Day 1e has reached the end of Level 8 and players will go on their second break of the day.
Late registration will close when the players return.
Play in the Colossus was temporarily paused before the start of Level 9 so that the Brasilia room could witness Frenchman Julien Martini collect his Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better bracelet.
The whole room stood for the French national anthem and created a great atmosphere after Martini had made his speech.
Level: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 100
Level 9 is underway which signals the closure of registration. The current total for Day 1e stands at 3,206 and we will have official confirmation shortly.

John Duthie: 
Lisa Fleishman:
Board:

Kristen Bicknell:
Cory Chen: 
Board: 
Bicknell took the lead on the flop with top pair, but Chen had the nut flush draw and the ace overcard still to hit. It was the ace that came on the turn, followed by another ace on the river for a full double-up.
