Some Early Exits on Day 3

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Calvin Anderson Railing His Horses Before Jumping in the H.O.R.S.E.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Calvin Anderson was spotted on the rail and had a brief chat with a PokerNews reporter to reveal that he had two horses in the Seniors Championship. Anderson's father Jason and his uncle Charles Lutz made it to Day 3.

Anderson revealed that his father and Lutz were joined by two others at the start of the tournament, swapping pieces of action between them.

Both have below-average stacks at the moment and will be hoping to quickly double up to start moving up the pay ladder. Calvin revealed they are planning to jump into the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E championship, but plans may change.

Smith on a Heater

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With the flop already out and reading 2108, Howard Smith went all in from the button and was called by Thomas Stinson, whom he covered.

Thomas Stinson: J9
Howard Smith: A10

A 7 on the turn ended Stinson's hopes and the river was the 8.

It has been a remarkable first hour for Smith, who started the day with less than 300,000 in chips and now has close to 2,000,000.
