue tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. PDT.

- Finally, he plans to play in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha rebuy event tomorrow afternoon.

Though it might be a long shot, it's certainly not out of the question. Stay tuned for more on Tony G's Quest for Three.

30 Miles Rolled-Up for "Miami" John

[user38449]

Just before the break, "Miami" John Cernuto looked down at rolled-up tens, aka 30 miles, and was happy to get involved in a three-way pot with Allen Kessler and an unknown opponent.

Cernuto bet out on sixth street, which got rid of one opponent, but Allen Kessler hit a third king, which kept him in the hand. Unfortunately for him, Cernuto had made tens full, which would ultimately earn him the checkmark for the hand.

Afterwards, Kessler said to "Miami" John, "I knew I shouldn't have raised you!"

Cernuto is rolling at break with 8,700 chips.
