Anthony Gianfermi Wins a Huge Cooler
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
As we approached the table, Anthony Gianfermi and his heads-up opponent were tabling their hands.
Gianfermi's opponent had moved all-in and Gianfermi called. The board had a queen on the flop and a king on the turn. Gianfermi had pocket queens and his opponent, pocket queens.
Gianfermi scooped the pot and now sits with more than three times the starting stack.

Record-Setting Field and Climbing
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Today's field has just crossed the mark set in 2015 and is continuing to soar above it. The tourney clock currently displays 1,540 entries, breaking the record set in the inaugural event back in 2015.
Astonishingly enough, late registration remains open for about six more hours so surely the numbers will continue to rise.
A Few Early Shots From Around the Room
Ken Adams Busts Two Players; John Morgan One of Them
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Ken Adams is off to a great start early on Day 1. Adams was the beneficiary of two players' stacks when they each put their tourney lives on the line preflop.
Adams: 
Morgan: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out clean for Adams who actually rivered a set of queens, scoring the double elimination and adding a huge boost to his count.
