Title: Introductions Begin
Log: Tournament Director Johnny Grooms has taken the microphone and begun introducing the players to the crowd. The ESPN stage is packed with spectators, and the crowd is likely to grow once play begins. The cards should be in the air within ten minutes.

Hand 12 - Nguyen has the button in seat 1, Raymer raises to $40,000, and Ulliott calls. We have the first flop of the day! The flop comes 8d-7d-3h, and both players check. The turn card is the 5c, Ulliott bets $60,000, and Raymer stares him down from behind his trademark specs with the unblinking reptilian eyes. Raymer then counts out the chips and makes the call. The river card is the 10s, Ulliott bets $80,000, and Raymer calls. Raymer shows pocket sixes, and Ulliott mucks his cards. Raymer wins the pot.

Lee has the button in seat 7, Raymer limps from the small blind, and Seif checks his option. The flop comes Ah-5d-3d, Raymer checks, Seif bets $20,000, and Raymer calls. The turn card is the 8h, Raymer checks, Seif bets $50,000, and Raymer calls. The river card is the 8c, Raymer checks, Seif pushes all in for about $185,000, and Raymer calls. Seif shows 4-2 for a flopped straight, while Raymer shows A-10. Mark Seif doubles up.

what a crappy open complete.

I expect the AT hand to be discussed a lot on the upcoming days.

He's still close or tied to the chip lead though, even after doubling up Seif. So if he knocks out Seif on a counterfeited two pair/flush draw/worse ace he has 40% of the chips in play and enough stack power to run the table over.

Steve Carter Doubles Up Through Greg Raymer
Log:
Hand 41 - Gazes has the button in seat 6, Carter raises all in for $67,000, and Raymer calls. Carter shows Kc-10h, while Raymer has Js-7s. The flop comes As-10d-8h, and Carter makes a pair of tens to hold onto the lead. Raymer can catch a nine, a jack, or a runner-runner flush to eliminate Carter. The turn card is the 6d, and Raymer is down to seven outs. The river card is the 2c, and Steve Carter has doubled up in chips.

ouch

I like all the calls except the open complete. There is no reason to think he is not ahead with TPGK.

My style is to rarely make an open complete, and I don't see any reason to ever do it with AT.

A very fine showing for Greg. How much money did he win? Congratulations to Fossilman!
