Players Didn't Arrive on Time to Just Watch the Action

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

This year's Seniors Event features an increased starting stack of 20,000 (the announcement of which today was met with a warm round of applause). A first round of the Brasilia room - a cavernous sea of seats taken up wholly by the seniors today - saw action in every corner.

Paul W. Lee was just one of the players putting their stack to use with the blinds just 100/100: He called an early position preflop raise to 300 in position, as did the big blind. On a flop of {2-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, the initial raiser followed up with a bet of 600, again called in both spots. When the {k-Clubs} arrived on the turn, the initial raiser check-folded to Lee's 1,600 bet, while the player in the big blind called. The big blind checked the {4-Diamonds} river and Lee threw out a hefty 6,000 bet that was good to take the pot down.
