Bracelet winner Peter Gelencser is pushing up the poker daisies. He got it all in preflop wth 
, but ran head-first into the American Airlines,

flop offered a glimmer of hope, all of which disappeared on a 
turn and 
river.
On a board of 
we saw Dorlan Schick bet 800 into a 1,500 chip pot with Adam Junglen making the call.
Schick showed 
for a straight that turned into the nut flush and Junglen mucked. Schick now has 13,800 chips while Junglen is down to 14,700.
Eugene Todd had raised to 350 in the cutoff but was re-raised to 1,025 from the player in the small blind. Todd decided to four-bet all in and was looked up by his opponent.

As has become the trend this year, the opening day of the 12pm event ground to a halt at the conclusion of the break as the latest two bracelet winners were honored in their very own ceremony: Steve Jelinek and, now, two-time bracelet winner Frank Kassela.
After the final beats of Stars and Stripes kicked in, Jack Effell congratulated both players on their achievements before repeating those immortal words: "Shuffle up and deal."
Consequently, players have now retaken their seats and play has resumed with Kassela looking to tie the current record of three bracelets in one Series.
Level: 3
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
If you were planning on hitting the can, we'd suggest waiting 20 minutes until players are back from break. Unless, of course, you aren't in the Rio. In that case, go ahead.
As expected, the World Series has attracted a plethora of countries from around the globe, but it's the Brits who have possibly caused the biggest stir. Adorning more jewelry of Mr. T and Scotty Nguyen's love child, the UK picked up bracelet number five last night, and there are plenty of UK-based players looking to echo Steve Jelinek's success today.
As well as November Niner James Akenhead, we also have fellow Hit Squad member Karl Mahrenholz, as well as Neil Channing, Jamie Roberts, David Tighe, Rob Sherwood, Sam Trickett and many more. If the Brits continue their good form, then there's no reason why they can't hit Vegas for six before the Main Event arrives.
We were a little late getting to this pot, but arrived in time to see John Little bet 1,100 into a flop of 
. He got called from his opponent and both players checked the on the turn.
When the 
came on the river Little took some time before deciding to check. His opponent was also slow to act, but eventually bet 1,550 into the pot. Little double-checked his cards, arranged his chips, and eventually made the call.
Little's opponent showed 
and Little, unable to beat it, mucked his hand. He's still sitting with about 6,000 chips, though.
PokerStars.com sponsored pro JP Kelly and online titan Andrew Lichtenberger reached the river of a 
board where Kelly bet 2,000 into a pot of around 1,500. Lichtenberger made the call, but quickly mucked upon being show for a flopped open-ended straight flush draw which made a straight on the turn. As a result, Lichtenberger is down to 6,100, whilst Kelly has surpassed him with 7,000.
