As we approach the first break of the day here in Event #43: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em, we see a familiar face sitting behind a big stack. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Barny Boatman has already more than tripled his starting stack.
Boatman is fresh off a seventh-place finish in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Millionaire Maker (Event #21) where he notched a six-figure score, earning $175,865. He is off to a red-hot start today and will look to continue his upward trend as the tournament progresses.
We are now up to 725 runners in the tournament and a few more notables are among them.
Kenny Hallaert has remained around starting stack after winning a small pot just now. All the cards were out and the board read 
. There was no betting on the river and Hallaert showed 
for two pair to take it down.
Meanwhile current EPT Sochi champion Arsenii Karmatakii is in the house, along with Spanish pro Leo Margets.
A player in late position raised to 300 and Daniel Strelitz reraised to 1,000 from the hijack. It folded back to the original raiser who moved all in for 7,300.
Strelitz snap called turning over and his opponent showed 
. The dealer fanned the 
flop and Strelitz flopped top set putting a hammerlock on the hand. The turn and river 
sealed the deal for Strelitz who earned the pot and the knockout.
Thomas Taylor was playing position against one opponent on a flop of 
. The single-suited board saw a check from both players and the dealer laid out the 
on the turn. Taylor's opponent bet 525 on the turn and it was enough to get a fold from Taylor.
Losing that small one hasn't affected Taylor's strong start too much, as he has essentially doubled up during the first hour-and-a-half of the day.
A player in late position raised to 225 and Joe Cada reraised to 700 from the cutoff. With the action on Ryan Laplante in the small blind he made it 2,200. It folded back to Cada who called and they went heads up to the 
flop.
Laplante checked and Cada bet 2,400. Laplante quickly folded and Cada dragged in the pot.
