An early position player opened for 1,050 and Sirous Jamshidi called from the small blind. The flop came and Jamshidi check-called 1,800. The turn brought the and both players checked. The river paired the board a second time when it fell . Jamshidi slid out 2,700 and after a few moments of thought the original raiser folded.
After a series of raises, Anthony Gregg had an opponent all in and at risk.

The flop fell and Gregg's opponent shot up from his chair.
"What a squeeze!" he shouted as the turn and river came , respectively. "What a squeeze!"
Gregg didn't say a word, rather the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event final tablist sat quietly and riffled his remaining 28,000 chips.

"Playin day1B...." Chris Tryba just tweeted.
His chair is empty, so we can safely assume he has indeed been eliminated from Day 1a.

When we reached the table, Richard Lombardi had just moved all in with the board reading . His opponent was in the tank.
"Ok," he sighed. "Here's a donation. If you have a set of twos or fives, then you win." He called.
Lombardi turned over for quad queens.
"Queens are no good though," the player joked, turning over .
The river was a meaningless nine, and Lombardi doubled to 50,000 chips.

Jacob Bazeley is no longer with us in the tournament. He was a late registrant and was excited to secure a seat with a good view of the TV.
Just a few minutes ago he tweeted: "Well that was fun." His empty chair leads us to believe he is watching a game at one of the many bars here at Caesar's Palace.

After an open to 550 and a call, Dwyte Pilgrim three-bet to 2,100 from the small blind. The original raiser and the caller came along, and the dealer fanned . Pilgrim led for 4,100, the original raiser moved all in for 8,500, and the third player released.
Pilgrim's hand also hit the muck, and he's now sitting with less than the starting stack.

We have been informed that the player that was assisted out of the tournament room was taken up to his hotel room by medical staff. The player was unable to communicate with staff and was severely out of it.
He is resting for now and his stack is in play and being blinded off. We are still unsure of the cause of his problem.
