Level 10: 500/1000/100 Ante

“Miami” John Cernutto has been fighting for his tournament life for the past few levels.  But he finally caught a break on a board.  Having checked off the turn, his opponent checked the river and Cernutto quickly pushed his remaining stack of around 20k into the middle forcing the fold and getting him back to around 40,000.

While John has survived, the rest of the field has not.  At this point we are already down to 45 players approximately halfway through to today’s scheduled end time of 11 PM ET.  At this rate, it may be a very small returning field for tomorrow’s Day 2.

Level 8: 300/600/75 Ante

Sometimes not falling back on stereotypes is hard as we found out in the Seniors event.

One player actually questioned the tournament director at the start of the break if they players could go take a nap .  The tournament director then jokingly got on the mike and offered the players the option of napping if they so chose.  Lots of laughs, ooohs and aahhhs came out from the players getting ready to leave the room.

Sometimes the oldies are the goodies.
