Dan Martin Passes 100,000 Chips

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Dan Martin is our chip leader after passing through the 100,000 chip barrier.

In a hand just now, the hijack opened to 2,000 and Lee Childs (cutoff) three-bet to 3,800. The button and small blind folded, but Martin asked Childs how many chips he was playing. Once he had been told, Martin four-bet to 9,100. The hijack folded and so did Childs.

"Show the deuce!" said Childs before adding, "It's good for the game."

Martin declined to show either of his cards and he raked in the pot.

Plenty of Extras Being Given Away at This Year's WSOP

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

While the site has yet to launch, you can head to the Lambada Room of the Rio or look for one of the beautiful and friendly WSOP.com ladies walking the hallways to sign up for a free, personal WSOP.com online poker account. This is a great way to get a jump on the site's registration, and plenty of people have already taken this opportunity.

What's more is that the WSOP will be hosting daily raffles for everyone that has taken the time to register for WSOP.com at the Rio. What can you win? Plenty of fantastic prizes including 36 WSOP seats!

Players 21 years of age and older who sign up for a WSOP.com account will automatically be entered into the “36-Seat Giveaway” where a randomly-selected winner will win a seat into the next day’s first WSOP gold bracelet event. One of the events eligible in this promotion is the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold’em tournament that is expected to feature a $10,000,000 prize pool and allow you to play poker with the biggest names in the game. In total, $182,333 in WSOP seats, including a seat to the WSOP Main Event, are being given away during this one-of-a-kind WSOP.com promotion.

In addition to the 36-Seat Giveaway, a “Hot Seat” promotion will allow any player who signs up for a WSOP.com online account and wears their WSOP.com patch on their chest at the table while playing an event to be randomly selected to receive 500 bonus dollars deposited directly into their WSOP.com online account once the site has received all regulatory approvals and launches.

With 62 WSOP gold bracelet events and three winners promised for the Main Event, this promotion includes $32,000 worth of value to those participating.

Shannon Shorr

Shannon Shorr has added some more chips to his stack courtesy of a now-busted player. We saw one player leaving the table and in front of his old seat were the {K-Spades}{10-Spades} and they had lost to Shorr's {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} on a {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board.

Nguyen Makes A Huge Laydown

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Men Nguyen raised to 2,000 from middle position and the player in the cutoff reraised to 6,500. It folded back around to Nguyen who thought and thought and thought some more.

He started talking: "I can't call you. I either fold or go all in." Just as he was turning his cards up, he said: "Don't call me a chicken sh*t." His opponent called him just that as he saw Nguyen fold {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. His opponent was not happy as he held {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.
