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

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.
