Field Still Spread All Over

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Returning from dinner break we did an audit of the tables that are still in the Amazon Room. Currently there are 18 tables in the Purple section and 16 tables in the Blue section remaining.

Players are still spread throughout the Pavilion room in all sections. Tournament supervisors have said their goal is to get all players in the Black and White sections by the end of the night.

Dwan Down

The action folded around to the player on the button who open-shoved for 2,425 before the flop; the player on the small blind folded, but Tom Dwan thought about it for a short while before making a value call with {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

The button quickly rolled up {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and it held after the dealer spread the board of {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Not that it matters to Dwan at this stage - he's still sitting comfortably with about 40,000 in chips.

Lichtenberger Slips

A player in early position raised to 650 before Andrew Lichtenberger came in with a re-raise worth 1,450; the action then folded around to his opponent who called before both players checked down the flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the turn of the {J-Diamonds}.

The player then bet 1,200 on the river of the {2-Diamonds} and Lichtenberger mulled it over before making a crying call, only to muck his hand after the player showed {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for the set.

Shawn Marion still winning pots.

NBA All-Star Shawn Marion was looking at a raise of 800 in the big blind. With only the original raiser left in the hand, Marion moved all in for just over 2,800. The original raiser took a moment to fold his hand and Marion is up to 3,200.
