Players will soon head out on their last 15-minute break of the day.  Upon return from the break they will play two more full levels before bagging and tagging for the evening.  Day 2 resumes on Sunday at 11am, and anyone that doesnt make it through, has Flight B tomorrow, and up until the start of play on Sunday to enter/re-enter.

Heidi Alexander-Allain leads the notable chip counts heading into the home stretch. Alexander-Allain began her climb to the top just after the dinner break when she knocked out Rickey Lee with her full house vs. Lee's rivered Broadway straight.

Here is a look at a few of the notable stacks heads into the final break:

There is around 20,000 in the middle, and the board reads 10♣108♠Q♠K♠. Rickey Lee bets 10,000, and Heidi Alexander-Allain moves all in.

"Does she have me covered?" Lee asks.

A few players at the table chime in, and Lee requests that the dealer count out the chips to be sure.

The dealer counts down Alexander-Allain's chips, and tell's Lee the 53,000 total.  Lee glances at his chips for about ten seconds, seeing he has less than his opponent, and calls.

"Queens," a player at the table that's not involved in the hand hypothesizes.

Alexander-Allain quickly turns over QQ for the full house.

Lee turns over AJ♠ for the inferior Broadway straight, and prepares to exit the tournament area.

Heidi Alexander-Allain - 125,000
Rickey Lee - Eliminated, with the option to re-enter

Alex Rocha

Alex Rocha raises to 1,200 in the cutoff, and Sam Taylor makes it 4,000 in the big blind.  Rocha calls.

The flop comes K♣K♠8♠. Taylor bets 4,000, and Rocha counts out his remaining chips, and calls the 4,000.

Both players check the 9♣ turn.

The river is the 7♠. This time Taylor checks, and Rocha bets 14,000, leaving himself only 4,000 behind.

Taylor goes deep into the tank, and over three minutes pass before he apologizes to the table for taking so long.  One of the players seated across from Taylor says, "Don't worry, take your time."

Taylor thinks for over another full minute before moving the chips forward to call.

"Full house," Rocha announces, as he turns over 88♣.

Taylor pauses for a few seconds before mucking his cards without showing.

Alex Rocha - 44,600
Sam Taylor - 40,000


Event #19A ($2,500 NLH Championship) - Michael Lavoie Eliminated Just After Dinner Break

Michael Lavoie was just eliminated shortly after the dinner break.  Lavoie moved all in on the button for 5,000, and the player in the big blind asked for the count. Upon hearing the total, and looking down at his chip stack, the player said, "Alright, I call," while shrugging his shoulders.

Lavoie: J9
Big Blind: 97

"That's not what I wanted to see," the big blind says, seemingly referring to the shared nine, but the flop comes K7♣2 giving the player a pair to take the lead.

Unfortunately for Lavoie, the 8 turn and 6♠ river do not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play, with the option to re-enter.

Event #19A ($2,500 NLH Championship) - Dinner Break

Players in Flight A of the $2,500 Championship event are now on a 60-minute dinner break.  They will return around 5:45pm to play Level 7 with 250/500 blinds and a 50 ante.

The players will play through level 10 before bagging up their chips for the night, and will return to play Day 2 on Sunday at 11am.  There is a second starting flight tomorrow (Saturday March 24th) at 10am, and registration is open until the start of play on Day 2 (Sunday).

Mark Perry

Just moments before the start of the dinner break, Louis Scianna was eliminated by Mark Perry.

Perry flopped a set of jacks and moved all in after he rivered a full house. (Scianna had rivered trip nines.) After a close count, Perry had Scianna slightly covered, and is heading into the dinner break with around 60,000.

There is around 3,000 in the middle and two players to see the 1086♠ flop.

William Frederick checks from under the gun, and the player on the button bets 1,500.  Frederick moves all in for 10,600 total, and his opponent asks for a count, pauses for a few moments and then calls.

Frederick turns over 76 for a flush draw, and the player on the button says, "I have that beat for now," as he turns over A10♣ for top pair, top kicker.

Unfortunately for Frederick, the Q turn and 4 river do not improve his hand, and he is eliminated from play.

The players are now heading out on their second 15-minute break of the day.  They will return to play level 5, with 150/300 blinds and a 25 ante.

Omar Saeed

There's around 4,000 in the middle, and four players to see the AQ♣6 flop.

Rickey Lee checks in the big blind, Omar Saeed checks in middle position, Gary Lucci checks in the cutoff, and the player on the button makes it 2,300.  Only Saeed calls.

Both players check the 10 turn.

The river is the 8. Lee checks and Saeed announces that he is all in.

Apparently, Saeed has been known to make large shoves in this event, because a player at the table mutters in frustration quietly, "Again?"

Lee thinks for a few moments before ultimately opting to muck his hand.

Omar Saeed - 40,000
Rickey Lee - 38,000

Curt Kohlberg

Curt Kohlberg is no stranger to the Foxwoods scene. Last year at this time, Kohlberg took down the $5,000 High Roller event, adding $31,331 to his impressive $3 million+ in live tournament earnings.  Kohlberg's impressive resume is peppered with scores all over the world, but a close look reveals that it's fair to say he got his start here at Foxwoods casino.

His earliest cash dates back to April of 1997, when he placed 7th in a $530 7-Card Stud event here at Foxwoods, and he immediately started running deep in every tournament he played thereafter.

Source: Hendon Mob (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=7953) 

Kohlberg is in today's field hoping to add another large dollar amount by securing a piece of the $400,000 guaranteed prizepool.

The six max field is down to the final 36 players, and one table in particular really stands out.  Foxwoods is known for it's notable players, but rarely do they all get concentrated together at the same table.  Table 6 includes the following players:

Seat 1 - Nick Palma
Seat 2 - Caleb Clarke
Seat 3 - Leonard Coretellino
Seat 4 - Tarun G.
Seat 5 - Sara Austin Stohler
Seat 6 - Empty

These five players alone hold over $3,500,000 in collective live tournament earnings. 

When the Foxwoods.com blog staff checked in on the table there was a general consensus that they were all ready for the table to break.

"I looked around the field and didnt think that it was super stacked," one of the players at the table said, "But as soon as I sat down to this table I knew I was in for a tough day."

Another player responded, "We are all playing cautiously, and just kind of waiting for the table to break."
