***************Break Chat, with your Host - Me*******************
First off, Kara Scott, cool as a cucumber in her Pokerstars outfit and generally enjoying herself immensely... She says that she's had the Aces once, but it was in early position and scored her some blinds, and apart from that it was Gino Alacqua and the guy two to his left who seemed intent on fighting each other over her blind every time. "I don't care," she said, "If they want to go crazy over my blind when it's only 100..." Other than that she took a small hit just before the break started after raising with A-Q and finding the shortstack Matey on her left getting it all in against her with 2-2, which stayed good.

Dan Carter hasn't played many hands in the early levels. He lost a few after raising to 225 with Kings early doors, getting two callers and a J-8-6 flop. He bet 500 at this juncture, and both Mateys called. The turn brought a 4, and now First Matey bet out 1,500. One of those 'sigh' moments later and Dan had called, "With the intention of checking on the river, or folding to a bet." The river wasn't remarkable, but he did fold to Matey's 2,000 bet...
He does say that Dario Minieri is "destroying the table. It's really annoying because he's never calling a raise on the button, for example, he's always re-raising. What do I do in the cutoff?"
