Event 1: Horror Stories

$500 +$60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Guyana Gunning for Cohen

Only three levels into the tournament and there are plenty of bad beats to go around.

"I'm so angry, I want to punch somebody in the face right now," says one player we overhear lamenting how his set of aces were cracked by 9,10 suited.

Taking her bad beat in stride is Guyana Petrossian (Brooklyn, NY), who lost more than half her stack with a  "high pocket pair," to Joe Cohen (Philadelphia, PA) who turned a straight flush.  "Just say I'm looking for revenge," Petrossian says with a smile.

At the other end of the spectrum is a player who doubled-up early and tells his buddy, "bottom set against two pair."

Blinds are 75/150 as players are looking forward to their first break at just after 1 pm.
