Happy Father's Day, and perhaps more importantly, Happy Day 1b. Yesterday we welcomed 1,986 or so players into the field. Only 290 of them survived after eight and a half hours of play. Whoever makes it through that same length of time today will join yesterday's survivors for Day 2 tomorrow afternoon.
We'll be with you all day, so make sure to check in with us to see which notable players sign up today, who gets a huge stack built up and who suffers the baddest of the beats.
Table 36 won't be the easiest of table to work through. In Seat 1 we have PokerStars Team Pro USA's Gavin Griffin, while Ahn Van Nguyen, of PokersStars Team Pro Canada can be found in Seat 10.
Has we walk around the room we found some more notables on the field: Dragan Galic, Svetlana Gromenkova, James Akenhead, Edward Brogdon, Alex Jacob and Pablo Ubierna.
After losing more than half of his stack to quads fours, Lon McEachern found himself anxious to double up. He got a chance recently when he was in the big blind and playing against an opponent in middle position on a flop reading .
McEachern led in with a bet of 150, with his opponent raising to 500. At this time McEachern went all in for about 1,300 total. His opponent called and things looked bleak for our ESPN broadcaster.
McEachern:
Opponent: [9d92]
No sooner had McEachern stood up than the hit, giving him a straight. He faded a full house for his opponent when the came on the river.
Men Nguyen was just spotted making his way to a seat on the far corner of the room. He's got to be going off just a little sleep after spending most of last night working his way towards a second place finish in Event #32, which was good for a cool $412,746.
