Level 6 has come to a close, meaning players have around 15 minutes during the break to register for Event #1. We just saw D.J. MacKinnon, Mark Roberts and Andy Spears take advantage of the late registration.
We'll be back in 15 minutes after the T25-denomination chips are removed from the tournament.
We've already seen a handful of players return to the cage to reenter this event, including Travell Thomas, Hoss Colao and Alex Rivera. "This is why I hate rebuys," Thomas told the cashier.
Robert Lucas is one of the early leaders here in Event #1. According to tablemate Cameron Bartolotta, Lucas won a huge pot in Level 2 after calling a five-bet preflop with pocket tens. Then on a flop he moved all in and was called by pocket aces, but Lucas drilled a ten on the river to cross the 50,000 chip mark. He's now sitting with around 47,000.
The blinds are moving quickly in today's turbo format. We've already lost four players in the first 75 minutes, including Hank Chimes and Tyler Loucks.
If you can't make it to play today's tournament, don't worry. There are six more tournaments on the Summer Slam schedule through next Sunday, including a $125 event with six starting flights and, of course, the $600 Main Event.
