Rather than playing on tables Brasilia #6 through #10, players have been moved closer to the rail on Brasilia #1 through #5. They are currently unbagging their chips; we should be ready to go in about five minutes.

Just as we started play here in the Brasilia Room, Event #42 -$1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em World Championship went on break. There are only two exits from the Brasilia Room, and both are right along the rail where the Triple Draw restart is taking place. A stream of several hundred seniors headed straight through the tournament area for the exit, ignoring railings, chair-barriers and protests from the floor supervisor not to walk through the triple-draw area.
Hopefully this is a problem that will be solved by the next break.

Robert Mizrachi raised from the cutoff, Gioi Luong three-bet from the small blind, and Mizrachi called. Luong took one card and Mizrachi two, and both checked.
On the second round, both players took two cards. This time Luong led out, and Mizrachi folded. Luong has 74,100, and Mizrachi 52,400.

Billy Baxter must have done something right this morning. Short-stacked and sitting in the big blind, he called a raise from John Roveto and drew three to Roveto's one. He checked dark and Roveto bet. Again Baxter called and drew three to Roveto's one. He bet all in after the second draw for 1,400.
"How much is it?" Roveto asked. "1,400?"
"You can't raise," Baxter joked.
"If you had more chips I couldn't call," Roveto replied. He did make the call. On the last draw Baxter stood pat while Roveto again drew one.
"I can't believe I made an eight," said Baxter, turning over a rough eight.
"If you made an eight, it's good," replied Roveto. He took one look at Baxter's hand and then quickly mucked.
"That's a bad sign, boys," Baxter warned. We'll see if the lowball specialist can rebuild his stack after that hand.

By the way, we are only six players away from the cash already. The top 24 finishers get paid. See "Prizepool and Payouts" for the full pay schedule.

Trung Ly, who started today with 17,100, raised from the small blind, and Mike Ross, who started today with just 11,100, called from the big blind. Ly took one card and Ross took two. Ly checked, Ross bet, and Ly called.
On the second draw, Ly took one card and Ross stood pat. This time Ly bet out, and Ross called with the last of his chips. Both stood pat on the third draw.
Ly had made a smooth 8 on the second draw -- 8-5-4-3-2. Ross showed a 10 and mucked the rest of his cards. Ross is out, and Ly up to 25,000.

Two more pots were pushed away from Robert Mizrachi. First, he tangled with Gioi Luong a second time, calling Luong's raise from the big blind. He drew two to Luong's one, then check-called after the first draw was completed.
On the second draw, both players took one card and checked. They both took one again on the third draw. When Mizrachi check-called Luong's bet, Luong turned over 10-5-4-3-2. Mizrachi nodded and mucked.
Just a short time later, Mizrachi was the pre-draw aggressor from the cutoff, and Ray Davis was the caller in the big blind. Davis took three cards to Mizrachi's two, then led out with a bet after the draw that Mizrachi called. On the second draw, Davis took two cards to Mizrachi's one, and check-called Mizrachi's bet. Davis took one card on the final draw, while Mizrachi stood pat. Both players checked the action through.
"Jack," announced Mizrachi. Davis turned over 9-7-6-4-2 and scooped the pot.
