“Get over here and look at this!” the 6-seat yelled to anyone who would listen.
Sitting in the middle of the table were his pocket Aces which he picked up on the first hand of the tournament in the big blind only to get a walk at his short-handed table. “I won’t see aces again this tournament.”
The field is slowing filing in and 71 players are currently showing on the tournament clock. Still 3 levels of registration and re-entry for those on their way to The Poker Room at Seminole Hard Rock.

While most of the tables spend a good amount of their table bickering of who gets what part of the pot, Table 41 has turned into the Old Poker Club. A pleasant distraction while the chips are being passed around as a group of old friends have been put at the same table.
“Remember when…” is the opening line to several funny stories while they needle each other about lost hair and gained waste lines. The two young guys at the table are trying to keep up with them but they are rookies in the talking game. The chatter around the room as just as entertaining as the play.
Four tables remain as the break and casually move the entire field to the far corner of the room with the aim to play down to a winner this evening.

The field is down to five tables with the last elimination on Table 39 to get us to 45 remaining. The kindly, quiet gentleman was all-in preflop and heads up for a nice change of pace. He was holding 
versus 
and looking for tournament salvation.
The flop came 
to give him him Aces up but the 
gave his opponent with a set. A flush would save is day but the 
river was the wrong club and he took the trip downstairs. Staff broke a table and now the final five tables are back to 9-handed play.

Players are starting to drop out of the tournament after getting low on chips and taking a shot. The 6-seat at Table 38 was left with just 1,400 after getting scooped and found a hand to go with the next deal. The betting was capped before the 
board and he was all-in on the flop.
Three players checked down the turn and river and the 6-seat turned over a premium 
starting hand for Aces up and busted wheel draw. The 2-seat tabled 
for trip Kings and the scoop. Four other players have been shown the door leaving 48 of the starting 53 still in action.
