Discussing the finer art of checking in the dark.

Early leader Anna Wrobleski has continued upwards - it looks like her stack is topping 160,000 at this point.  But with others like Goodwin getting up towards the 130k mark (I don't think there are any actually threatening to overtake yet) she can't just rest on her laurels.  She just called someone down, check calling the turn and river, when the board was King high, disjointed, with no flush possible.  The river call was around 6k, however, which she quickly announced she'd made with "Ace high."  , to be exact.  Which won - her opponent clearly didn't think that would be the hand to call his river bluff (he held Q-T).
She says, "Don't you hate it that I keep doing the right thing?  They said I was a calling station..."

If my High Stakes Poker memory serves me correct, this is Daniel Alaei, who had 121k before clashing with Kristy Gazes, the Aussie Millions' finalist calling 14.5k with a Jack (she accidentally flashed a card at the end) on an board.

Both checked the River only for Daniel to take it down with .

Top Table Pictures:

It might look like this table has odd perspective, making the others look small and far away, and that's because they're up on a stage in the corner (I can just picture a TV Table set up there at some point).  I thought it was out of bounds (see how all this filming has conditioned us) but it isn't - up there are Stuart Fox (35,500), Peter Gould (82,000) and Jani Sointula (66,300) among others.

Jeff Cabinillas, who I believe won a WSOP bracelet last year, has a decent chance of adding a WPT title to his list of accolades, is running well with 96k.

Maybe not a bracelet holder, but a millionaire nonetheless (although I doubt he got all of that million after the dreaded Scanide tax), Swede Eric Fryberg is quite low at the moment with 30k, although, in truth, you can be on 5k and still have room to maneuver.

Vanessa Rousso (82k) and Kenna James (47k), the former of the two just this moment involved in a pot that earned her an extra 12k.
