Stephen Lutz Lucks Out With the Best Hand
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We noticed Stephen Lutz exhaling in relief, while a huge pot was pushed his way, and with his 
displayed proudly in front of him it was apparent that his pocket rockets had prevailed.
Apparently Lutz got his chips in the middle against a larger stack's 
, and when the board rolled out queen-high with no jacks to be found, his aces were good enough for the double.
When asked for his information after the hand, Lutz let us know that he felt fortunate to have his aces hold up, saying "it must be a major news story when aces hold up, huh?"
Baldwin Shot Down
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We got a few details on the elimination of Steve Baldwin, which happened last level with 100/200 blinds and no ante. After a player had limped from early position, the most active player at table raised to 600.
"Dad shoved for 2,400 on the button with 
," WSOP bracelet winner Eric Baldwin said. The raiser called with 
offsuit and the flop came down 
. Neither the turn nor river helped Papa Baldwin and he was sent to the rail.

Like Son Like Father
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We came up to the table with a 
flop on the board and Scott Shorr, the button, bet 300. The big blind called and another player folded to the bet.
The big blind led out on the 
turn and Shorr called.
The river 
did not slow down the action, as the big blind bet 1,750 and Shorr called quickly tabling 
for two pair. It was good enough to win the pot and the big blind slid his hand into the muck.

Jim Silvera Shines in the Silver State
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
A native of Santa Rosa, California, amateur player Jim Silvera made the trip to Nevada expressly compete in the Seniors Championship, but his day almost came to an end when he ran 
into before the flop.
With all of his chips in the middle, and his hand utterly crushed, Silvera needed help in a hurry, but the 
flop left him lacking. The 
on the turn was also a swing and miss for Silvera, and he was down to two outs with one card to come.
River: 
With the unlikely suckout on the river, Silvera earned the double up and retook his seat, thankful to have been given a second lease on life here the Seniors Championship.

Three-Way All-In Action
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
The rising blinds are starting to force some shorter stacks into action. After five levels of play, the tournament has already lost over half of its 4,407 entrants. And sometimes a cooler helps the action along a bit too.
We came upon a recent hand after the dealer spread 
for the flop. Gary Wilson moved all in for his last 4,350. The next player to raised all in as well, and then Nick Werly moved over the top for all his chips. The last player in the hand went into the tank for a minute before reluctantly folding, and the players revealed their cards. Werly held , Wilson held 
, and the other player held 
. Werly and Wilson had both flopped a straight, and Wilson had a backdoor flush draw to boot. Their opponent, meanwhile, had flopped a set and was looking for the board to pair. The turn and river failed to improve any player. Werly had the most chips at won the side pot, and he and Wilson split the main pot.

Shorr Railing Shorr
Shannon Shorr is currently on Day 2 of Event #24: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em but before his event started and on his breaks, he has been in the Brasilia Room railing his dad, Scott. Scott Shorr was short early on but is solidly building his stack back up.
Jump the Shark
Nível 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We noticed Kerry Karoutsos drag a pot his way, and after a quick count we determined the owner of Blue Shark Optics has built his stack to over 13,000 midway through the day.
With his trademark mirrored shades protecting him from the prying eyes of his tablemates, Karoutsos has steadily increased his stack with a combination of preflop patience and postflop aggression. We will be sure to track his progress throughout Day 1, as the official eyewear provider of the WSOP tries to take down his first gold bracelet.
