It was all to quiet on table 440 so we expected Sam Grafton might be active in a hand. We rushed over to see that the ever so chatty Sam Grafton was indeed involved in a big hand. The player under-the-gun plus one had shoved his short stackof about 8,000 in. Two positions down Sam Grafton had done the same from the hijack. Paul Varano in the small blind seemed interested as well and as soon as he learned it was 35,500 for which Grafton had shoved all in, he announced to put all his chips in as well. The big blind folded and three players at the 7-handed table showed their hands:
| Paul Varano |  |
| Sam Grafton |  |
| Under-the-gun plus one |   |
While Grafton had the best hand with the nines, that all would change after the flop: 
. The short stack was drawing dead and Grafton was left drawing to two outs. The 
on the turn and 
on the river were no help for Grafton who was already shaking hands with Taylor Paur; "At least you didn't get my chips" the ever cheerful Grafton laughed. He wished the rest of the table good luck and made his way to the pay out desk.

Taylor Paur is of to a good start so far. With a little more than an hour of play so far today, he has already doubled the 30,000 he began with. Just now we saw him open to 3,200 under-the-gun plus one. He received two callers; the hijack position and the big blind came along. The big blind checked on 
and Paur continuation-bet 4,900. The hijack made the call, the big blind folded. Both players checked on the on the turn. The river brought out the and Paur bet, what looked like, 10,400. The hijack gave it some thoughts but eventually folded.

As one of our chip leaders coming into the day, Dan Martin is keeping up the pressure. Here is an example:
Action folded to Dan Martin on the button who raised to 2,500. He found one caller, Kevin Jensen, from the big blind.
Jensen led for 3,000 on the 
flop and Martin called.
Martin called Jensen's 6,000 turn bet.
Jensen again led on the river and Martin made his move by announcing all in. Jensen reluctantly let his hand go.

From early position Loni Harwood had opened the action with a raise to 2,500. Two seats behind her Craig Jenkins had bumped it up to, what appeared 5,800. Action folded around back to Harwood who cut out a raise. Before we could count exactly how much she had made it (which looked like 11,000 or 12,000) Jenkins had already announced all in and Harwood had already called.
Craig Jenkins showed 
while Harwood tabled . The 
flop had some backdoor possibilities for Jenkins but the on the turn left him only a nine to hit. The on the river was no help for Jenkins and Harwood could start stacking. It took her two hands to build her stack up; neatly stacked in 40 high towers she now has just short of 100,000 in chips.
