And Over...

The total number of entries on the board now reads 6,008 and is still rising. I think it's safe to assume the odd one or two might have snuck in as alternates very early on both yesterday and today...

Feel The Force

An early position raise was met with no respect as five players called to see a {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} flop. EP led out for 225 and only Leif Force called on the button.

The turn brought a 350 bet from EP that Force called once more. EP checked when {3-Clubs} fell on the river, a move that Force smiled widely at. Then he threw in his remaining 1,125 forcing his opponent to fold.

The Pham-tom Menace

David 'The Dragon' Pham is already down to just 700 chips after an early scuffle or two.

This is slightly more than Fabrice Soulier though, who has already busted.

No More Time for a November Nine

Chino Rheem has busted already. He was involved in a raised pot with Dan Mathes that brought a {7-?} {5-?} {5-?} board.

Rheem bet out 150 that was raised to 500. He called the raise and check called a 700 bet on {7-?} turn.

The river {J-?} prompted Rheem to push his remaining stack in. Mathes called and Rheem mucked saying "You got it". Mathes tabled {Q-?} {Q-?} and scooped in the pot.
