Jean-Robert Bellande is in the tournament, but which table he is assigned to is anyone’s guess. He spent the majority of the first level walking around the tournament area and laying odds to everyone on a last longer bet. He got some takers, while others had other things to say to Bellande. “You’re too loud,” Chau Giang said. “There are no cameras on you and you are making my ears hurt!” “You can’t win a last longer if you’re not in your seat baby,” Scotty Nguyen said. Bellande didn’t seem to hear either of them as he kept looking for takers. Player Tags: Tom Franklin, John D'Agostino, Tom Schneider, Jean-Robert Bellande, Yuval Bronshtein, David Baker |

Matusow said after the hand he showed Lind a 7-4-2. After the players received their cards, Lind led out with 325. Matusow immediately popped it to 2,000.

Minieri then pushed all in for the rest of his chips and Alioto called. Minieri stood pat after Alioto decided to draw one card. “What do I have to beat?” Alioto asked. Minieri turned over 10-9-5-3-2 while Alioto showed the four cards he kept, 8-7-5-2. Alioto then sweated his card and flipped over the 6 Left In The Deck: How Many Will There Be? Registration is set to close at the start of level three. The board reads 82 entrants and has been climbing. The players will have a 20-minute break after level two, during which registration will stay open. Last year’s total number was 96 so the final number could get very close or even surpass last year’s number by the time level three begins.
