The Case Eight
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
We heard a ruckus coming from Table 364 and rushed over to find out that David Patent rivered Maureen Johansson in an all in situation.
Johansson held 
against Patent's 
and apparently a player at the table folded the 
. So, when the 
spiked on the river, the whole table erupted.
Johansson is our first bust-out of the day and will receive $1,265 for her efforts. Patent is still alive and kicking, sitting with 50,000 chips.
Washington Playing Aggressive Out of the Gate
Kent Washington, the current chip leader, has come out ultra aggressive at the start of Day 2. He is frequently making big preflop raises and taking down the blinds and antes. It appears Washington isn't afraid to use his chip lead to push around the shorter stacks.
And We're Off!
The cards are in the air for today's restart of Event #1!

Day 2 on the Horizon
Today, the first bracelet of the 2010 World Series of Poker is scheduled to be awarded to one of the fifty-three remaining players in Event #1: $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'em.
Tournament Director Jack Effel informed the players that they will evaluate the situation after ten levels of play and determine whether or not to finish today or return again tomorrow.
The restart is set for 2:30 p.m. Vegas time, and Kent Washington leads the way with 168,000 in chips. Both Jonathan Kotula (108,700 chips) and Christopher Reider (107,500) are biting at his heels though. The action was fast yesterday and the field shrunk a considerable amount.
We will hopefully play down to a champion today, so stay tuned for all of your exclusive live updates from our fantastic PokerNews team!
