Adam Miller opened to 2,200 from the hijack before the cutoff made it 6,500. Corel Theuma called from the button which then prompted Kitty Kuo to move all in for 27,600. Miller and the cutoff got out of the way but Theuma called.
Kitty Kuo: 10♠10♥
Corel Theuma: A♠2♠
Kuo had the best hand and it remained that way following the 8♠6♦3♦J♥9♣ runout.
"Loose call," commented Theuma as the hand played out.
Niveau: 7
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
The players have been sent on their second 15-minute break of the day. So far, there have been 617 entries. Last year's field saw 746 players register, and that number is likely to be eclipsed with 6 levels of late registration remaining.
Jeremy Becker, who recently made waves with his winning ways, was seen in the field battling against some of the biggest names in the poker world.
Long time crushers, Alex Foxen and Kristen Foxen were lucky (or unlucky) enough to be sat together on one of the outer tables. They were carrying on their own conversations with their tablemates, but it's surely quite the tough spot to be sandwiched between two Foxen's in this $5,000 Freezeout.

The under the gun player raised to 1,600 and was called by the player directly to his left. It then folded to late position who reraised to 5,500. Andrew Moreno, who was in the small blind, deliberated a moment before going all-in for just over 40,000.
The initial raiser folded, as did the other players and Moreno chipped up a bit.
The under-the-gun player opened to 2,000 before the player on their direct left put in a three-bet. Acton folded to Martin Carnero in the big blind who moved all in for 17,200. The under-the-gun player folded while the three-bettor called.
Martin Carnero: K♠K♦
Early Position: QxQx
Carnero was the huge favorite and he found a double up following the J♣8♥2♠A♥8♦ runout.
Donovan Dean opened to 1,600 from the button before the small blind jammed for 9,000. Theo Arnoldi called from the big blind and Dean called as well.
Arnoldi bet 7,000 on the 9♣5♦4♦ flop and folded out Dean for cards to go on their backs.
Small Blind: A♠4♣
Theo Arnoldi: 8♦8♠
The 6♦ turn and 6♣ river were of no help to the at risk player and Arnoldi dragged in a pot.
