Tyler Creating

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event runner-up Tyler Reiman has a heap of chips in front of him.

This fact likely made it very easy to give up on a 2,100-chip pot when facing a 900-chip bet from his opponent on a {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} board following the river. Either that or he had very little.

More Counts

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Here's a few more updated chip counts from the floor:

Fun Table

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Griffin Benger is chatting up a storm on his table and he and Pratyush Buddiga agreed that theirs is the most fun table. From what we’ve seen that may well be true, but there are a LOT of tables to accommodate the 1,480 players who have bought in so far. Just for good measure, Benger opened for 300, took it down and showed the table {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Fun times.

A few tables over we also spotted Dan Shak, who is accumulating chips early.

Martin Staszko is not far away from him and not having such a great start.

Riess Raises

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante
Ryan Riess
Ryan Riess

Ryan Riess opened the betting from the button and got called by the blinds.

The flop was {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the small blind led out for 350. The big blind folded, but Riess applied some pressure with a raise to 875. The bet was called and Riess asked his opponent how much he had behind - 2,500.

The turn card was the {10-Diamonds} and the small blind bet 1,250, which Riess now knew to be half his stack. Riess mulled it over before folding.

Getting Lucky

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Andrew “luckychewy” Lichtenberger is in the field and getting to know the other players at his table. It looks like he is set to play a large number of tournaments this summer.

MacPhee Busts

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

It was not a great day for Kevin MacPhee. We told you how he was short before the break and when we returned to his table he was gone.

Marcus Gonsalves sent him packing with {9-}{9-} against the {a-}{k-} of MacPhee.
