Chip Movers and Shakers
Jonathan Little has had a strong first level to start the day. He holds 50,000 as the chip leader and he is joined on the sunny side of the chip average by Jared Hamby, Matt Affleck and Daniel Negreanu, among others. A few players have started the day on the wrong side of the tracks and although they aren’t in trouble of busting just yet, they will need to turn thins around soon. James Carroll is down to 9,000, Shane Schleger is down to 10,000, and Scott Seiver holds 14,000.
Big Hands:
Jonathan Little Moves to the Top
An opponent made it 300 to go and Jonathan Little made the call on the button with 10-9 in the hole. Both blinds made the call. The flop fell 10 95 and the small blind bet 700. Everyone else mucked and Little raised to 2,000.
The small blind reraised all in for 23,000 more and Little made the all-in call. The small blind flipped over A-10 and both the turn and river brick. Little doubled up to 50,000 on the hand to become the early chip leader.
November Nine Double Up
The WPT Legends of Poker has been a good tournament for November Nine members to get live experience before the main event. They usually perform pretty well here at the Bicycle Casino as well.
Kevin Schaffel finished in second place at last year’s Legends of Poker, collecting $471,670 for his efforts. Soi Nguyen was in action yesterday and he finished strong with 77,250.
Joseph Cheong is playing on day 1B and he scored an early double up. There was 11,600 in the pot and a board of 10 758A on the table when the small blind checked before Cheong moved all in for 8,525 from the button. The small blind made the call after a moments deliberation and Cheong flipped over 64. His opponent mucked and Cheong doubled up to 28,500.
Kathy Liebert Grabs an Early Pot
Three players check down a board of A9210 with 2,700 in the pot. Kathy Liebert then made the price of admission 1,000 from middle position and seat 3 made the call from the cutoff. The big blind mucked and the K fell on the river.
Liebert bet 5,000 and her opponent mucked. Liebert turned over AQ as she collected the pot.
Schedule for the Day
The plan for today is to play six 90-minute levels. There will be a 10-minute break at the end of each level and a 60-minute dinner break that begins at approximately 7:30. Play should end just before midnight tonight.

Picking up the action after the board had run out K7544, Eli Elezra had moved all in and Phil Ivey made the call.
Elezra: KQ76
Ivey: AKQ5
Ivey had made kings and fives but Elezra’s kings and sevens were the better hand and he doubled to over 30,000 after the hand with all three reload chips intact. Ivey was down to 20,000 but all his rebuy chips were gone.
Liebert Avoids Showdown
Four players limped in and saw a flop of Q87. The action checked around to the player in seat 4 who bet 700. Kathy Liebert was the only caller and they both saw the 7 on the turn.
Both players checked and the river was the 6. Liebert then led out for 1,500 and seat 4 stared her down for a bit before mucking his hand. Liebert took the pot and was at 11,000 with three reload chips.
 Pescatori Doubles Through Elezra
Picking up the action on a flop of Q72, Max Pescatori bet 3,000 and Eli Elezra made the call, as did the player in seat 3. The turn was the 5 and Pescatori moved all in for 3,750.
Elezra made the call and seat 3 got out of the way. Pescatori then showed AJ104 for a couple of flush draws. Elezra turned over KQ63 for top pair and a gutshot straight draw.
The river was the 8 to complete Pescatori’s flush and double his stack to 10,000 with three reload chips. Elezra was down to 24,000 with all his reloads.

Steve Sung Eliminated in 16th Place ($9,146) in Two Acts
Oct 29, '09
 F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “There are no second acts in American lives.” Contrary to that opinion, Steve Sung just experienced his tournament demise in two acts. The second was short lived, but at least it was interesting.
Act I
Adam Levy moved all in preflop for 83,000 and Steve Sung made the call. Their cards:
Levy: 10 10
Sung: A K
Board: 10 8 6 J 9
Sung was crippled after the hand with just 11,000 remaining, and he got that all in quickly…
Act II
Kathy Liebert raised to 16,000 and Alex Keating made the call from the small blind. Sung was all in for 9,000 in the big blind and the flop was dealt J 9 9. Keating checked, Liebert bet 25,000, and Keating check-raised all in for 185,000. Liebert mucked and the final two players turned up their cards:
Keating: A 9
Sung: 10 5
Turn and River: A 4
Sung needed two clubs to make his flush, which he received, but one of them was the ace that Keating needed to make a full house. Sung was eliminated from the tournament in 16th place.
