We could just blog Table 19 with all the golden material we're getting from there. The latest thing we heard was from Layne Flack.
"I'll play the Ladies Event on one condition. I'll play if Daniel Negreanu will come call me a d@*chebag to my face."
This stacked field is about to head on their first 20-minute break of the day. See you back here soon!
Level: 3
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
The players are back from their break and ready to get straight back into the poker action.
More and more players have piled into Event 50 during the break. There are currently 855 players registered and with time left to see that number increase. Last year's event had just 10 more than that and it is looking very likely that we will eclipse that number within the next two levels.
Phil Ivey was down below starting stack, but has since risen above it again, thanks to the following hand. When we arrived at the table, Ivey was in the small blind and he and the button player were committing 1,325 each through unknown action.
On the 
flop, Ivey led flicked out a bet of 2,000 and his opponent made the call. The 
on the turn would see Ivey tumble a bet of 4,500 out onto the felt - leaving himself with less than 2,000 behind. The player looked at Ivey's stack several time before deciding to let it go, sending the pot to Ivey.

John Hennigan has been doing well early here on Day 1 and that continued when he recently eliminated a player over on his table. We arrived at the action with a board already showing 
and with Hennigan having enough chips out in front of him to put one opponent all in. The player thought for a long time before making the call.
Hennigan tabled his 
and his opponent look in despair as they turned over 
. The river changed nothing and Hennigan raked in his new chips.

We caught up with PokerStars Team Pro Daniel Negreanu and asked a him his thoughts on the One Drop.
He thinks that event will attract 42 players and there is a 5-1 chance that it will sell out.
On his chances in the event:
"I think I have a really good chance. I've had a lot of success in high roller events and against bad players."
