Boyd Takes a Hit

[user38971]

Flop:

Terry Boyd checked in early position and his opponent, from the button, made it 10,000 to go. Boyd check-raised to 32,000 and his opponent moved all-in for another 54,000. Boyd called and showed A-K for top pair, top kicker, while his opponent showed A-Q. The {Q-Clubs}

on the turn gave his opponent the lead and Boyd was unable to get it back.

After the hand, Boyd is down to 250,000.

It was a short day 3 for Charlie Wang. He pushed the last of his chips in with {J-Hearts}

and couldn't outrun the {10-Diamonds}

of Raja Kattamuri.

The board ran out {K-Clubs}

and Wang hit the rail.

Short Stacks Looking for Chips

[user66118]

"All in and a call," has already been heard numerous times around the room in the first three minutes of play.

Right in front of us, at table Blue 2, Chris Dyer pushed his last 2,600 chips forward on the very first hand of the day. When he survived, he donned a big grin and said, "Who's the greatest? Who's the greatest?!"

After a moment, he added, "That's all in number 10!"

Shuffle Up and Deal!

[user38368]

We are set to begin with the final 1,307 players. We have heard that if we hit the money before five levels have completed, play will stop right there, but we don't have confirmation of that. They have said for sure that if we reach five levels on the bubble, play will continue, otherwise play will stop there. Still several hundred players to go before that happens!

Level: 11

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

For the first time, the survivors from four initial starting days and two Day 2 sessions will be merged into a single field. 1,307 players will be on hand at the start of the day's play, with one of the day's likely goals to be the reaching of the money bubble, where the top 666 players will cash.
