Double-Up or Go Home Early

Over on Table 366 we just saw a big all-in situation between Leonard Cortelino and Adam Kornuth. Cortelino had opened for 4,250 from the button, and Kornuth responded with a reraise to 10,700 from the small blind. The BB folded, then Cortelino made it 29,750, and Kornuth called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and Kornuth promptly shoved all in. Cortelino made the call, showing {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} to Kornuth's {A-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The turn and river came {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, meaning the hand ended in a chop.

Clock!

It's never too early to call the clock, just ask John Kim.

The board lay {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} when we reached Table 362 and Kim had bet out 3,500 into a pot of about 4,000.

His opponent, Desmond Portano, went very deep into the tank and didn't act for over two minutes. Kim decided to call the clock, and as soon as a floorperson came to the table Portano opted to release his hand.

Shoot 'Em Up!

The first hands at our 14 ten-handed tables are being dealt!

There were a couple of announcements just prior to the start. One was that three players were voided from the tourney on Day 1, meaning the originally announced payouts are slightly different than what was reported yesterday. For example, first prize will be $381,922 (not $382,725, as earlier reported).

Also, now that we're in the money, no iPods or other such electronic devices are to be used from this point forward.

Bang! Bang! Day 2 of Shootout Awaits

Welcome to Day 2 of Event No. 39, the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout. Yesterday saw 1,400 players spread out across 140 ten-handed tables, with the winners of each returning for today's second round.

Same story today, with 14 ten-handed tables. And once again, it is win your table or go home.

Among those back for more are J.C. Tran, Isabelle Mercier, Chau Giang, Terrence Chan, Paul Magriel, Robert Mizrachi, Victor Ramdin, Tony Dunst, Bryan Devonshire, David Miscikowski, and Annette Obrestad.

Everyone who made it back has assured himself or herself a $5,632 payday, but to improve on that will require winning another table today. The 14 winners today will return tomorrow for a 14-person, two-table "sit-n-go" to determine who will win the next WSOP bracelet.

Cards are scheduled to go into the air at 2:30 p.m. local time. See you back here then!
