You may know Mario Silvestri as by his online aliases, "Pwnasaurus" and "Deuce2High", and by the fact that he was a member of the well-known Ship It Holla Ballas, a group of young up-and-coming poker players back in 2006. Silvestri, who hails from Texas, is in today's field.
In a recent hand, a player limped in middle position and inspired the small blind to do the same. Silvestri then raised to 600 from the big, only the middle-position limper called, and the flop fell 
. Silvestri continued for 700, and it was enough to get the job done as his opponent sent his cards to the muck.
It wasn't much of a hand, but with that win Silvestri is just about back to the starting stack.

We found some new faces in the field on our last walkabout. Actually, all of these players are re-entries, with the exception of Shawn Rice (or at least we didn't see him play on Day 1a).

La Sengphet has become synonymous with the WSOP Circuit as her and her boyfriend, David Clark, travel to most stops. Given Choctaw is just north of their hometown of Dallas, it's no surprise to see both in today's field. Unfortunately, Sengphet just experienced a major setback.
In one of the last hands before the level went up, we caught the action on the river with 9,000 in the pot and a board reading 
. Austin Buchanan had just bet 8,500 from the big blind and action was on Sengphet. She sat in silent contemplation for a solid minute before tossing in a call with two grey T5,000 chips. Buchanan then rolled over 
for aces full of jacks, and Sengphet flashed before sending her cards to the muck.

Souvoravong:
The dealer rapped the table, then spiked the
