: 200/400, 400 ante
Players in the satellite are all playing for entries into the $600 and $1,000 tournaments here this week, but alongside the early levels of action, PlayNow was also sponsoring a free draw for a ticket to tomorrow's $600 event. That draw has just concluded with Larry B. as the lucky winner of a seat tomorrow night.
During tomorrow's action, a similar draw will take place for a free ticker into Friday's $300 Bounty event.

: 200/400, 400 ante
After Wes Traill raised from the hijack, Shawn Sperber called from the small blind, and the big blind came along as well. Action checked around on the 
flop, but when the turn came Sperber fired out a bet of 600.
He was called by both opponents, and action checked around again on the 
river. Sperber rolled over 
for the turned pair, and the other players mucked their hands.

Level 5
: 150/300, 0 ante
The registration desk is nearly closed on the multi-table satellite. The entries and rebuys have been fast and furious so the numbers are still a little fuzzy, but at least 240 entries have been recorded so far, and that's sure to grow. With play in Level 5, this will be the last chance for players to rebuy. Players can still get into the action until the end of the break after Level 5, but after that, registration will be done for the night.
