What an Awful Birthday Present

It is Shannon Shorr's birthday today and he's looking sharp in brown suit. The player in the cutoff opened and Shorr moved all in from the button. The blinds released and the cutoff called.

Shorr: {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}

The board ran {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {3-Spades} and Shorr was eliminated. The players at the table wished him a happy birthday and told him to have fun.

"I Own Him"

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

We can't venture into the Silver Section of the Brasilia Room without cracking a smile. We walked by Kevin Saul and Mark Kroon's table and Kroon waved us over.

"You want a story? I'm 4-0 against Saul today," Kroon said. "I own him."

"Yeah, but that was for total of like 900 chips," Saul snapped back.

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Two levels are in the books and the field is going on break. It will be a little longer than usual due to the WSOP bracelet ceremony presentation.

Shaniac Going Maniac

Team Online PokerStars Pro Shane "Shaniac" Schleger has already more than doubled his starting stack in under two levels. He's currently sitting on just over a 13,000 chip stack, which looks to put him in the chip lead.
