Rigoberto Rodriguez Has a Lot

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Rigoberto Rodriguez first encountered the reporters just before the dinner break as he was being moved from the Pavilion room to the orange section here in the Amazon room. He said they should come by to update his chip count.

Rodriguez is now sitting at the same table as Maxim Lykov, and he happened to be involved in a hand as the reporter approached.

Rodriguez was in the cutoff and playing against the player on the button. The flop was {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and Rodriguez check-folded to a 3,200-chip bet from the player on the button.

Pavilion Room Update

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

A lot of the players we've been following here today have been moved to the Amazon room. There are 22 tables left in this room and, as soon as there are more tables freed up after having been used by the Millionaire Maker event, there will be more and more tables moved into there.

Updated Counts From the Purple Room

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a sweep of the purple room, it appears Maurice Hawkins still leads the way in here. Chris Moorman was recently eliminated after hearing from the table that he had his pocket kings all in against pocket nines for a 65,000 chip pot and was two outed.
