The Buzio's Contigent

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

The 2014 World Series of Poker takes place in the convention center of the Rio All-Suite Casino in Las Vegas. The sprawling complex is actually located out back of the Rio and is connected by a long hallway. It really is its own little world.

Occasionally, that world gets too big for its britches, such as here on Day 1c, when the field was so large that a spillover area was needed. That spillover area, which is located near the Rio — up the hall, past the Penn & Teller Theater, and just beyond Hash House A-Go-Go — is known as Buzio's. That's because the area, which is comprised of twelve poker tables, is just outside the Rio's seafood restaurant Buzio's. Makes sense, right?

Anyway, this area, while necessary, is a little inconvenient, especially when it comes to tournament reporting. As such, the players there haven't received as much love as those in the Amazon, Pavilion and Brasilia Rooms. In an attempt to pacify those players, we took a stroll through the Buzio's section where we discovered a half dozen notables, none with more chips than Daniel Alaei.

Alaei, who was sitting on around 100,000, was kind enough to tell us of a big hand that helped him chip up. As he told it, he held and defended from the big blind after the player on the button had raised. The flop was kind to Alaei, and he ended up check-raising the button's bet of 1,000 up to 3,300. A call was made and Alaei led out for 5,800 on the turn. The button called, and then Alaei moved all in when a river gave him a full house.

The button had about 18,000 back and called off with for trips. Alaei's boat was good, and that set him on the right path toward a prosperous Day 1c.

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We found Phil Hellmuth with 4,000 in front of him in a large pot, the flop reading . His opponent thought for awhile before raising to 11,000.

Hellmuth pulled out his headphones, exaggerated a shrug, then put them back in. He leaned back and forward in his seat several times and rechecked his cards before mucking them.

"They're throwing their money at me, Shannon," he told the dealer. "It's only a matter of time. Just don't put a bad beat on me. Every single tournament I enter..."

"You were never ahead," Hellmuth's opponent said confidently.

Portaro Building Into Six Figures

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Back in Australia, Bruno Portaro is known as somewhat of a loose cannon. Not because he's a perceived donkey or anything of that nature, but just that Portaro likes to have fun when he plays poker by mixing it up and playing an array of hands.

Although Portaro has no results on this side of the Pacific Ocean, he has amassed over AU$210,000 in lifetime earnings from 31 cashes although the majority of his time is spent on the cash game tables.

With Portaro traveling out to Las Vegas for the last few years to play the WSOP, he spends time with his family and enjoys the sights, but always makes time to play the Main Event.

Today, Portaro chipped up early, and after getting moved from his starting table, he proceeded to flop top set holding . His opponent barreled into him, and when Portaro raised the river he couldn't find a call from his opponent. Still, he consequently raked in the pot, sending his count over the 100,000-chip mark.

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Michael Nelson, the most inebriated player in the room, has just left the Amazon Room in search for perhaps a better bar to drink in.

Nelson moved all in before the flop for about 21,000 chips and James Oliver moved all in over the top, getting the other players to fold.

"Turn your cards over," the dealer told Nelson, who flipped over the .

Nelson grunted.

"Turn both your cards over," the dealer continued as Nelson smiled before he showed the .

Oliver showed and was well in the lead, but it seemed like most players were rooting for Nelson to stay in to give themselves a chance to win some of his chips.

The board ran out and Nelson was knocked out.

"I won!" Nelson yelled.

"He's got you covered," the dealer told Nelson, who shrugged.

"Well, good luck with it," Nelson said, as the dealer began dealing the next hand.

All players except for Nelson were being dealt into the next hand, as he remained seated at the table.

"We gonna smoke now, black?" Nelson yelled over to Maurice Hawkins, who was at his former table in the Pavilion Room.

Hawkins laughed and smiled, and as Nelson finally left the room he said, "Where ever that guy gets his money, there's probably a lot more!"
