A Disturbing Breach of Etiquette
Nível 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
Every poker tournament presents countless opportunities for players to show their true colors, whether they are experiencing the ecstasy of victory or the agony of defeat, but a recent hand saw one player violate poker protocol in a number of troubling ways.
The commotion began when Rob Mason, a Pot-Limit Omaha host for the Players Casino in Ventura, California, took a flop of 
against a lone opponent. A series of bets and raises moved the player all in, and Mason snap-called in the dream situation, after his 
connected for quads.
When the opponent saw the bad news, he did the unthinkable, standing to throw his irrelevant 
at the dealer. The useless pocket pair fluttered in the air, before falling at the feet of another player.
"Card down!," announced the dealer, showing no emotion after the player's Gambit-style attack.
Still fuming after moving all in while drawing dead, the furious player then compounded his lapse in judgment, shoving his now decimated stack into the pot in more of a cannonball than a splash. He then stomped away from the table while the dealer, fellow players, and the floor staff worked to sort through the mess he had created.
When it was all said and done, the still miffed man was forced to return, as he had actually had Mason covered by a small amount.
"Everybody happy?," asked the dealer, once the pot was correctly divided and the chips directed to their rightful owners.
The irony of this question was not lost on the angry player, and he shook his head several times to show that he was anything but happy at the moment.

Just before break we caught the bust out of English pro Victoria Coren.
Before the flop Coren got her money in the middle and she was called by one other player. Just to her right, her English cohort Neil Channing wished her luck.
Coren: 
Opponent: 
The board ran out 
giving Coren no help to her hand and she was eliminated from the tournament just seven levels through the day.
"Unlucky," Channing said as Coren gathered her things to leave the Brasilia room.

You Nguyen Some, You Lose Some
Nível 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
On one of the last hands before the recent break, pro Kenny Nguyen got all of his chips into the middle holding 
, and he was in a fortuitous position against two opponents who both held 
.
Unfortunately for Nguyen, the final board rolled out with one of the dreaded big cards, and he was forced to ship half of his stack across the table to each opponent.
Nguyen stuck around to discuss the strategic implications of the hand, asking one of the winners if there was any way he could have moved him off the big slick. The player simply shook his head in the negatory, indicating that Nguyen was fated to lose this coin flip confrontation no matter what line he elected to take.

Three Pros, Two Pots, One Win, One Loss
Nível 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
Two small pots involving three pros saw Amanda Muscemi drop a few chips, while Jesse Sylvia snatch some of Robert Cheung's stack.
First, Muscemi watched the action fold around to her in the small blind, and after peeking down at her hand she tossed out a raise to 1,500. The big blind player took a look at his own holding, and after capping his cards he reraised to roughly 3,800. Muscemi shot the player an inquisitive look, before eventually mucking her hand.
Shortly thereafter, Jesse Sylvia led out for 1,500 on the 
flop, and fellow pro Robert Cheung released his hand after a moment of contemplation.
"Need a moment? Chew it over with Twix."
Nível 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
After a raise of 1,275 and two callers action was on Amanda Musumeci in the big blind who moved all in for 8,050 total. The original raiser folded and action was on the player in the big blind. Musumeci sat quietly eating a Twix bar while the player on the button made his decision. He tanked for a while before eventually tossing in the chips for the call, leading to a fold from the player in the small blind.
Musumeci: 
Button: 
As the hand's were being turned over the player on the button said, "I don't have much, but there's so much dead money in the pot." Upon seeing Musumeci's hand all he could muster was an "Oh."
The flop came down 
giving Musumeci a commanding lead. The turn 
left the button player drawing dead. The dealer dealt out the 
on the river giving the button player a meaningless four cards to a flush.
"The three was supposed to be a spade," he joked to Musumeci as he cut out the chips to double her up. With that, Musumeci is sitting on a much healthier stack.

Rosen Incognito For The Day
Nível 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
After going most of the day unnoticed, mostly because his attire had changed from his typical teal-blue sweater and hat, Jamie Rosen has made his presence known here in the Brasilia room. Rosen called us over to the table where he announced that he had some headlines for us.
"We're taking shots," he said. When asked where Rosen got all his chips he responded, "I've just been stealing blinds. That guy over there," he said pointing across the table, "I bluff all my big chips to him."
Either way Rosen has a good sized stack for this portion of the day, and now that we've found him in the field, we'll be able to give him a bit more coverage here on Day 1.

Robert's Rules
Nível 9
: 300/600, 75 ante
World Series of Poker bracelet holder Robert Cheung just took down a sizable pot with nothing but ace-high.
We caught the action with the flop reading 
, and Cheung facing a bet of 1,600 from a woman seated to his direct right. Cheung sized his opponent's stack up for a minute, before moving out a stack equal to 3,300 for a raise. The woman flatted, and both players tapped the table on the turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, both players checked once again, and Cheung appeared ready to muck if his opponent turned over anything at all. Unfortunately for the woman, her had bricked out, and Cheung smiled while tabling his 
for an unlikely winner.
