Broke on the Break

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

With the Brasilia Room emptied out for the last 20-minute break, we saw two players still seated and engaged in a hand at least five minutes after the room had cleared.

Eliyahu Levy made a large bet on the {A-}{2-}{7-} flop, and his opponent withdrew deep into the tank to mull his options. Eventually, the player elected to shove his stack forward for an all-in move, but he was visibly dismayed when Levy quickly verbalized a call.

The player tabled {K-}{K-}, but his power play had failed to push Levy off of {A-}{J-}. The turn and river offered no help to the cowboys, and the player earned the ignominious honor of being eliminated during the break.

Seat Open on Table Infinity

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

In what has become a time honored tradition here at the WSOP, players have returned from the break in a gambling mood, and the Brasilia Room is now filled with the familiar refrain offered to all fallen players.

As the announcement of "Seat Open!" echoes throughout the room, and our field continues to be chopped down to size, players can be seen standing to depart every few moments.

Ivey Enters

Being seated next to Phil Ivey can be a frightening experience. Recently he was moved to a table near the rail in the bronze section.

In a recent hand, one player limped in middle position. The player in the small blind called, and Ivey checked his option. The flop came down {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Hearts} and action checked to Ivey who bet 350. Everyone folded without giving it much thought.

Ivey may have just entered the Brasilia room but he's already off to a good start.

We missed the bustout hand, but Greg Raymer is now conversing with a friend still in the field, and he has been eliminated here on Day 1 of this event.

The Big Boss Man

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante
Daniel Suied (Seen Here in Earlier WSOP) is a Personality That Can't be Missed
Daniel Suied (Seen Here in Earlier WSOP) is a Personality That Can't be Missed

We just passed by Dan "Miami Boss" Suied's table and, while the self-styled impresario of the South Beach poker scene is currently sitting on a short stack, his impeccable style and brash persona were had to miss.

With two deep runs in World Poker Tour events this year, and a cash in the WSOP already (Event # 12, $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em, 19th place, $3,409), the Boss will be looking to keep the run good going here as Day 1 continues.
