As the chips begin to aggregate in the stacks of Antonio Fazzolari and Timothy English, the other players are inching towards short stack status. Tony Basile reversed that trend for his stack by raising to 225,000 from the cutoff after Hai Bo Chu opened for 60,000 and was called by Martin Rowe. Neither Chu nor Rowe called the reraise.
On a side note, the heads-up tournament is taking place out on the main tournament floor. The most interesting of the Round 1 match-ups pitted the gregarious David Saab against the stalwart David Steicke. Steicke emerged victorious.
