Mullin All In 10 Times, Still Plugging Away
While dozens of tables have broken as hundreds of players hit the rail, Peter Mullin has remained in the same seat on Table 206 since cards first saw air. He started the day with 60,000 chips, and that's about what he has now. He told us that he'd been all in nine times and survived, then promptly made it ten. He moved all in for 45,000 or so under the gun, "because the media are here," and everyone folded.
"I'm all in, and never looked!" he announced, before showing the table .
The next hand there was a raise to 13,000, a button call and Mullin threw in most of the chips he'd just taken down. "Man calls minraise out of the big blind," quipped the preflop opener. All three players checked a flop. It checked to the button on the turn whose 25,000 bet took the pot.

Kennedy Stands as his All-In Fate Decided
Mike Kennedy (from Cleveland, as his avidly railing friends assert) has won a big pot with a flop shove that remained uncalled after a long, tense few minutes. The big blind led out for 70,000 on a rainbow board of . Over to Kennedy, who moved all in for 113,000 more, which started a tank from his opponent, who had less than 240,000 behind himself. Kennedy stood up behind his chair, his friends stood up straighter on the rail. Finally he won with no showdown, stacking a healthier 265,000 chips.
"You're just showing off because your friends were there," said Louise Francoeur (the table seems to be enjoying itself banter-wise). Said friends instantly received the benefit of a quiet run through of the hand on which the rest of the table struggled in vain to eavesdrop.

Donev and Hammersmith Feature on Entertaining Table 164
This event has seen many chat adepts keep their whole tables involved in hands whether their own chips are at risk or not. There's barely an ipod to be seen and after eight hour-long levels some rivalries and friendships have spiced up the action on tables that have kept a steady line-up.
John Hammersmith open-jammed all in for 106,000. Action folded to Ivo Donev, who was tapping at his phone (he received a telling-off from the dealer and swerved a player's joking suggestion that his hand should be dead). Phone down, he thought for a while, then said, "Jesus. Jesus - it's the first time I make a good laydown. Nines."
No one else called Hammersmith and he said, "Pocket threes," throwing his cards towards the dealer. They hit a stack of chips, however, and flipped over as to much hilarity.

Greenstein Sticking Around
It's been tough to catch Barry Greenstein in the act of playing a hand today, but he's booked a money finish in this event and currently sits with a 50-big-blind stack.
The legendary three-time bracelet winner did play a couple of consecutive small pots; the first saw Greenstein call a middle position open for 25,000 from the small blind, and check the flop. The opponent checked back, and Greenstein checked again on the turn. This time the middle position player put in a bet and Greenstein wasted no time folding.
Greenstein was on the button in the next hand, making an attempt to steal the blinds when the action folded to him. His 18,000 bet was three-bet all-in by the small blind, however, and Greenstein once again instantly folded.
