The action at Table 29 began with Kyle Bowker open shoving for his remaining 11,000. Todd Jacobsen would be next to act, and he would pause momentarily and also announce himself all-in for just over 60,000. Action would fold around to Drake Bronk in the big blind, and he would shove his chips in as well (46,000):
Kyle: 9♥ 9♠
Todd: A♠ Q♦
Drake: Q♥ Q♣
Runout: Q♠ 4♠ 6♦ 10♠ 4♣
Drake's lead would become even stronger on the flop, and although Jacobsen turned the nut flush draw, the river would brick out. Bowker would be eliminated, while Drake would chip up to 105,000.

Event 14 (Day 1A): Bowker Back From Vegas
Level 7 (Blinds 200/400/50)
Total Entries: 35
Day 1A Players Remaining: 25
Kyle Bowker (Walton, NY) returned from Las Vegas only days ago, but has just taken his seat for his second event of the Live! Summer Series Of Poker. Although he didn't see much success in Event 10 (Pot Limit Omaha), he was coming off another sizable score out west.
Bowker initial breakout score came in the 2006 WSOP Main Event, where he finished 37th for $247,399. Kyle has since amassed over $2,300,000 in tournament earnings, including another deep run in this year's WSOP Main Event. Bowker finished 71st this time around, for a return of $103,025.
Kyle has some history at Table 29, as he is seated directly across from Justin Liberto, who he beat heads up in the WSOPC $1,675 Main Event at Harrah's Chester.

Event 14 (Day 1A): Break Time
Players are heading on their second (15) minute break of the day, and when they return to Level 7 the blinds will have increased to 200/400/50.

Live! Poker tournament regular Tim Little called over the media to ask if the name James Bucci sounded familiar. Although James wasn't recognized immediately, it took only a few clicks on the computer to find out that Bucci was cashing in tournaments while many of the players in the field were on the bus to school.
Bucci (Hollywood, MD) has over $632,000 in career tournament earnings, with his first cash coming during the 1990 WSOP. Over his career, James has amassed 67 recorded cashes, with his largest coming just this summer at the 2014 WSOP. Bucci finished third in the $1,500 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, taking home $109,000.
Bucci is off to a solid start today, sitting with 32,000 in front of him.

Level 4 (Blinds 100/200)
Total Entries: 32
Jane Hitchcock (Washington D.C.) was the only woman in the field to start the day, and that hasn't changed with just under two hours remaining in registration. Jane has been a tournament fixture in the room during the series, but is still looking for her first cash here at the Live! Poker Room. Her day did not get off to a good start, as she busted from Table 29 and has now found herself at Table 30 with the likes of Alex Rumbaugh, Duane Mitchell, James Bucci, and Daniel Sussman.
Jane has six career cashes to her name (all from 2013), with her largest score coming at the Aria in a $340 NLH Deep Stack (4th Place - $4,108). This series has been her first since returning from Las Vegas and the WSOP, where she saw great success in cash games over the trip.

It was less than twelve hours ago that Tony Hulbert (Sterling, VA) was discussing numbers for a chop of Event 13 ($250 NLH). When everything was said and done, Hulbert would walk away with $4,309 for his fourth place finish, his second cash of this series.
Tony was one of the first players seated in the field today, meaning he feels comfortable playing on a light night of sleep. He is currently just under the starting stack, sitting with 18,000 in front of him.

Total Entries: 28
The newest player in the field is coming off a great last year, and when it comes to all-time career tournament earnings for residents of Maryland, he is top fifteen. Justin Liberto (Baltimore, MD) finished 4th in the inaugural WSOP $1,500 Millionaire Maker (2013) for over $400,000...and that was only the beginning. Over the next twelve months, Liberto would add another $250,000 to his career earnings, finish runner up at the WSOPC Main Event at Harrah's Chester and the Big Stax VI $1,500 Main Event at Parx.
Justin just took his seat at Table 29, and is hoping to continue the Liberto good run, as his father John just chopped Event 12 yesterday afternoon.
