Slow and Steady

Play has slowed down since the rebuy period is over. Time to pick your hands carefully. No more crazy all-in, I can rebuy, plays. Some players that were in the Heads Up tournament are just now sitting down.

Level: 4

Dig Deep

We're on break and the players are making their final rebuys and add-ons. Players who are completely bust can do a double-rebuy AND take two add-ons, bringing their stacks back to 12,000. Which may help you understand why we haven't been able to closely follow the chip counts.

But once we're back from break and the players have to endure with only the chips in front of them, we'll be out there gathering chip counts.

Two Minute Warning

The players have two minutes left to rebuy, and then they'll have a chance to take their add-ons before they leave for break.

Mike Sexton Doubles Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After seeing a flop of K-K-3 Mike Sexton moved all-in and his opponent called. Sexton had A-K-Q-8 to outkick his opponent's K-Q-J-2. When a Jack hit on the turn it gave his opponent a full house...but the river brought an Ace that gave Sexton a bigger full house and the 16,000 pot.

Chip Counts

They say that the tournament really begins when the rebuy period ends, and that happens in 11 minutes. We'll go through the field and find out who the chip leaders are, but one player who's already amassed a big stack is Johnny Chan, who currently sits with 34,500.
