The Addition of Day 1d Creates a Day 2b

There has been a little confusion among the players in this room, some of whom signed up for Day 1c before there was ever a Day 1d.

The original schedule showed three Day Ones but only one Day Two. Everyone who survived their first day would combine into a single field on Tuesday. (Monday was originally an off day.)

Now that there are four Day Ones, there will be two Day Twos. So everyone who survived Day 1a and Day 1b will play on Tuesday, just as expected. But then they'll have Wednesday off (if they survive Tuesday).

The end of the Main Event schedule is unchanged, and there will still be an off day before the final table. But here's a summary.

Tuesday - Day 2a - Survivors from Day 1a and 1b play.
Wednesday - Day 2b - Survivors from Day 1c and 2d play.
Thursday - Day 3 - Everyone plays.

If you're playing on Tuesday, you have Wednesday off, and vice versa.

Thater Drops to 18K

On a board showing {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Katja Thater led out with a 3,500 bet and was called by a single opponent. The {3-Spades} fell on the river and Thater bet another 3,500; her opponent called.

"Two pair," she said, as she turned over {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} (she'd been chasing the flush draw, but ended up with two pair). Her opponent showed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a higher two pair and took down the pot.

The hand left Katja with 18,000 in chips.

Shannon Shorr Loves the Ladies

Shannon Shorr
Action folded to Shannon Shorr in middle position who raised to 1,150. The player in the cutoff reraised to 3,000 and Shorr instantly moved all in for 6,150. The cutoff seat made the call. The players showed...

Shorr:{Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Shorr's pocket queens held up. He is now sitting on a chip stack of 13,250.

David Filippi's Fours

Board:
{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

On the flop, Filippi checks and a player in middle position bets 5,000. Fillipi raises all in for 30,000 more and the MP player calls. Fillipi has {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and his opponent has {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The turn gives Fillipi a full house and he's up to 56,000.
