Tony G wasted little time in getting to work. He just sent Isaac Haxton to the rail after the two got all of the money in on a {9-}{9-}{8-}{6-} board with Tony G holding {9-}{8-} for a flopped full house against Haxton's {10-}{7-} for a turned straight. The river blanked and Haxton was eliminated.

+

Isaac Haxton just re-entered the event after his elimination. He's on his second bullet and with another 250,000 in chips. We'll have an updated seat draw coming shortly.

Sam Trickett has just busted Daniel "Jungleman" Cates. We didn't see the hand but know it was an all-in pre flop confrontation. Cates has AK and 120,000 and Trickett had TT . The pocket tens held up and Cates is running around trying to find an opponent to play Chinese Poker. Trickett meanwhile has 410,000.

This is a fantastic field. Little bit of everything and tons of railbird favorites and sidebar storylines. Probably the best super high roller lineup of all time.

Interesting to hear Seidel say 'Pokerstars always runs a first class event' in his pre-tourney interview with Lynn.

Do you know if PokerStars pays the sponsored players the buy in this tournament?

How can Stars not offer some sort of stream for this? It's perhaps the best tournament line-up of all time, and we don't even get to follow the final table?

For something as big as this, a way of following that doesn't include hitting F5 would have been in its place.

Events like these have huge potential, and Stars are supposedly on the very forefront of all developments in this industry. Yet all we get is "aired on TV on a later occasion"?

Setting the actual event and its organization aside, I cannot help to feel that Stars dropped the ball a little on this one.

what's the structure for this 3-day tournament? something like playing down to ~25 players today and to the final table tomorrow or is it determined by a specific time frame instead?

Just a guess but I would bet that all Stars sponsored players (Negreanu, Blom, Selbst, Mercier, Elky, Duhamel, Katchalov etc.. ) are in this one on their own bankroll. Selbst was selling pieces of her action in the MP.

It's a barn burner," said Perkins before finishing with, "let's go," very quietly.
"What?" Said McDonald as he made the call.

Sick metagaming lol!
