There is just one more table left inside the poker room. With 210 players remaining, the entire field is guaranteed to begin play inside the Fontana Lounge tomorrow afternoon and they will start play, nine handed.

There is still 45 minutes left in the tournament clock so we'll see if the field can get under the 200 player mark before play ends for the day.

Bah wee Freddy Deeb is out. I like wee Freddy.

Anna Wroblewski Misreads Lamar Wilkinson

After a flop of KJ8, John Esposito checks from the small blind, Anna Wroblewski bets 3,500 from the big blind, and Lamar Wilkinson raises to 11,000 (leaving himself about 40K behind). Esposito folds, and Wroblewski tanks for about two minutes (265,000 behind) before she calls.

The turn card is the 5, and Wroblewski thinks for a bit before she checks. Wroblewski bets 15,000, and Wroblewski tanks for a while before she puts out a big stack to cover Wilkinson. He immediately calls for 40,400 with KJ for top two pair. Wroblewski shows J8 for a lower two pair, and she needs an eight on the river to bust Wilkinson here.

The last card is the A, and Lamar Wilkinson wins the pot with two pair, kings and jacks, building his stack to about 110,000. Anna Wroblewski drops down to about 225,000.

Wroblewski said, "I don't know why I was so stupid. I thought you had a flush draw or king-queen." Wilkinson laughed and said he had been stupid as well, but of course, he now has more than 100,000 in chips to comfort him.

Mark Seif Has a "Hand of the Day"

This hand happened during the last level, with the blinds at 500-1,000 (100 ante).

After several players limp into a pot, Mark Seif raises from late position to 5,500, and the player on his left reraises to 27,500. Everyone else folds, Seif calls, and the flop comes Q33. Seif's opponent moves all in for about 35,000, and Seif calls with KQ for two pair, queens and threes (Seif has his opponent covered by 40K or so). His opponent shows A-K, and is looking for an ace to stay alive.

The last two cards are the 6 and the Q, and Seif wins the pot with a full house, queens full of threes.

A few of the other players at the table started giving Seif some hell about the hand, particularly Gavin Smith.

Gavin said, "Nice read, Mark." Seif weakly defended the play, saying, "I knew if I hit my hand, it'd be good. You know?" Gavin laughed and replied, "I know I wouldn't have put 22 more dimes in the pot with king-queen!"

The table kept talking about the hand, and Mark Seif was taking everything with a smile. At one point, Seif said the all-in shove meant his opponent had a weak hand. Gavin laughed and said, "You know what that usually means? King-queen!"

At the end of it all, Gavin Smith said, "The good news is I think we found our hand of the day for the radio show tonight."

this is great aint it? bloody hell.
