Massage Anyone?

Livello 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

"Massage anyone?" asked the dealer on table 36 as a masseuse waltzed past her table.

"Are you offering?" asked a player inquiring to the dealer if she would be paying or providing the masseuse.

The dealer laughed as the masseuse continued her walk down the aisle.

Isra Short

Livello 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

On a board of {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} we found Roland Isra betting out 225. His opponent in the blinds - Event #15: $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em tenth-place finisher Andrew Cohen - check-raised to 600.

Isra called, and when faced with a 1,000-chip bet on the turn of the {7-Clubs}, he proceeded to call that too before being faced with a 1,600-chip bet on the river of the {2-Clubs}. Isra folded and slipped to 1,700 in the process.

Shulman Climbing Back

After a player raised to 75, Barry Shulman made the call from late position and the player on the button made the call as well.

The flop came {6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {J-Diamonds} and it was checked to Shulman who bet out 200. Both players folded and Shulman was able to pad his stack a bit. Still, he's sitting as the table short stack, down a significant amount from the starting stack.

Watt Losing Power Early

Livello 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Simon Watt and an opponent were heads up on a flop of {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Watt check raised to 650 after his opponent bet out for 250. His opponent called, and they took a turn of {k-Clubs}. Watt led out for 800, and his opponent moved all in for 3,225. Watt went into the tank before open folding {q-Hearts}{9-Spades} for two pair. That pot dropped Watt to 2,200, still plenty of chips with the blinds only at 25-25.

Smith Slips

Livello 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Gavin Smith opened for a min-raise to 50 and was called by a player on his direct left.

Smith fired out a bet of 125 on the {j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop and found a call from his opponent before Smith pushed out 250. His opponent smooth-called before both players checked the {K-Clubs} on the river.

Smith tabled his {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, but when his opponent tabled his {A-Spades}{j-Spades}, Smith sank back to his starting stack.

De Melo Flushed With Chips

We got to Fatima Moreira De Melo's table as she was getting in a big pot with her opponent. The flop read {6-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}, and De Melo and her opponent got all the chips in before the turn.

De Melo: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Her opponent had flopped two pair, but De Melo still had outs for the nut flush. It didn't take long for her to hit the draw, as the turn came the {7-Spades}. The river didn't give her opponent a boat, coming the {4-Spades}, and De Melo scored an early big pot.

One for Smith

Livello 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

With the board reading {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and the pot sitting at around 600, Gavin Smith bet out 525 into his opponent.

That opponent quickly made the call, and when Smith tabled his {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a rivered top pair, his opponent angled his cards to the muck to see Smith pushed the pot.

Herring Gotta Start Fighting Back

Mixed martial artist Heath Herring has just had his starting table broken.

Now sitting in the Black section of the Pavilion room, it seems as though Herring hasn't started today's tournament too well as he is sitting on just 1,575.

Spending a few minutes sweating his table, Herring was rather calm after already losing two-thirds of his stack, and although he could kick your ass in the octagon, it seems as though he is receiving a little bit of a beating at the table.

For those of you at home that may not follow mixed martial arts, Herring is also the boyfriend of PokerNews' own video hostess Sarah Grant... so maybe if you double him up, an interview may be around the corner!
