News and Notes

– One interesting trend we’ve noticed here is the way all-in ettiquitte has gone out the door. Normally, in a tournament, when more than one player is in the pot against an all-in, they’ll check down in order to ensure that all-in’s elimination. With the bounties here at Bay 101 though, its been a lot more cutthroat than that.

– Doubling up has been tough for the Shooting Stars. It seems like they’ve tripled or quadrupled up more often.

– Joe Sebok just brought in five large pizzas for the media. As I’m a big guy, he is obviously the man. Thanks Joe.

– Joe also told me the Greenstein clan was considering the adoption of Jeff Madsen. Madsen just inched ahead of Barry for today’s chip lead.

– We’ve got five bounties on one table right now; Chip Reese, Jennifer Harman, Amir Vahedi, Miami John Cernuto and Gus Hansen
