Checking In With The Defending Champ
We thought we'd check in with last year's winner, Alex Bilokur, who was seated over at Table 9. Upon our arrival we saw a player in early position raise to 400 only to have Bilokur three-bet to 1,125 from the cutoff. The original raiser then four-bet to 2,300, Bilokur called, and the flop fell 
. The early-position player continued with a bet of 2,400 and Bilokur reluctantly folded.
It wasn't an exciting hand, but it gave us a good excuse to let you know that, despite losing that hand, the defending champ is still up from the starting stack with 67,500.
