Farrell Wins Huge Pot vs. Smith

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Chris Moorman raised to 500 from middle position, Niall Farrell flat-called in the cutoff and Dan Smith squeezed to 1,700 from the small blind. Moorman stepped out of the way, but Farrell called.

Smith checked the {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop and then called when Farrell bet 1,900. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} into play and Smith checked again. Farrell kept his foot pressed firmly on the gas and bet 4,700. Again, Smith called.

The {8-Diamonds} paired the board and Smith checked for a third time. Farrell reached for chips and bet 15,300. Smith pondered his options for a short while before settling on a call.

Farrell flipped over {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a full house and Smith mucked his holding. Farrell is now up there with the chip leaders as a result.

Salter Soaring High

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

British pro Jack Salter, fresh from winning more than $1 million from a second place finish in the European Poker Tour Grand Final, looks to be leading this event here in Las Vegas with a stack of 52,000 chips.

Salter's nemesis that day was Antonio Buonanno, who is seated directly in front of the media desk on Table #1 with 19,000.

We've also clapped eyes on the German sensation Ole Schemion, who has dropped around 3,000 of his starting stack and currently has 12,000 chips in front of him.
