The board says that 476 players signed up for Event #18 and evidently some have already busted because there are tables breaking.
Once the tournament staff updates the Remaining section of the board we will surely do the same.

Dan Heimiller raised from the cutoff, and Justin Young three-bet on the button. Heimiller called, and they went heads up to a 

flop. Heimiller check-raised Young, who flatted. Then Dan bet out on the
turn, and Young flat called again. The
on the turn got a check from Heimiller, and Young checked behind. Justin showed 
for fourth pair, and that was good enough to win the pot. Young climbed to 9,200 while Heimiller is down to half of his starting stack.

If you ever need a reason not to late reg for a WSOP event, this is it. The $2k tables that filled after the break look just like the ones you'd see at a $10k. First we spotted Jan von Halle, Sabyl Landrum, Bob Lauria, Joe Chaplin, Rep Porter, Dewey Tomko, Matt Stout, and Eric Blair in the field. Fair enough. Then we moved down the line to the last three tables down the line. See for yourself.

Bob Lauria is off to a quick start at one of our stacked tables of late registers.
Lauria check-called every street on a 



board and his opponent tabled 
on the river. Lauria tabled 
for a winning straight, chipping up to 7,000.
Five players, including Marcel Luske and Matt Lefkowitz, saw a flop of 

and all five players checked.
The turn brought the
and a player in the small blind bet. Only Luske and Lefkowitz called and the river was the
.
The player in the small blind bet again and Luske called. Lefkowitz folded and the player in the small blind opened 
for trip jacks. Luske mucked, but is still at 8,600 chips.
Jennifer Tilly has nearly doubled her stack in the first two levels of Event #18.
She called a raise in late position and so too did a player on the button and a player in the big blind. The flop came 

and the original raiser bet when checked to. Tilly put in a second bet and received two callers including the original raiser.
The turn was the
and this time the original raiser checked. Tilly bet, the player on the button folded and the original raiser called.
The river brought the
and Tilly bet again. The player on the button called and quickly mucked when Tilly tabled 
for a flush.
Her stack now sits at 11,200 chips.
Level: 3
Blinds: 50/100
Ante: 0

We've played two levels and that means it's time for a 20-minute break.
Hurry before the bathroom line gets too long!
