Slow Start For Collins

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Former November Niner Phil Collins' off to a good start at this year's World Series of Poker with four cashes but today his start has been a bit slow.

Collins made a raise to 75 and the player in the small blind made the call. The flop brought out {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and both players checked after which the turn was the {5-Hearts}. The small blind checked again and this time Collins bet 150. Collins' opponent check-raised to 425 and the call was made.

On the river the {2-Hearts} popped up and Collins shook his head when his opponent bet 725. Collins ultimately folded and left himself with 3,400 chips.

Madsen Tank Folds

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

We arrived at the table with a board reading {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and about 4,000 chips in the middle. Jim Rice had bet 1,500 and action was on Jeff Madsen. Eventually Madsen folded and Rice claimed a decent sized pot.

We also seen Jesse Sylvia, Xuan Liu, and French Canadian poker analyst Laurence Grondin take their seats and Ami Alibay vacate his.

Quick Double Up For Kessler

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

"I doubled on the first hand," Allen Kessler immediately mentioned when he spotted our presence at his table.

Kessler went on to explain how he managed to already sit on quite a big stack here during the early goings. Kessler called a raise with {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and called again when the flop brought {A-}{10-}{8-}. On the turn a {2-} hit and Kessler raised the bet from his opponent, who on his turn put in another raise.

The river was another {2-} and Kessler moved all in after his opponent bet again. Kessler was called by {A-}{8-} and his rivered full house gave him a full double up.
