$1500 Mixed HE bust
Lots of complaints in the room about the structure on this one as the limit levels were playing way bigger than the equivalent NL levels. The LHE blinds were double that of the NL blinds. So we’d play 200/400 LHE (1/2 blinds) and then 50/100 NL. It’s defnitely the fastest tournament I’ve played yet at [...]

Limit Omaha Eight-or-Better $10k: Third Break
Just got word that Spence has 18k at third break. He seemed to have been a victim of a bad beat delivered by John Juanda.

Limit Omaha Eight-or-Better $10k: Second Break
Spence jus sent me a text that he’s at 30k after four levels of play. They are current on the shortened dinner break and are scheduled to play another four hours plus a twenty-minute break.
After a slow beginning, a bit of a die-off took place at the end of level four. From the starting lineup [...]

Limit Omaha Eight-or-Better $10k: First Break.
At first break, Spence’s sitting on $20.8k.
His stack size has been on of a bit of a rollercoaster, going down to 12k in the first 20 minutes of play; swinging up to 25k and then back down to roughly even.
