$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)
Blinds 150/300 Ante 50
On a flop of K♥T♠9♠, Will Failla got the last of his 21.5K chips in the middle. His opponent held T♥9♥ for bottom two but Failla held the stone cold nuts with a massive redraw with the Q♠J♠. The turn and river bricked out and Failla doubled up to approximately 45K. "I thought a ten or nine was coming," said Failla. Tablemate Eric Baldwin chimed in, "I was thinking running straight flush hearts." Failla laughed... "That's sadistic dude."
While roaming the tournament area, I had seen Phil Laak rebuy into the tournament. Five minutes later, he was leaving the tournament area. I walked over to his table and some players at the table said that he bluffed his stack off with king high. Laak will probably be back tomorrow, no doubt.
Players are about to go on a 75 minute dinner break in five minutes. There are 371 paid registrations thus far, just three from what we had on Day 1A last year. We'll resume coverage when they return.
