"Whose that guy getting a massage? He seems familiar." said Neil Channing pointing to the nearby table of death.
"McLean Karr," we replied, "He won the WPT at Bay 101 in March."
Channing burst out laughing, "Yes, I played him in the heads-up about 48 hours ago, I really should know what he looks like."
He then added, "There's my live pro observational skills for you."
Double up for Freddy Deeb just now (to 41k) as a flop of
set him off on collision course with Andrew Teng. Deeb had check-raised Teng's 1,100 on the flop to a red-chip-plus-100 which could have been anywhere from 3,100 to 5,100 (I missed the actual throw in of the flop raise), but the ball was back in Teng's court. He thought for a long time, chip threading all the while, before throwing in 12,000. Deeb's entire remaining stack was 15k, so this was effectively an all-in question he was asking.
"I don't know..." pondered Deeb, "It's early." Pause. "I'm all in."
Teng made that hand flip sign of the committed to call, but not happy about it, showing down
to Deeb's
. The Aces held over the
turn and river and Teng is down to 13,300.
Mohsin Charania, who I'm reliably informed stakes more people than Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was just involved in a pot, his lead for 8,000 on the river of an 



board check-raised to 22,000. With 25,000 behind, Charania decided to let it go.
With Neil Channing one seat along, we could soon see a battle of the stakers develop before the end of the day.
Jennifer Tilly raised from middle position and Freddy Deeb called from the small blind. The big blind reraised to 3,200 and Tilly folded. Deeb came along to see the flop.
The flop came down 

and Deeb check-called 1,200 from the big blind. The turn brought the
and both players checked.
The river completed the board with the
and Deeb fired a small 700. His opponent raised to 5,500 and Deeb folded.
Deeb is back down to 32,600 now.
In a battle of the blinds (and the Dans), Dan Heimiller limped in from the small, and Dan Shak raised to 1,100 from the big. Heimiller called, and a big pot would brew from there.
The flop came
with two spades, and Heimiller led out into the pot with 1,200 chips. Shak promptly raised to 3,500 total, and Heimiller called. The board paired with another
on the turn, and Heimiller check-called another 6,000.
The river came a
, and Heimiller knocked the table again. Shak set him all in for about 12,000 total, and the other Dan tanked for a long while before making the call for his tournament life.
Shak rolled over
, and he immediately apologized to Heimiller. "Sorry, Dan. I know you had a four. Just..." he trailed off as Heimiller gathered his coat, wished everyone luck, and disappeared off into the masses.
Barry Greenstein check-called the flop of 

for 4,600 from his opponent. They both then checked the turn when the
fell to see the
fall on the river. Greenstein fired out 4,500 and his opponent folded. Greenstein's now on 26,00 chips.
With the board reading
, it was checked to Andrew Robl on the button who fired a solitary 1k yellow chip into the middle.
William Reynolds made the call and a third player folded. Reynolds declared, "I have ace-high," but Robl turned over a rivered full house holding of
.
Reynolds admitted, "I thought my ace-high was better than your ace-high..."
Richard 'Chufty' Ashby, who has final-tabled the WCOOP and actually brought his laptop to play online if he needed, has just taken a hit on a tough table. He's seated between JP Kelly, Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Antonio Esfandiari and just now paid off November Niner John Dolan in a sizeable pot.
The board was reading
and Ashby had checked the river across to his opponent who bet 7,600 with the 2010 Stud bracelet winner making a reluctant call only to see the rivered two pair holding of his opponent,
which took the pot.
