Rigoberto Rodriguez Has a Lot

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

Rigoberto Rodriguez first encountered the reporters just before the dinner break as he was being moved from the Pavilion room to the orange section here in the Amazon room. He said they should come by to update his chip count.

Rodriguez is now sitting at the same table as Maxim Lykov, and he happened to be involved in a hand as the reporter approached.

Rodriguez was in the cutoff and playing against the player on the button. The flop was {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and Rodriguez check-folded to a 3,200-chip bet from the player on the button.

Dinner Break

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

The players are now going for their 90-minute dinner break. All players from the Pavilion room have now been moved to the orange section, so the tournament is all in one room now.

Hensel Wins in a Back and Forth Hand

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Reed Hensel got it all in pre-flop versus an all in opponent with an effective stack of 14,450.

Hensel tabled {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and his opponent showed {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

The flop was {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Hensel flopped a set while his opponent was drawing to a queen and a gut shot straight draw. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Hensel's opponent made a straight. The river was the {9-Spades} and Hensel boated up with his full house and eliminating his opponent.

A Pavilion Room Chip Count

Updated Counts From the Gold Room

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Pavilion Room Update

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

A lot of the players we've been following here today have been moved to the Amazon room. There are 22 tables left in this room and, as soon as there are more tables freed up after having been used by the Millionaire Maker event, there will be more and more tables moved into there.

Updated Counts From the Purple Room

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a sweep of the purple room, it appears Maurice Hawkins still leads the way in here. Chris Moorman was recently eliminated after hearing from the table that he had his pocket kings all in against pocket nines for a 65,000 chip pot and was two outed.
