With the

Level 3: 75/150
As we arrived at the table, Andrew Klivan (Miami, FL) had pushed all-in on a 
board with Miguel Buenafe (West Seneca, NY) having already bet the turn. Buenafe asked for a count and then made the call.
Klivan flips over for the straight and Buenafe responds with “Pocket fours? Really?” and turns over his 
to also show a straight with the same hand.
Klivan who said he’d only won one hand to that point today was not pleased with the chop but stays alive in Event 9.

Level 1: 25/50
A surprise entrant in the Seniors Event is TJ Shulman. He skipped the first day of The $1,000,000 guaranteed Event 8 to play cash games but was in the room early getting ready for Flight 1C. Then he ran into a friend on the way to the cage.
“He offered me a prop bet,” Shulman explained, “and odds I couldn’t turn down.”
Shulman’s friend bet he couldn’t final table the Seniors Event with maximum of two entries. He didn’t think Shulman could resist the temptation of the big prizepool tournament on the other side of the room. If he does make the Seniors final table, he’ll have some juggling to do in order to take a shot at Event 8 as well.
