Carlos Mortensen has been known to construct some extravagant chip towers when he is making runs in tournaments, and we could be in for another treat today. We just went by his table, and he is already building a mini tower with his 1,000 orange chips, and by our counts, he's the chip leader at 170,000. We will be sure to snap a photo if Mortensen starts adding revolving doors or fountains to his chip tower.
Darren Woods was just all in for around 5,000 preflop holding against the of his opponent. The flop wasn't much help to Woods, but the turn gave him some more outs.

Late in play yesterday, it appeared as though a short-stacked Erik Cajelias was all in preflop with against an opponent’s and doubled up to around 4,500. We didn’t catch what he ended the day with but were shocked to see that the chip counts had him starting today at 87,000! So before play started, we ventured over to his table to check his bag and there must have been some sort of error because he only had 8,700.
Anyways, Cajelais is certainly making a push towards that 87,000 now. We caught up with the action on a flop where Cajelias got check-raised by his opponent who was UTG. Cajelais made it three bets and the player called. On the turn, UTG bet and Cajelais just called. But when the hit the river, Cajelias re-raised his opponent’s bet and the player made the call.
