Thanks to Bluff Magazine for the update on the Andy Beal vs. The Corporation. Here is a little excerpt from this past Sunday's Events:

"Andy Beal Had a HUGE day at the tables. Play resumed today, at 11PST. I guess last week was just a lead in, because there were fire works today. From the looks of things Jennifer was playing very agressively all day, and Andy countered that agression with a relentless attack of his own. There were many more showdowns, and heavily contested pots.

With both sides starting with 4 racks (10 million) It looked like Andy Beal has erased his loss from last week, and pulled ahead. Word is that, Andy while ahead all day, finsihed the day up almost 2 Racks, or 5 Million dollars. Jennifer battled back from being down most of the day, but everytime she was ready to pull even, Andy would find a way to win a big pot. It seems to me this was by far the most spirited match of the 6 days of play.

In Attendance were some familiar faces. David Grey, Johnny Chan, Minh Ly were all in the room for some parts of the match. Also making his first appearance at Wynn, was none other than the man himself Doyle Brunson.

Doyle Brunson will be playing Andy Beal tomorrow morning!!"

Finally some insight being brought to us on some of the big games. I mentioned yesterday how Andy Beal had packed it in for five days and now he is back and by the looks of it he is back in a big way. I'll keep my ear to the ground and as soon as I hear more info on Beal vs. Corporation games I'll let you all know.
