Day 1B Players Remaining: 33
At Table 31, Scott Blumenfeld would open the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,500. The play would fold to Jesse Chinni in the big blind, who would make the call as the two players went to the flop. The dealer would fan out a flop of J♥ K♠ Q♦, and Chinni would check to Blumenfeld, who bet out 2,600. Jesse would make the call and the two would see the 9♥ on the turn. Action would go check-check, and Chinni would fire out a bet of 5,000 after the 10♥ came out on the river.
Blumenfeld would take a neatly stacked tower of chips and push it across his cards. Jesse did not ask for a count, but thought for a few moments before dropping some 5k chips in for a call. Scott would turn over K♥ Q♥ for a rivered straight flush, and Jesse would toss his hand towards the middle.

James Peters (Potomac, MD) was spotted celebrating with a smile as he scooped up a sizable pot...one that would put him at 175,000. That would be good for the chip lead with just over one level to go (with today's shortened structure). Peters has only one recorded lifetime cash according to Hendon Mob, which actually came earlier in this series. James finished 3rd in Event 6 ($230 NLH), which was good for $1,751.
Level 11 is beginning in just moments, with the blinds going up to 500/1,000/100 (chip average of 55,000).

Level 8 started just moments ago, with the blinds going up to 250/500/50. The chip average amongst the remaining 53 players sits at 34,000. The field continues to get smaller as another table breaks, with notables Cullen Hoffman and Jimmy Born eliminated. Born would get it in pre with K♥ Q♦ against the A♥ J♦ of Raviinder Vinayak, but after flopping a queen would lose to an ace on the river. Vinayak would chip up to 57,000 with that pot and is almost double the current chip average.

Day 1B Players Remaining: 60
With one of the outer tables breaking during break, Christian Harder ended up back at his original starting table for the day (Table 28). He once again would be involved in a heads up hand with Karen Wagner, and the two would see a flop almost identical to the one that Harder busted his first bullet. The dealer would fan out a flop of 10♠ 9♥ 2♠, and Karen would even mention to Christian, "Does this remind you of anything?" Wagner would check-call Harder's flop bet of 2,800, and the two would see the Q♠ on the turn. This time Karen would take the lead with a bet of 4,200 and Christian would make the call. The river would bring another spade, as the dealer placed down the 4♠, and Wagner would put out a bet of 6,200. Harder would make the call and Karen would announce that she had no spade before turning over her hand, and Christian would table K♥ J♠. The spade flush would be enough to win the hand, and Harder would scoop in the pot.

The action at Table 41 was picked up pre-flop, as Scott Heiser limped the cutoff. The action would fold to Michael Rossi in the small blind, who would make it 1,800 to go. Christian Harder was in the big blind, and he would three-bet to 4,000. After Heiser folded behind, Rossi would five-bet all-in (having Harder covered), and Christian would make the call:
The runout would not bring any help for Harder, who would bust his second bullet and immediately head to the tournament podium to get back in. With that pot Rossi is now up to 34,000, sitting around the average at the moment.

It was mentioned in an earlier post how James Sloat (Fort Meade, MD) had been running (and playing) very well during this series, and he is picking up right where he left off. Although the action from the hand was not seen, James just busted Cliff Goldkind, chipping up to 78,000 and putting himself towards the top of the leaderboard. This is no surprise to Sloat, as he called his shot on Twitter yesterday evening, but has since deleted the Tweet.
The list of notables continues to grow as Cullen Hoffman (Forest Hill, MD) was spotted for the first time since playing in Event 1 earlier in the series.

The action was picked up at Table 40 on the flop in a hand between Rafael Saadah and Ian Davis. Approaching the table Saadah would have a bet in front of him enough to put Davis all-in on a flop of 3♣ 4♥ 6♥, and Davis would make the call. Rafael would table his 5♥ 7♥ (flopped straight with straight flush redraw), and Ian would need help with his 4♦ 4♠. The turn and river would not pair the board for Davis and he would bust, while Saadah would scoop up the 40,000 pot and chip up to 77,000. Ian would immediately go to the tournament podium and is not back in the field at a new table.

