Phil Hellmuth Loses A Big Pot

After the player in the cutoff popped it to 300, it was folded to Phil Hellmuth in the big blind, who said, "I can't let you take my blind every time...raise!" He made it 600 more to go and was called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {9-Hearts} and both players checked. Hellmuth led out for 700 after the {9-Diamonds} turned and got the call, and after the {7-Diamonds} hit on the river Hellmuth bet 1,375 and was called again. His opponent turned over {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} for the runner-runner flush and Hellmuth mucked, then said, "He beat my overpair...guys are such idiots these days...it's unbelieveable..."

Shronk is Shrinking

Though they started the day with 5,000 in chips, Justin Shronk has just informed us that he's down around 2,500. His chip stack seems to be shrinking, but with the blinds getting bigger, we're anticipating a double-up soon.

Eli Strolls In

We've had many late arrivals thus far, most recently Eli Elezra has just taken his seat with only fourteen minutes left in the first round. There was a bit of confusion over where exactly he was seated, but with the help of a Harrah's employee everything was quickly resolved.

Mats Rahmn Knocks Out Men Nguyen

Before the flop, Mats Rahmn raised to 300 and Men "The Master" Nguyen called from the small blind. They both checked the 9-8-3 flop and when another 9 hit on the turn Nguyen moved in the last of his stack. Rahmn called and turned over pocket threes for a full house, way ahead of Nguyen's 8-7. A 7 fell on the river and that spelled the end of "The Master".

Welcome to the Montel Show

Montel Williams is seated at table Orange 15, located right next to the media table. In between hands we've seen Montel talking and entertaining with the players sitting near him. Everyone seems to be having a good time, though things appear to get very serious once a hand is dealt.

Late Arrivals

We didn't notice Liz Lieu the first time we went through the room, which almost certainly means she arrived late because one tends to notice when Liz Lieu is around.

Phil Hellmuth made his customary late entrance, but it was an uncustomarily subdued one because we didn't notice at first that he was here. He just took his leather jacket off, perhaps a sign that he's ready to play.
