Mini Main a Hit
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
There are already over 4,716 players in the field, significant if it was a re-entry tournament but remarkable considering the Mini Main is a freezeout. In addition, there are queues of people throughout the hallways of the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, patiently waiting to take a seat. One hopeful told his friend "I've never seen it like this."
Two Barrels by Michaelis
Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
After a limp, Paul Michaelis raised to 4,100 preflop and picked up one caller to see the 
flop. Once the action checked to the German, he tossed in a continuation bet for 8,200 and received a call. On the 
turn, a second barrel for 35,000 did the trick to win the pot for Michaelis.
