Event 1: Play it Again, Sam

$400 + $50 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Despite this headline, "Play it Again, Sam," being misquoted from the classic film Casablanca, the sentiment pertains in this re-entry tournament.

Austen Johnson (Woodsboro, MD) feels the pain on his first hand when he flops set over set and is back in the registration line. He's now at the same table as James Boyle and Kelly Armentrout.

Also starting with a fresh 25k stack is Eric Siegel (Melville, NY), who was a victim of flush over flush and says, "does it matter how high in a re-entry tournament," as he sheepishly admits his 8-high flush was no good.

All re-entry players are seated in the 10 seat as all tables began play 9-handed.

As for the movie, Ingrid Bergman's actual line was, "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'," a song that Humphrey Bogart's character had strictly forbid the house pianist from playing.
