Any word on how Jamie is faring today?

[/ QUOTE ]

Per PokerNews, Jamie is scheduled to play 1D, not today. He's there to watch his mom and someone else (way too lazy to look it up, it's on PN if you're interested).

Thanks, I thought he was playing today (since I heard the story about his not having ID to get into the Amazon Room.)

Simon 'Aces' Trumper Survives Quad Jacks

With the board showing {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts} on the turn, a player bets 5,000, and Simon 'Aces' Trumper calls. The river card is the {K-Hearts}, and the first player bets 7,000. Trumper thinks for a bit, saying, "There's only one hand that beats me here." He thinks a little longer, and simply calls, leaving himself 2,000 in chips as he shows {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} for top full house on the river.

Most people would have put their last 2,000 in the pot there, but Trumper's read was correct, as his opponent shows {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for quad jacks.

Trumper is down to 2,000, but most players in his situation would already be headed for the exit.

If this is accurate...Greatest read of all times?

Wait i'm looking at the chip counts and I see the name Rep Porter.

1,545 players began their Main Event quest today. 1,606 are registered to play tomorrow (Day 1C) and with the exception of emergency cases, everyone else from this point forward who decides to pony up the $10K for a shot at immortality will be required to start play on the newly-added Day 1D.

So, we're looking at around 6,000 players total for this year's Main Event. That is of course significantly fewer players than last year, but still a staggering $60 million prize pool.

Alan Smurfit Hits A Flop

In a five-way pot Alan Smurfit led out for 500 after the {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, and when another player raised to 1,000 it chased out the other limpers. After Smurfit called, he and his opponent both checked the {7-Clubs} on the turn. The {3-Hearts} arrived on the river and Smurfit bet 3,500. "That's a big bet," his opponent said before deciding to make the call with pocket tens. Smurfit turned over A-8 for trips and took the pot.

Overacting Can Invoke the Wrath of the Poker Gods
An early-position player raises, Roland De Wolfe reraises 1,800 more from middle position, and the first player thinks for a moment. He holds his cards out as if he is about to muck, and asks De Wolfe, "Will you show me your hand?" De Wolfe says he will. The other player says, "Show me one card," and De Wolfe says he will, but only after the other player folds. The first player apparently changes his mind, and says, "All in."

De Wolfe calls, showing TT. His opponent shows AA, and it was all a big Hollywood routine to entice action from De Wolfe.

But the poker gods did not think kindly of his actions. The board came QTK99, and De Wolfe cracks the aces with a full house, tens full of nines, busting the other player.

Roland De Wolfe is up to 50,000 in chips, and he's smiling.
