Only One Shulman Left
Nível 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
We stopped by to check on Allyn Jaffrey Shulman. After scouring the Brasilia and Pavilion Rooms we couldn't locate her husband Barry. Shulman regretfully informed us he already busted but it is good to know she is growing a healthy stack on her way to defend her title.

Varkonyi Building a Stack
Nível 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Robert Varkonyi has been steadily adding to his stack. The 2002 main event champion has been successfully risking very little and picking his spots carefully. We recently observed him pick up blinds with a button raise, and almost an orbit later, he raised from the big blind over a couple of limpers. In both hands, Varkonyi won the pot with no opposition, and he is now up to 7,000 in chips.

Former Main Event Champions Showing Off for the Seniors
Nível 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Among the sea of seniors spread around the Rio here today, there are a number of decorated professionals plying their trade.
We saw a pair of former Main Event winners each take down a pot using standard postflop aggression.
First, Robert Varkonyi opened to 400 from under the gun, receiving calls from two other players. On the 
flop, the 2002 WSOP Main Event Champion led out with a bet and his willingness to continue earned him the pot.
It was Tom McEvoy's turn next, and the winner of the 1983 WSOP Main Event showed that he still has some moves. McEvoy opened for 450 in early position, and after the big blind called the flop fell 
. Both players tapped the table, and the 
dropped on the turn, prompting McEvoy to fire a bet of 450 into the pot.
His opponent quickly called, as he did McEvoy's bet of 400 on the 
river. The player rolled over 
for top pair/top kicker, but McEvoy revealed the 
for two pair on the turn, using Varkonyi's favorite hand from his 2002 run to win a decent pot midway through the first day of play.

Quack Quack
Nível 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Paul "X-22" Magriel is playing today. Magriel is a championship backgammon player and created the "M Principle" which uses the ratio of stack size to antes and blinds to help establish a player's strategy in certain stages of a tournament.
He has been known to shout "Quack Quack" when betting but we didn't hear it during the following hand:
The board read 
and Magriel led from the big blind for 625 and Dewey Jones raised from middle position to 1,350 which Magriel called. Magriel checked the 
and eventually folded after Jones went all in.

Faces From The Field
Mark Dunbar Let's Loose
Nível 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
We heard an especially loud cheer erupt from the Brasilia Room's Red section, and headed that way in hopes of finding a memorable hand.
Instead, we found Mark Dunbar excitedly stacking his new chips, and during a dealer change we caught up with the Minnesota native to find out what had caused all the commotion.
Expecting to hear a story involving quads overcoming a set, or perhaps a one-outer on the river, instead we found out that Dunbar had simply won a small pot by forcing his opponent to fold.
"It was the first win of the day," said Dunbar. "I was just happy that I'm not going home without winning a pot."
Although his tablemates jokingly called for the floor to assess a penalty for excessive celebration, Dunbar's outburst was taken in stride by his fellow seniors, each of whom is just as excited to be playing here on poker's premier stage. With a victory in a 2010 Heartland Poker Tour event to his credit, to the tune of $182,100, we expect Dunbar to be dragging more pots his way as this Day 1 progresses.
