"The Catch"

[user75311]

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Javier Montano got the rest of his 16,800 chips in preflop against Blake Barousse. Montano's {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} was well behind the {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} of Barousse and stayed behind on the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop. However, the turn gave him all the help he needed when it fell the {a-Spades}. The river bricked off with the {k-Clubs} and Montano got the double he spent all last night and this morning thinking about.

"It Was Real Close"

We found Gavin Smith moving all in from early position at Table 342 just a few moments ago.

After Smith's push the action had folded around to around to the big blind who happened to be none other than Hoyt Corkins. Corkins sat in silence for a good minute before eventually laying it down and exclaiming "it was real close". The table laughed as Smith raked in a small pot.

We'd All Like to be Amnon Filippi

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

An interesting situation was developing on Purple #350. Brandan Zaucha, after unbagging, stacking and counting his chips, realized that they were sitting in the wrong seat. In fact, it was a late Amnon Filippi that was supposed to be there. The floor was called over and luckily Zaucha hadn't played a hand yet. He found the right bag, Orange #243, Seat 8, and still we wait for Filippi. At least, when he does arrive, his chips will be nicely stacked and in order.

Corkins Pushing the Bubble

[user75311]
[user75311]

On the very first hand, James Sowers raised from the cutoff to 2,300. Hoyt Corkins was in the big blind and picked up the 1,300 in chips that would be necessary to call. After twirling them around for about a minute, he announced he was all in. Sowers quickly released his hand.

As he was raking in the chips, Corkins told Sowers with a smile, "I'm still mad at you from the Commerce."

"Yeah. It sucks when you play out of your mind and still lose, because you did that," Sowers responded.

Day 2: Money Bubble Looms

Day 2 is about to begin here at the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. What started with 3,175 spread out amongst the Rio is now only 342 players here in the Amazon Room, and we are only 20 players from the money.

Our chip leader and only player over 100,000 chips is Doug Lang with 119,700. Justin Sloan (99,400), Victor Shuchleis (97,200), Sybe Smit (94,800) and Stephen Kats (92,400) are also at the top of the counts, all with at least 90,000 chips. The story of Day 1 however has to be PokerStars Team Pro Lex Veldhuis who was down to only 800 chips early on in the event but ended Day 1 with 73,000 and near the top of our counts.

Other notables making it to Day 2 are Micah Raskin (76,600) Amnon Filippi (65,400), Yuval Bronshtein (52,400), Hoyt Corkins (46,700) John Phan (42,700), Jason Somerville (36,500), Scott Montgomery (32,500), Tim West (26,000), Taylor Paur (25,000), Shaun Deeb (24,000) and Gavin Smith (9,000).

Notables who didn't make it to Day 2 include, Matt Jarvis, Randall Flowers, Galen Hall, Joe Cada, Faraz Jaka, Jeff Sarwer, Antonio Esfandiari, Josh Brikis, Scotty Nguyen, Justin Young, Jeff Madsen, Liv Boeree, Eric Baldwin and many others.

We are only 20 players from the money, so we can assume it will be an intense start here on Day 2. While we certainly won't get to a final table tonight, we should see some real chip leaders emerge as the field thins and the bracelet becomes a real possibility. We are about 15 minutes from the start, stay tuned because it certainly won't be a slow start here on Day 2!
