Em uma das primeiras mãos, com o board de Jh-2c-2s-7s-4c e tendo mais de $20,000 fichas no pote, Jaime Gold pede all in com seus $25,850 (Já?!?). Tuan Le fica pensando por vários minutos antes de dar muck em sua mão, mas comenta que estava com K-K. Gold mostra então 6c-3d e fica com o pote. Que mané!
John Juanda e Phil Hellmuth chegam com quase uma hora de atraso, e Raj Patel, vencedor do Foxwoods Poker Classic, e Brian Townsend já foram eliminados (Caramba!).
O lider em fichas por enquanto é Lyle Berman com $84,000.
