The flop scrolled across K♣7♠7♠ and Lococo sized down to 6,100 and received a call. The turn rolled off the 6♣ and Lococo sized up to 26,000. Dickerson made the fold and was moved to a new table shortly after.

There are now 6 tables and 48 players in action as they approach their first break.

Level 2 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Lewis Spencer opened to 6,000 from under the gun, and was called by both players in the blinds.

But on 3♠3♣10♣, Spencer couldn't make a continuation bet as Brian Green in the small blind took the lead and bet 7,500. Kristen Foxen in the big blind folded.

Not impressed, Spencer raised to 19,000. But when the action came back to Green, he prepared his chips to three-bet to 47,500. It was too much for Spencer, who decided to fold.

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

After he was eliminated in 24th place from the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em earlier in the Day, Galen Hall was in the cutoff when he called an open by Christoph Vogelsang in early position.

Damian Salas in the small blind called too, and all three of them discovered a 3♥4♠6♥ flop. But they all decided to check.

On the turn 3♦, Salas checked and Vogelsang took 20 seconds out of the 30 allowed by the shot clock to bet 15,000. Hall took the same time to call and Salas folded.

The river card was the Q♣ and Vogelsang added 32,000 more chips in the pot. Hall gave up at this point and folded.

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kristen Foxen limped her small blind and Bill Klein checked his option. The flop rolled A♥K♣J♦ and both players tapped the table, peeling the 9♥. Foxen then tossed out a red chip for a 5,000 and Klein quickly folded.

Just moments before this hand, Klein saw Chris Brewer enter the field and he said, "Him, I want to play with that guy. He only won two bracelets so far this summer."

All in jest, or maybe not, Brewer asked Klein to keep his chips fresh for him.

Plenty of competitors have joined the ranks and a third table has been opened up.

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ognyan Dimov opened to 6,000 from under the gun after the dealer flashed the K♣. Steven Miranda and Kristen Foxen folded, and Gregory Jensen in the small blind called. The big blind was absent, so his hand went into the muck.

On 6♦7♦7♣, Dimov made a continuation bet of 4,000, and Jensen check-called. The turn 8♣ brought no more action as both players checked.

The Q♣ landed on the river and Jensen immediately looked at his stack and touched his chips to prepare a bet. He took two chips from his pile for a total of 26,000 and threw them in front of him. On the other side of the table, Dimov folded.
