Coming back from the break, we see that the aforementioned Murderers' Row at Table 20 has been broken up. Roberto Romanello is nowhere to be found, and we'll presume he's been eliminated until we know different.
Sometimes that happens when you have Angel Guillen and Mike Sowers on your direct left.

While we haven't seen Joe Hachem join the action, but his brother Tony was already forced to leave the tournament. We caught Hachem on the rail and he brought us up to speed with the hands he lost. It went down like this:
Hachem raised to 550 with 
and got called by three players. The flop came down 
with two clubs and one player called Hachem's 2,200 continuation bet. On the turn the 
hit and Hachem threw out 3,300. Once again he got called, and the river was the 
. Hachem again bet 3,300 and his opponent decided to raise to 8,800. Hachem made the call and was up against 
.
The final hand he lost was very unlucky. Hachem got his final 6,700 chips into the pot with 
and one of the players called him with 
. The board ran out 
, "And the river blanked", Hachem cried as he slowly headed to the exit.

Melanie Weisner is in the field today on her own dime, but she's trying to change that right now; she is currently upstairs in Studio 3 with Tony G and a unicycle.
Two days ago, The G issued a challenge that if Weisner could ride the unicycle for two laps around a poker table, he'd freeroll her into the Main Event. The lady intended to play Day 1b yesterday, but she chose to spend a few hours at the circus of all places, getting some pointers and practice runs from those most comfortable on the one-wheeled bike.
We'll let you know how it pans out for Weisner when she gets back to the tournament in a few minutes. Hopefully still in one piece. And hopefully freerolling courtesy of Tony G.