Level 3 (Blinds 75/150)
Total Day 1B Entries: 70
The action at Table 40 was picked up pre-flop when a supervisor was called to the table. Vineet Bhargava opened the pot to 300, and was called by Venkata Emani in middle position. John Creed would three-bet to 1,100 with the action on him, and Bhargava called behind. Emani would then throw out two 1,000 chips, which was construed as a raise by Creed. Although Venkata's intention was to make the call, the tournament floor determined that to be a min-raise, and Creed would five-bet shove in turn. Vineet would fold and Venkata (who had 2,100 behind) would make the call:
Emani would stand up when the hands were tabled, but he would turn the wheel and only have to fade the board pairing on the river to win the hand. He would do just that, and Venkata chips back up to 12,000 with that pot.

The action at Table 40 was picked up pre-flop when a supervisor was called to the table. Vineet Bhargava opened the pot to 300, and was called by Venkata Emani in middle position. John Creed would three-bet to 1,100 with the action on him, and Bhargava called behind. Emani would then throw out two 1,000 chips, which was construed as a raise by Creed. Although Venkata's intention was to make the call, the tournament floor determined that to be a min-raise, and Creed would five-bet shove in turn. Vineet would fold and Venkata (who had 2,100 behind) would make the call:
Creed: 10♠ 10♣ Emani: A♣ 2♣
Runout: 10♥ 4♠ 5♣ 3♠ 8♣
Emani would stand up when the hands were tabled, but he would turn the wheel and only have to fade the board pairing on the river to win the hand. He would do just that, and Venkata chips back up to 12,000 with that pot.
Event 14 (Day 1B): Repping MD
Level 3 (Blinds 75/150)
Total Day 1B Entries: 67
The newest arrival to the field is likely no stranger to anyone in the poker room, as Christian Harder (Annapolis, MD) took his seat at Table 28 just moments ago. Harder is one of a group of big named poker pros to call Maryland home. Christian has over $2,900,000 in career tournament earnings, including his most recent score during the Aria/Party Poker WPT500 ($565 No Limit Hold'em). Harder bested a field of 3,599 players to finish in fourth place for $90,000. He also added five more WSOP cashes during this years series, all in no limit hold'em events.
It didn't take long for Harder to get involved at his table, as he got it all-in on a flop of 10♠ 9♥ 4♣ against Karen Wagner (who had him covered). It would be a quick trip back to the registration podium, as Christian's 10♦ 9♣ < 10♣ 10♥ of Wagner.

Event 14 (Day 1B): Cards In The Air
Level 1 (Blinds 25/50)
Total Day 1B Entries: 42
The rules announcement has been made for players already seated, and the cards are now in the air for Day 1B of Event 14. The field has already surpassed that of yesterday, and with the trend of later arrivals always present, the number should continue to grow. A lot of players have asked about yesterday's early finish and how that relates to today's play. In order to make sure that both starting flights have an even playing field (in lines of structure), today's play will end at the conclusion of Level 11.
As the field continues to grow and new players get settled in their seats, an update of the notables in the field will be posted shortly.

Event 14 (Day 1B): Second Flight Begins Shortly
Today is the final opportunity for players to bag chips and continue on to Day 2 of Event 14 ($1,100 No Limit Hold'em - $75,000 Guarantee). The field yesterday was an intimate one, with play being paused with (10) players left (from 35 total entries). Drake Bronk, recent winner of the MSPT Mid-Season Championship bagged the chip lead with 222,200, while James Bucci sealed up 168,500.
The field looks to be sizably bigger today, with the buzz that has been seen on Twitter. Many of the notable Maryland players are now back from the WSOP, and it will be interesting to see who shows up for Day 1B action. The cards will be in the air at 12:15pm, and live coverage of the event will pick up at exactly that time.
