We're Back
Players are back in their seats and Level 10 has begun. We lost 70 players, by the way, during that 25-minute stretch, meaning 516 remain. Also, all players remaining in the event are now over in the Amazon Room.
Dempsey Down
You might notice that James Dempsey -- who already has one bracelet this summer, having won Event #9, the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event -- no longer appears at the top of the chip counts. In fact, he did just lose a big pot, but nowhere near as big as one might think given that the official counts from the WSOP had him starting the day with more than 140,000.
Dempsey's total at the end of Day 1a was misreported somewhere along the line. In truth, he had about 40,000 at night's end. (Looks like an extra "1" might have popped in their somewhere.) In any event, our real leaders -- Tommaso Briotti, Eelke Arjaans, and Andrew Talbot -- all started the day in the 70,000-80,000 chip range.
Just now Dempsey was involved in a hand in which a short-stacked player was all in with 
against Dempsey's 
. The flop came 
, giving Dempsey a set and making it look like he was about to get a boost to that stack. But the turn brought the 
, taking the advantage away. The river was the 
, and Dempsey takes a hit early.
Dempsey sits with 26,000 at present. Really.
What a Hand
When we arrived at the table, we saw four players all in, two of them holding pocket kings, one with ace jack off suited and the last one holding pocket aces.
The board spread 
and Mike Hanson knocked out two opponents, is now up to 75,000 chips.
That Reraise Was Too Thierry
Eelke Arjaans raised to 1,700, and it folded around to Team PokerStars Pro Thierry Van Den Berg who made it 4,500 from the small blind. The big blind got out, and Arjaans thought for a while before backing down from Van Ben Berg's reraise.
Van Den Berg showed his hand -- 
-- as he scooped the chips. He's sitting with about 21,000 right now, right about an average stack at the moment. Arjaans is still among the leaders with 72,000.
Jacob Doubles Through Shorr
Alex Jacob opened the pot with a 2,100-chip raise and Shannon Shorrr popped it 14,400. Jacob called all in.
Showdown
Jacob: 
Shorr:
The board came out 
and Jacob is now up to 30,000 chips.
Dunst Looking Sharp
Tony "Bond18" Dunst opened with a raise to 1,800, and an opponent reraised all in for 4,000 total. Dunst made the call, showing 
. His opponent was looking to get lucky with 
.
The board came 
, and another player has hit the rail. Dunst moves to 36,000.
Kings for Kara Scott
When we arrived at the table the chips were in the middle. Kara Scott tabled and her opponent showed .
The 
board gave Scott 53,000 chips.
Shorr Raises, Can't Get Fold
Shannon Shorr opened with a raise to 2,000, and an opponent reraised to 4,500. Action back on Shorr, he found out what his opponent had left, then put in a huge reraise -- to 26,000 -- putting his opponent to the test for the rest of his chips.
The big reraise couldn't push his opponent out, though, and he made the call, tabling . Shorr then showed his hand -- 
.
The board went 
, meaning Shorr's opponent ended with a full house. Shorr tumbles to 10,500 on that one.
