Our Reporters Are a Bit Eager

One of our keener field reporters has spotted a dealer wearing a name tag that says "NORMAN" and another dealer wearing a tag that says "CHAD." Negotiations are currently underway to get them to stand either side of Norman Chad so we can take a photo.

We See Seagle

He escaped the eagle eyes of our field reporters for a little while, but Las Vegas resident and serial WSOP and WPT casher Mickey Seagle is another of our players today. Currently he's sitting on a comfortable 8,500, although for some reason he told our reporter that he was on 16,000. Naughty.

Gray Skies for Traniello

As an avid online player who currently tops the rankings of a certain online site, one might wonder why Craig "MrCasino" Gray isn't called "MrLaptop," but either way, he's playing live today, and doing rather well -- his latest scalp being Jennifer Harman's other half, Marco Traniello.

All in preflop, Traniello found himself in search of a miracle with {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} versus the dominant {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} of Gray, but that miracle failed to arrive as the board came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} to leave Traniello reaching for his coat, and Gray the chips.

Time for a Kit-Kat

And on that note, the players have left the Amazon Room for a thirty minute break. This is around the time where I ask myself why I didn't go the toilet beforehand - the queues will be longer than Mr Tickle's arms now!

Fun and Games at Table Griffin

"Hello, Kristen"
"Hello, Kristen"
Gavin Griffin has just over 12,000, recently winning a small pot betting 200 with {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} showing versus {K-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Gavin's opponent quickly folded, allowing the triple-crown winner to reveal {4-Hearts}{6-Spades} in the hole for the low draw.

Gavin's table seems to be getting on like a house on fire, with laughs and smiles aplenty. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder if they're even playing this event, or dibble-dabbling in a $10 STT instead.

Let's Give A Big Hand To Kessler

Allen Kessler has just won what is probably the biggest pot of the tournament so far. With {3-Spades} {4-Spades} {6-Spades} in the hole and {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades} up, Kessler made both a flush and a six low, bagging himself a 12,000 pot. He's jumped up to 13,500.

Meanwhile, short for much of today, Kevin Saul has busted out in circumstances unknown.
