Hamby and Goldin Double Early by Jessica on 06.03.08, 4:28 pm

Plenty of players came prepared for today’s rebuy event, armed with a stack of yellow rebuy chips.  Negreanu’s stack of yellow chips rivaled the size of his starting stacks and many others have followed suit.  Play has been loose so far and several players’ have begun the process of building their stacks.  Jared “TheWacoKid” Hamby chipped up early when he got it all in pre-flop with K4.  Sorel “Imper1um” Mizzi has already built up his stack to over 30K by frequently moving all-in, often blind.  Ken “isuck123″ Goldin also doubled up early courtesy of Vanessa Rousso (pictured at left) and now has 8K.

Like yesterday’s mixed hold em event, the field today is loaded with good players and several tables boast a number of known live and online pros.  Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy is seated at the same table as Negreanu and Bart Hansen.  Kevin “Bel0wAb0vE” Saul is seated one table over and the two PokerXFactor instructors have been keeping an eye on each other’s progress.  Be sure to check out our text message updates on the left side of your screen, as Bax has frequently been texting in some of the crazier hands.  Other stacked tables include:

 - Ken Goldin, Vanessa Rousso, and Alex Jacob
- Mike Matusow (looking very svelte we must say), Adam “adam_mc” McGregor, and James Mackey
- Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Greg “FBT” Mueller, Jamie “TheNew” Robbins, and Jason “JCarver” Somerville
- Bill Gazes, Jennifer Tilly, Robert Mizrachi, Garrett “GBecks” Beckman
- David Benyamine, Vivek “psyduck” Rajkumar, and Michael “Martine23″ Martin
- Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson, Alex “AJKHoosier1″ Kamberis, and Maria “Maridu” Mayrinck
- Brandon Cantu, Jason Gray, and Tim Vance
