Tom Dwan has built a nice stack in the first two levels, just a hair under 12,000. He just left to begin his Day 2 of the $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better. He's above average, but outside the top ten leaders, with 201 players remaining.
We'll keep an eye on how his unmanned stack does today and let you know when he returns to play a few hands.
Jeffrey Papola and an unknown player each had 300 in before the flop came . Papola check-called 1,100 and the turn came . Both players checked and the river fell . Papola checked and the other player bet out 1,500.
Papola sat for a few moments, elected to call and mucked when his opponent tabled .
Jeffrey Papola raised to 300 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to the player in the big blind who made the call. The flop came out . The player in the big blind checked and Papola bet 250. His opponent made the call.
The turn brought the and both players checked. The hit on the turn and Papola's opponent checked. Papola bet 650 and his opponent made the call.
We found this developing on the river with Kunimaro Kojo all in on the river. The board read and the pot was around 7,000 already and Kojo had 3,500 for his opponent to call.
While watching the hand one of the players at the table told us that it was the second hand in a row where Kojo shoved on the river against the player on his right. He said, "He just keeps jamming it in there."
Kojo's opponent folded and it looks as if his neighbors are in for a long day.
Another flight of late register tables have gotten their card in the air. Joining the field are Tony Dunst, Dan Smith, Eric Mizrachi, Robert Mizrachi, Leo Wolpert, Justin Bonomo, Will Failla and Christian Harder.
A player under the gun +1 raised to 325 and Adam Levy reraised to 800 preflop. Action folded back around to the original raiser who put out enough chips to put Levy all in. Levy made the call.
Levy turned over and his opponent turned over .
The board ran out and both players chopped the pot.
All of the tables that started the event in the Amazon Room have been moved to tables in the Pavilion Room. The field is now spread throughout the Pavilion Room and the 14 or so tables located across from Buzio's.
Matt Affleck opened for 350 from the cutoff and the player in the small quickly three-bet to 1,100. The big folded and Affleck tanked for a bit, staring his opponent down. He eventually flicked his cards toward the dealer.
Even with the small loss, it appears Affleck has done well for himself thus far, as he currently sits with 8,100.
