Zisimopoulos Lost

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

The board read {3-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and the players in the blinds had checked. Georgios Zisimopoulos, who ran deep in the MONSTER STACK yesterday, was sitting in the hijack and bet 3,150. The player in the small blind shoved all in, so did the player in the big blind. Zisimopoulos thought about it for a while and decided to call.

Big Blind: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Georgios Zisimopoulos: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The player in the big blind had hit a set of threes which was better than the kings of Zisimopoulos. The {Q-Spades} on the turn and the {2-Diamonds} on the river didn't change the situation and the player in the big blind eliminated both of his opponents. Zisimopoulos made his way to the cashier to pay for his reentry.

Barny Boatman
Barny Boatman

The board read {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Barny Boatman, the defending champion, had already bet 2,700 from the big blind in a sizable pot. The player on the button shoved all in to give Boatman a decision to make. He considered his options for a bit, tried to figure out what his opponent could have and then eventually called.

Button: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Barny Boatman: {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Spades}

Boatman's opponent had a bigger boat and the Brit was off to the cashier's desk to reenter.

Update on Numbers

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

There are currently 114 players left of a field of 166 as we approach the first break.

There have been 39 re-entries meaning that it is a unique field of 127.

Late registration is open for another four levels so plenty of time for the field to get close to and even exceed Day 1A's figure of 217.
