Action had folded to Kevin MacPhee when he completed from the small blind. The big blind checked and the two were headed to a friendly flop.
The flop came 
and MacPhee threw in 25. The big blind countered with a raise to 100 and MacPhee called.
The turn brought the 
, and MacPhee checked. When the big blind bet 100, MacPhee raised to 600, getting a call from the big blind.
The river was the 
and MacPhee didn't let up on the aggression. He bet 1,200 into the pot and the big blind elected to call.
MacPhee: 
Big blind: 
After the turn, the board read 
and Jonathan Little made a bet of about 1,000. The player in Seat 1 then moved all in for 1,575 more and Little made the call:
Little: 
Seat 1: 
Both players had flopped trip aces with a king kicker and were likely going to chop the pot; however, the player in Seat 1 had a freeroll. Since he had a club, and there were three on board, all he needed to do was hit one more on the river to scoop the pot.
The dealer burned and flipped over the 
. Seat 1 slapped the table in excitement while Little counted out chips. After the hand Little was left with only a little over a thousand in chips.
Erica Schoenberg was down to her last 525 chips when she got it all in preflop and was called by a single opponent.
Schoenberg:
Opponent: 
We didn't catch the cards, but what we do know is that Schoenberg lost the race and now has a beautiful afternoon to spend outdoors. Or at a cash game.
The 2007 Main Event Champ won't be adding another gold bracelet to his collection today. Jerry Yang was all in for his last 700 or so on a board reading 
.
Yang had made a pair with his 
, but it wasn't good enough to overcome his opponent's 
for a flopped straight.
Yang was eliminated on the hand and became one of the early casualties on Day 1B.
Aciton has been pretty slow at the start of the tournament. Typical pots seem to be like the one that just occurred at Amnon Filippi's table.
With about 300 in the pot, Filippi bet 225 on a board reading 
. Filippi's opponent in Seat 2 promptly folded and gave up the small pot.
Action is sure to pick up as missing players take their seats and the levels tick away.
Three gentlemen at Table 25 have been playing three-handed for over 25 minutes now. They've got more players assigned to their table, but they have yet to show. Steal those blinds, fellas.
Jerry Yang was sheepishly looked at out field reporter and said, "Not a good start." This was in reference to his stack of 1,150, less than half of what he started with minutes ago.
Yang might be comforted by the fact that players have already busted from the tournament, so having chips at this point is better than not having them at all.
As expected, there are a lot of amateur and recreational players in the field today. That said, a few big names are sitting down to play. Here's who we've seen so far:
Sorel Mizzi
Sam Stein
Jon "FatalError" Aguiar
Bertrand Grospellier
Annette Obrestad
Justin Young
Greg Mueller
Jerrod Ankenman
Erica Schoenberg
Tracey Nguyen
Gary Bogdanski
Boris Becker
J.C. Tran
Jamie Robbins
So far a number of pros have been spotted at the tables. Among them are 2007 World Champ Jerry Yang, Bernard Lee, Eric Baldwin, Joe Cada, Marco Traniello, Kelly Kim, Jonathan Little, David Pham, Edward Brogdon, and Burt Boutin.
With players still trickling in, you can expect even more big names to be in the field.
