Early Bird Special
Livello 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We caught up on the action with one player already all-in for his last 3,225 and Jose Carmelotes contemplating his next move. Holding 
, Carmelotes decided to make the call and put his opponent at risk in one of the last hands dealt before our dinner break. The other player tabled his 
and we were off to the races.
The door card was a queen but the flop fell 
to give Carmelotes a set of tens. The 
on the turn was a dramatic card, as now his opponent could make a full house on the river, but the 
offered no help and Carmelotes scored the knockout.
With a minute or so still showing on the tournament clock, another player at the table asked if he could leave for dinner. When the dealer told him there would be one more hand dealt before the break officially started, the player turned and left anyway, apparently too accustomed to his early-bird specials to risk arriving late.

Updated Chip Counts From Around the Room
Defending champion Harold Angle was found sitting directly next to chip leader Paul Gibbons, and perhaps the torch has been officially passed, with Angle extremely short stacked and Gibbons continuing to build his stack.
Susie Issacs appears to have become table captain and was spotted bullying her opponents with a 1,000 bet on a board reading 
. After forcing the fold, Issacs shot her cards towards the muck with a smile and gathered another yet another pot.

Defending Champ Doubles Up
Livello 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
The defending champion, Harold Angle got a much needed double up. He pushed all in from the button for his remaining 1,200 chips. The player from the small blind made the call and the player from the big blind pushed all in for over 5,000.
The player in the small blind tanked for a little and then folded his cards into the muck. Angle turned over 
and his opponent turned up .
The flop gave Angle a chance when it ran out

Kilgore Killin' Em Softly
Livello 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
A flop of 
was spread across the felt and Rick Kilgore had moved all-in for his last 3,000 chips. With the pot containing over 1,200 chips before this shove, his opponent felt committed and made the call, leaving himself with only 200 chips in reserve.
Showdown:
Kilgore: 
Opponent: 
Kilgore's flopped two-pair were in the lead against his opponent's flush draw, and when another player at the table commented that he had folded two clubs, Kilgore felt even more confident. The on the turn gave his opponent four more outs, as now any six or eight would give him a winning full house. Kilgore stood up and yelled "no club, no club!" as the dealer burned and turned.
River: 
Kilgore got his wish and doubled his stack to more than 8,000 with the win. His opponent was crippled after missing his draws and will likely have to wait until next year for another shot at a WSOP bracelet.
Folding Aces Preflop? Only At the Seniors Event
Livello 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We overheard a few players discussing an extremely interesting hand that occurred earlier in Day 1 action. Apparently, one player was holding 
and faced a raise, a reraise and a four-bet shove in front of him. Normally this is the type of situation that poker players only dream about, but for this particular competitor in the Seniors Event, something just didn't feel right.
According to the dealer involved, the player showed her his pocket rockets before throwing them into the muck. His remaining opponents showed and 
between them and after a king-high flop, the other man holding the best starting hand in hold'em hit the rail with bad beat story to take home.
The player responsible for making the mother of all laydowns later told the dealer that "he knew he was up against aces and kings," so in his estimation "he had no outs" if a king hit, and was merely playing for a chop if has hand held up. While folding pocket aces before the flop may redefine the term "unconventional play," the move worked out for this brave soul and he loved to fight another day.
Woe For Woody
Livello 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
The action began with two players limping from early position and a middle position player raising to 1,000. Charles "Woody" Moore called from small and both limpers folded.
Moore donked for 900 on the 
flop and his opponent flatted.
The turn brought a 
and Moore checked, prompting a 1,000 bet from his opponent. Moore shook his head dejectedly and mucked his hand.
Moore is sitting with 3,700.
