Vanessa Selbst has been eliminated from this event and did not look overly impressed by that fact.
"Table open 383!" was the noise we heard echoing around the vast Amazon Room, a sound accompanied by Selbst heading to the rail, texting on her phone.
A player opened to 250, Alex Kostritsyn called, and Phil Laak raised the pot (1,150). The original raiser re-potted, making it 3,850, and Kostritsyn went into the tank.
"This is great," Laak told our reporter. "I sit down and these guys are getting their chips in. By the way, I've always wanted a pair of neon shoes so today I woke up and bought these."
He lifted his leg up to exposed said neon shoes.
"I like them," he added. "They're poppin'."
Kostritsyn proceeded to fold, and Laak called all in.
"Can I used these too?" he asked the dealer, grabbing a lammer. "Or are they for later?"
Paul Volpe briefly explained the lammers to him before the hands were tabled.

Opponent: 
"Oh wow you have aces," Laak said. "And spades dominated."
The player held as the board came out 
, and Laak was forced to cash in one of his lammers.

Current EPT San Remo champion Ludovic Lacay has started well and is up to 9,700 chips.
Lacay checked from the small blind on a 
flop and Lacay's fellow Frenchman Michel Abécassis checked from his under the gun seat. Seat 9 then made it 325 to play and only Lacay called. The 
turn was greeted by a 325 bet from Lacay and a call from his opponent. The 
river saw Lacay continue the aggression by making it 1,200 to play, and it was enough to get the job done because his opponent released his hand.
Jonathan Duhamel has not had the best of starts judging by how he ha no lammers left in front of him, but he has started to rebuild thanks to winning a pot moments ago.
Joining the action on the 
flop, Duhamel led for 150 from under the gun and was called by the hijack. The turn was as blank a card as you could want on that board and it was unsurprising that both players checked their option to bet. The , however, completed a potential nut straight and Duhamel fired a bet of 325 at his opponent. Mere seconds after Duhamel had bet, the hijack folded, leaving Duhamel to win the pot and continue his rebuilding mission.
In WSOP Pot Limit Omaha events, players are given a lammer that they can use at any point before the end of Level 4 that reloads their starting stack. British pro Max Silver is not a fan of them, despite the fact he is still in the tournament because of their inclusion.
Down to my last lammer after 58% and 72% no good respectively. Lammers make this tourney so dumb.Follow @max_silver
