Livello 5
: 200/400, 0 ante
Fans of the affable Las Vegas local Tobin Banks would be pleased to know that "Memphis" is now back up to 6,000 in chips after taking a huge chunk of change off an opponent over on Ted Forrest's table.
Banks and three other players came in to a see a flop of 
; the small blind led out and the big blind called, as did the player in the UTG +1 position before Banks raised from the hijack. Only the small blind and the UTG +1 player called, so it was three-way action to the turn of the 
.
The small blind and UTG +1 player checked, Banks bet again and this time only the small blind called, before he check-called Banks' bet when it was heads-up on the river 
.
Banks showed down 
for the flopped straight and the small blind mucked his hands. In a bizarre twist, the small blind player, who is sitting on almost 20,000 in chips, didn't want to be named! However, we can give you a few more that were more than willing, including Sammy Elkassir (19,800) Joe Sebok (20,300) and Daniel Ospina (24,800).

Daniel Negreanu was recently moved to a table by the rail and has developed quite a fan base standing around and taking pictures.

: 200/400, 0 ante
Limit hold'em is one of those games where you're usually hard-pressed to find any action as a reporter. This is indeed the case here in the Pavillion, but we can tell you that a few more big names have showed up.
Tom Dwan, who had just recently busted from Event #5, has now taken his seat on table 29. We've also spotted Ted Forrest and American Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mericer.
We've also been advised by the floor staff that the number of entries and prize pool are being finalized; we'll have those numbers up for you soon.
