New Name for "Aces Full"

David Levi noticed that a dealer at his table was wearing a nametag that said: Takaaki. From then on, instead of calling the dealer by name, he referred to him as "aces full of kings."

He also said that any time he made aces full of kings in the future, he'd call it a "Takaaki."

Clock Controversy

For whatever reason, the tournament clock in the Players Pavilion was a few minutes off from the clock in the Amazon Room. In order to alleviate the situation, the tournament staff added the difference in time to the clock in the Players Pavilion so that they matched up.

As players began to notice the adjustment to the clock, many called for the floor; some angry, some confused, but all just looking for an explanation. One player was overheard suggesting to his table that they simply not play the remaining minutes in the level, implying that they'd already played the alotted amount.

The situation has since been resolved and the clocks are now back in sync.

Facts and Figures

There were a total of 730 players who ponied up the $1,000 buy-in for today's tournament, creating a prize pool of $664,300.

72 places will be paid: First place will receive $157,975 while 72nd will earn $1,528.

"Maniac" at Zeidman's Table

One of our reporters has spotted a player who has played the last three hands absolutely blind, raising and reraising on every street. He's playing at the same table as Cory Zeidman, who seems to be encouraging the wild play and has even played a few hands blind himself.

The maniac's reasoning? "I just want to get out of here," he said.
