$1000 + $90 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)
After Eric Beren opened for 7,500 on the button, Lee Childs moved in from the big blind for about 30k more.
Eric tanked for a bit, then called, showing A6. Lee was ahead with pocket Jacks.
The board ran out K 5 4 4 2 and Lee doubled up.
A couple of hands later, Patrick Paris (Youngstown, OH) was all-in with A7 suited against Eric.
This time Eric was ahead with pocket Tens.
The board fell 9 8 2 9 2 and Eric took the pot, making Patrick today's Bubble-Boy, finishing 19th for $0.
The final 18 drew for seats and moved to the final two tables. Play has resumed.
All players are now in the money and guaranteed to leave with at least $2,430.

The final 20 players have just returned from a break.
Level 15: Blinds 1,500/3,000 with 400 ante.

The next two players to bust out will leave with nothing.

Event 8: Getting the Wurst of It
$260 + $40 Ladies No Limit Hold'em
After featuring Kelly Armentrout (Alexandria, VA) and Loryn Wurst (Charlotte, NC) earlier in the tournament, the two are all in.
Wurst raises from under the gun and after a couple of callers, Armentrout comes along from the big blind.
On an ace-high flop everyone checks. On the turn, Armentrout checks again, Wurst moves all in for 6k and it folds back to Armentrout who calls.
Wurst: KK
Armentrout: AK
Wurst bricks the river and her pocket kings lose to Armentrout's pair of aces.
This is is a case of the blogger curse being a wash as Wurst is out, but Armentrout plays on.

Borgata trophy winner Jennifer Sherwood (Newport News, VA) quips, "it's great, she can't see the cards, so we make it up. She doesn't know," as everyone at the table laughs.
Hand says she has five kids, 10 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren and "loves playing poker."

Mikhail Patish (New York, NY) is one of the bigger stacks with 60k, but he's not impressed. "It doesn't mean too much," he says, "it can be gone real quick."

The first NFL Sunday of the season means one eye on the cards and one eye on the big screens.
A couple of Buffalo fans are bravely wearing their Bills gear in Jets country. "I've seen a couple of (Jets) fans over there, so we'll see when I get closer," says Jennifer Oar (Alexandria, VA).
Oar is on break from the Ladies event and watching her husband Michael play the PLO.
"I'm fully confident they'll make the playoffs and end the drought," Michael says with the Jets holding a 7-nothing lead.
"It's a big game for both teams," Jennifer says about the opener.
Unfortunately for the Oar family, since we stopped by, the Jets are now leading 21-0.

Event 8: Ladies Break Dance
$260 + $40 Ladies No Limit Hold'em
The women's tournament is on it's first break of the day and the event has a different dynamic for two reasons. First, it's all women, to which Kelly Armentrout (Alexandria, VA) sums up by saying, "women play more consistent,"
Secondly, there's no re-entry, so there's no safety net if players catch a bad beat or want to be über aggressive.
Loryn Wurst (Charlotte, NC) is playing in her first ladies event and after winning a hand before the first break of the day says, "I feel more confident playing my game at this type of tournament."
She adds that she can be "more aggressive," than she normally is when playing in a tournament with both men and women.
Level 3 (75/150) is complete and the ladies are on a 10 minute break.

Cunningham has 10 10 UTG and Renner has AQ from the BB and hits an ace on the flop and turn to win with trip aces. "One of my (poker) goals was to bust a pro," and Renner has no qualms with getting it in this format, adding "a bust is a bust."
It looks like this is a one and done for Cunningham who hasn't re-entered the tournament.
