EgonOlsen Gets Burned on the Turn!
Unfortunately, for Egon he was on the receiving end of some bad beats early on and after his pocket K's were cracked, he had to play conservatively with his remaining chips.

In fact he managed his remaining chips rather well and was able to hang around the 7,000 mark for another 12hrs. However, with just 2hrs left and after being dealt AK in the small blind, Egon's main event came to an end.

Final Hand: A Terrible Turn
- Egon is SB
- Player UTG raises the blinds (300+25 ante) to 1200.
(an old Texan guy who kept falling asleep at the table)
- Table folds round to Egon
- Egon pushes all-in for 6,000
- The Texan calls
- Showdown: Egon - AKs vs Texan - 10 10
Flop: A J 5
Turn: 10 River: 6

I guess the turn and the river can be unkind even in the real world.

EgonOlsen's Comments

"I had Howard Lederer at my table all night, he went bust about 2 hours before I did. I must admid seeing some of the hands he played was a little disappointing to watch. Not sure if I got filmed, I sat opposite Howard, so they mostly filmed over my shoulder.

The two tables next to me also contained some of pokers big names with the likes of Phil Hellmuth and Doyle Brunson, but the best part was that they bust before me.

All in all I dont regret many of my moves. I had AK 4 times, the 3 first I hit nothing on the flop and had to fold. And 2 times KK, 1 i lost in the beginning and 1 later that I won preflop with a reraise.

I also got to bust out 1 other player when he moved all in on the button and I called him with AQ flom the big blind. He had K6.

It was a great experience and even though I am a bit sad atm as I didn't last the final 2 hours of the day. Until next year."


Cashflow5 Update:

Cashflow5 has done extremely well to survive through the first day, but with very few decent starting hands he is now severely short stacked.

Tuesday is when Cashflow5 takes a seat again and with only 7000 in chips, he will need to hit some cards from the get go.

Player Comments:

"I Never saw Aces and only had Kings twice in 15 hours of play. I hope it gets better on Tueday."

DiamondRattler Update:
DiamondRattler has made it through the first day and has done so with a chip count of 29,000, but it could have have been more. Later in the the session Diamond lost a huge pot, about 90,000, of which he contributed 40,000 of his own stack.

This puts him in the middle of the pack for Tuesday's playoff.

Player Comments:

"I was seated next to 2 of the ESPN staff, so I got alot of coverage. So far the experience has been tremendous, what an andrendaline rush and I was so drained when it finally finished at 3:30am the following monring. I'm dead tired of course, but can't wait for Tuesday to get back out here and do it all over again."
