Bossing Them Around

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Anthony Gregg
Anthony Gregg

Tony Gregg opened to 1,700 from the button and was called by the player in the small blind. The flop came {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Gregg's opponent checked. Gregg made a bet of 1,800 and was called.

Both players checked on the {3-Clubs} turn which lead to the player in the small blind leading out for 2,400 on the {5-Hearts} flop. Gregg thought for a moment and put out a raise of 8,700. His opponent quickly folded. Gregg, who won the One Drop at the 2013 WSOP, is looking to add another seven figure score to his poker resume. Maria Ho is also at his table, with a stack much shorter than the "End Boss."

Insane Speed

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The tournament screens indicate that we have already lost 300 players today in about 40 minutes of play. While this is not unexpected, it may also mean a not so crazy long tomorrow and is surely appreciated by this fellow blogger.

One For Chattha

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Charles Chattha started the day with around 25,000 in chips and has since doubled that pretty much. Just now we saw a player in under the gun move all in for 5,800 and the Brit flatted two seats over. All other players folded and we went to the showdown:

Chattha: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
UTG: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The {4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} board ran out safely for the Brit and he scored the knockout.

Henderson Felted

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

There were already 14,000 in the pot when we arrived at the table of Aaron Henderson and saw the {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Henderson called a bet of 8,700 and had 20,000 behind. The {3-Clubs} turn saw his opponent move all in and the Employees Event deep runner eventually called off with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}, but saw himself dominated by {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. No eight on the river but the {Q-Diamonds} and that was it.

We are already down to 1,370 players remaining.

What's Up Doc?

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

David "Doc" Sands opened the action to 1,800 first to act from middle position. He was re-raised by the player in the small blind to 4,700. Sand thought for about 15 seconds before announcing that he was all in and his opponent quickly folded. Sands is joined by two tough players at his table, Mike Sexton and Jonathan Tamayo.
