Everybody's Movin', Everybody's Groovin'

We are down to ten tables or so. Most are at heads-up, but a few still have four or five players. The staff has relocated everyone down to the other side of the Amazon Room. Which means a couple of things . . .

The table numbers we've been referring to will all change here as the remaining players sit down in a new section.

Our reporters are going to have to do extra running back and forth, as the distance between the tables and our workstation has increased considerably. They're young and energetic, though, so we should be okay.

Phil Tom Moves On

Preflop, Cort Kibler-Melby limped in on the button. Phil Tom raised to 2,000. Kibler-Melby re-raised all in for 13,000. Tom called with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} versus the {8-Spades}{6-Spades} of Kibler-Melby. The board was {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Tom moves on to Round 2.
