Looking down the seating draw for Day 1 of Event #25: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha we caught a glimpse of two players with the same surname seated at neighbouring tables. It turns out that Desmond and Raymond Kearney are father and son, out here playing the World Series.
"This is my first time," said the son, Raymond, "But my father is out here almost every year."
"We've played together back home. He won and I came third," he continued. "I'm just playing this, but he's sticking around to play the Seniors event."
We'll have to stay tuned to see if the pair can go deep in this tournament together.

With about 1,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading , the player in the hijack bet 400 and Vanessa Selbst, in the cutoff, raised to 1,300. After a few moments of thought, the player in the hijack called, and Selbst tabled for a wheel. The hijack mucked and Selbst took the pot.

On a board, a player checked to Jared Hamby who bet 400. His opponent then check-raised to 1,600. Hamby moved all in and his opponent called.
All-in player:
Hamby:
Hamby had top set, had his opponent drawing close to dead because if the board paired, Hamby would make a bigger full house. His opponent needed running sixes or threes, but the turn was the and the river was the and he was eliminated.
"It's been a summer of getting two-outed and bubbling every tournament I play," explained Hamby. "At least in this tournament you're not going to get two-outed. Maybe 15-outed.
"I can handle that!"

The hijack opened with a raise to 275, Michael Sanders called from the cutoff, the button called, and the big blind called as well.
The four players saw a flop of and the big blind checked. The preflop raiser checked as well and Sanders bet 600. The button folded, the big blind did the same, and after brief consideration, so did the preflop raiser, and Sanders took the pot.
