by Court on 08.25.08, 2:06 am
The second flight of day 1 play at the Legends of Poker is now complete and all players still in have made it to day 2. The field will be combined tomorrow at 2pm PST for day 2 play. After playing 5 levels on day 1, there has been an extra level added to tomorrow’s schedule to make sure everything runs on schedule later in the tournament.
Late in Day 1B Shane “Shaniac” Schleger was able to double up when his pocket fours won a race all in preflop against the A
Q. After the double up Shane finished the day with 15,800.
Matt “Mattg1983″ Graham (left) lost a pot late in the day when he called a river bet thinking it was smaller than it was. Matt had raised preflop to 825 (blinds 150 / 300) and the big blind called. The two players were bantering back and forth in a friendly manner and both checked the T
T
9 flop. With the K turn the player in the big blind led out for 1,600 and Matt called after motioning like he was going to grab chips to raise. The 8
river card brought a 4k bet from the big blind player and after long thought Matt put out 6 of the pink 500 chips, thinking he was calling a 3/4 pot sized bet of 3k. As soon as Matt put the chips out his opponent turned over the A5 for a flush.
Instead he had committed himself to calling a pot sized bet of 4k and had to toss another couple of chips out to complete the call. Graham said he would not have called had he known the bet was 4k, but didn’t seem to upset as he still finished the day in solid position with 64,025.

Barry Greenstein - 82,100
