Rheem Runs Into Full House

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

A late position player opened with a raise to 700 and Chino Rheem three-bet the action to 1,800 from the cutoff. Action came back around to the original opener and he called.

The two took a flop of {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} and action checked to Rheem. He continued for 2,300 and his opponent called to see the board pair with the {5-Clubs} on the turn. He checked once more and Rheem kept firing, this time for 4,800 total. He found a call and the {3-Hearts} finished off the community cards. Rheem's opponent checked and Rheem knocked the table back.

Rheem's opponent showed {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for fives full of queens, prompting Rheem to fling his cards into the muck. With this hit, he's down to about 52,000.

Players pack the Amazon Room for Day 1b of the Main Event

We've reached the second break of the day on Day 1b of the Main Event, and among our leaders is Dutchman Jorn Walthaus.

Walthaus, who opted not to play on Day 1a as did many of his countrymen because they were too busy watching their country's football team escape a nail bitter against Costa Rica in the 2014 FIFA World Cup is sitting on 71,400 chips and eyeing yet another deep run in the Main Event. Last year, he finished 26th for $285,408, while fellow Dutchman Michiel Brummelhuis became the first player from Holland to reach the Main Event final table, ultimately finishing seventh for $1,225,356.

Also among the chip leaders is Slovenia's own Dejan Pustoslemšek, who currently has around 70,000.

During Level 2 we spotted NASCAR driver Jason White in the field. White, driver of the No. 24 Toyota car in the Nationwide Series, is evidently friends with 2013 runner-up Jay Farber, who tweeted that he is constantly texting White for updates.

Among the players to bust in Level 2 were Vladimir Geshkenbein, Kevn Saul, and David "Doc" Sands. Geshkenbein ran {a-}{k-} into the {a-}{a-} of an opponent, and the Russian hit the rail.

The players are now on a 20-minute break. Until then, enjoy this video with Sarah Grant and Triana Iglesias:

Kerstetter Loses Some

Level 3 : 150/300, 0 ante

Heinz Kamutski opened to 550 and a middle position player and the player in the hijack made the call. Jamie Kerstetter three bet to 2,400 on the button and only the player in mid-position called.

The flop was {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and the mid-position player check-called a bet of 2,000 from Kerstetter. The turn came {7-Spades} and both players checked to the {6-Diamonds} on the river.

Both checked again and Kerstetter mucked when her opponent tabled {10-}{10-}.

Van den Bijgaart Gets Tricky

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
Joep van den Bijgaart
Joep van den Bijgaart

Joep van den Bijgaart, who had an excellent start of the day, just lost a pot against France rapper turned poker player Bruno 'Kool Shen' Lopes.

Van den Bijgaart raised before the flop to 500 under the gun plus one and from his left Lopes three-bet to 1,250. The action folded back to Van den Bijgaart who four-bet to 3,100.

Lopes made the call with just 11,000 chips behind and the flop brought out {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Van den Bijgaart bet 1,700 and Lopes called. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and Van den Bijgaart glanced over at Lopes' stack before betting 3,100.

Lopes moved all in for 9,200 total and Van den Bijgaart immediately folded his cards.
