Christina Lindley was out of green 25 chips and was forced to throw in a black 100 chip for her big blind. Still shuffling the cards, the dealer asked the gentleman besides her to make change and added, "It might be your only chance to touch someone else's chips." The players at the table, although definitely surprised, seemed to love it and even the guy who made the change was having fun with it.

We found Layne Flack calling a raise of 150 from the big blind preflop. The players were then awarded a 
flop where Flack's opponent bet out 350 after Flack checked, and Flack smooth called.
Flack checked again when the 
his on the turn, but this time when he was facing a bet of 625 he did not simply call, no he raised big. His opponent tanked for a few moments and then folded.
An opponent opened to 150 from middle position and was called by both players in the blinds, including Jeffrey Papola in the big. The flop came down 
, and the action checked the the original raiser who continued for 300. Both players called.
The turn was the

Day one on this massive tournament
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
There appears to be an unusually large number of woman in today's field. Normally, it is rare to find more than one woman at the same table on a Day 1, as a few will be scattered throughout each section. Today, almost every table has at least one and we even spotted a couple of tables that had three.
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
When we reached his table, a short-stacked Ravi Raghavan was all in blind with the board reading 
. An opponent opened up .
"Two pair?" Raghavan lamented. "That's like unbeatable."
The first card Raghavan sweated was a fun one; the 
.
"I've got outs!" he said cheerfully.
The second card was neither an ace or a six however, because Raghavan mucked his hand and exited the room.
