Jean-Robert Bellande limped under the gun and was followed by the player in the hijack. The cutoff then raised to 100, both blind called, and the two limpers came along for the ride. It was five-way action to the 
, which all players checked.
When the 
hit the turn, action checked to the cutoff and he fired out 450. The small blind folded, the big blind called, and Bellande raised pot. From there, the hijack folded, the cutoff called off for 825, and the big blind reluctantly got out of the hand.
Bellande: 
Cutoff: 
Bellande held the nut straight, but in order to scoop he needed to avoid a qualifying low card on the river as well as a diamond. Lucky for him, the 
paired the board and he took down the entire pot, leaving the cutoff to use his two remaining rebuy chips.
Bellande is up to 5,300.

Jim "MrBigQueso" Collopy just sat down as we near the end of Level 1. He would have been sitting to the left of John Racener, but Racener has joined the ranks of those who have already busted within the first hour of play.
"Your stack has done better than three people already," said one player in greeting Collopy. Indeed, they were down to five-handed there momentarily before his arrival.
Livello: 2
Bui: 25/50
Ante: 0
Quite a few spectators have gathered along the back rail here in the Pavilion room. They're currently watching both Daniel Negreanu and Greg Raymer, who're are seated at two separate tables on the rail. Interestingly, they're seated in Seat 1 and Seat 9 respectively, meaning they are facing their fans. This had made for some fun interactions, much to the delight of the railbirds.
On the other side of the room, Erick Lindgren has taken his seat at Humberto Brenes' table, which will no doubt make for some fun antics . . . provided they're both able to survive.

After watching the tables during this first hour of play, it's clear that some have decided to pick up the action and put a lot of chips in the pot while others have not. Obviously, some like John Racener have already busted, but many of the big names in the field are within only a few hundred plus or minus their starting stack. One player whose table has decided to take the fast and loose approach is Jean-Robert Bellande. Bellande got himself going in chips early but his since given a few back.
In this particular hand, an under-the gun player raised it up to 75, a late position player re-raised to 250, and he got calls from the hijack, Bellande in the big blind, and the initial early position raiser.
The flop came down 
and all four players checked. The turn was the 
and Bellande bet out 500. The early position player called and the other two folded. The river came 
and both players checked.
The early position player showed 
for jacks and tens to scoop the pot. Bellande is back down to 4,000, but with such a volatile table, he could easily be way back up in the next few minutes

With the board showing , a player in middle position checked, Robert Mizrachi bet 500, and his opponent called. The came on the turn, and Mizrachi's opponent checked again. This time Mizrachi bet 1,500, more than what his opponent (who has yet to use the two add-ons) had left behind. He called with his remaining chips.
Mizrachi showed 
and his opponent 
-- both had aces and fours and no low as yet. The 
on the river didn't change things, and the pair chopped the pot.
Mizrachi, who did take the add-ons, has about 3,900 with which to play at the moment.
On our most recent pass through the tournament area, we discovered Blair Rodman has joined the same table as Erick Lindgren and Humberto Brenes. In a recent hand, an early-position (EP) player raised to 250 and was called by the button and Brenes in the small blind. Rodman was in the big blind and opted to move all in for his sack of 850.
The EP player then went all in for 2,325, the button moved all in, and Brenes folded from the small blind.
Rodman: 
EP: 
Button:
The 
flop was kind to the button, flopping him two pair; however, both EP and Rodman had plenty of outs. The 
turn gave Rodman the nut low, but the 
river quickly counterfeited him. The button's two pair was good enough to take the high, while he and Rodman chopped the low. In other words, Rodman got quartered.
The button collected the side pot and three-quarters of the main pot, while Rodman barely increased his stack to 975; although, he does have both rebuy chips remaining.

*Through Event #45
We came in on a flop of 
when an early position player bet out 200. Two players folded to Kathy Liebert on the button and she made the call.
The turn came and the early position player bet out 600. Liebert instantly made the call and the two saw the river . The early position player put his last 300 in the pot and Liebert made the call.
Liebert showed 
for the nut-low and top pair with the eight. The early position player also had 
and got a quarter of the pot while Liebert took the rest and moved up to 5,000.
