The Dealer Needs a Rebuy

[user37786]

How's the action at the table where Sorel Mizzi, Mark Vos and Steve Sung are playing? The dealer just ran out of rebuy chips, requiring the floor to scramble to bring in trays of reinforcements.

Only Got One

[user38971]

Tim Vance was all in preflop against a single opponent, who showed pocket sevens. Vance appeared to have him crushed, holding pocket aces, until the board came {6-Diamonds}

giving his opponent a rivered straight.

After the hand, Tim Vance stood up and said, "I've only got one buy-in" and left his table.

Table Orange 19 is in a bit of all-in frenzy today as their table continues to just fire all in preflop to see what luck may bring. Their first big all-in was with four total players, and two hands later there were six all-ins preflop. The hand immediately after saw another five-way all-in. This time one of the losing players didn't rebuy.

On the six handed all-in, the hole cards were {8-Clubs}

,

,

, and 5-3. The board came {6-Diamonds}

giving Ben Sabrin 20,000 in chips when his {8-Clubs}

held up to make a straight.

Phil Ivey Playing Tight

[user37786]

Well, no, not really. Ivey has been all in just about the entire tournament, it seems, though he just doubled up Clonie Gowen when she flopped Broadway holding {A-Diamonds}

, crushing Ivey's pocket threes. He still has around 8,000 in front of him.

Deep Pockets

[user37786]

Steve Sung has already rebought ten times, with most of his chips ending up in Sorel Mizzi's stack. But there are quite a few players who lost their handful of chips, decided enough was enough, and headed out of the room.

Like Father, Like Sons

[user38971]

In a field as large as this, one would think that the odds of two brothers and their fathers ending up anywhere near one another would be slim. However, that would not hold true today as Matt Sexton and his father Keith are both playing at the same table, while Matt's brother Paul sits at a table directly across from them. What are the odds?
