On Dinner BreakJun 30, '07 Perhaps Noah Boeken and Marcello Del Grosso are clairvoyant. While sitting in adjacent seats they were sharing a meal. It is possible both knew they would be busted out before the dinner break and wanted to get their meal in early. Boeken was the first to go as he moved all in with A Nick Frangos lost a race with pocket tens versus K-Q and was eliminated in 32nd place earning the same payout. Jennifer took a few hits this last level. Tilly first doubled through Klein Bach with Jacks up. Only a few hands later Bach moved all in under the gun, and groaned when Tilly re-raised all in to isolate him. She turned over A-K to his J-2. There was an Ace and a Jack on the flop, but the turn was the 2, making Bach his own Jacks-up to double up himself. On the next to last hand before the break, Joe Pelton exacted some revenge on Tilly, when he defended against her $35,000 raise from the big blind, and called her $47,000 continuation bet on the Q Eugene Todd was the last player eliminated before the dinner break. Joe Pelton raised to $35,000 from the cutoff, Todd re-raised all in, and Pelton called. Pelton showed A There are currently 30 players left on 4 tables. They will be on dinner break until 11pm.

Short BreakJun 26, '07 Level two of today's $2,000 Limit Hold 'Em event is now over and the players are on a 15 minute break. Official numbers have yet to be released but estimates are that the field is somewhere near 500. Few pros, low limits and very, very slow play make this tournament a stark contrast to the always exciting H.O.R.S.E tournament about to start it's third day of play at 2 p.m. Elsewhere on the European front Juha Helppi has $2,300 in chips, Rolf Slotboom has $4,800 and Jeff Kimber has $1,300 in chips. Roy 'The Boy Brindley has made his first appearance at thee Series and has $4,075 in chips. 'I haven't got a clue what i'm doing but as the game goes deeper it becomes more like pot-limit so that's when i can get involved then, use my chips and position. I had $8,000 a while ago and i've had Aces cracked twice on the river.'
