We mentioned before that Kevin "Bel0wAb0ve" Saul is in the Red Section of the Amazon Room, but there are plenty of other online wizards as well.
Dan "Wretchy" Martin, Jared "TheWacoKidd" Hamby, Jordan "scarface_79" Smith, Jon "PearlJammer" Turner, Jeff "yellowsub" Williams, Jeffrey "jpapola" Papola, Jon "sketchy1" Eaton and Kyle "KJulius10" Julius are all in the field today.
Let's hope they can avoid all live misclicks.
"I feel guilty constantly reporting this guy's downfall," sighed our reporter, but the truth is that Dan Shak has endured a horrific start to the day and is struggling to win a pot. He has been unfortunate, though.
Soon after his set-over-set encounter, Shak raised it up to 300 from early position and received two callers, one of whom was the big blind. On the 
flop, Shak continuation bet for 700. Just the big blind called.
With both players checking the 
turn, the big blind turned aggressor on the 
river by leading out for 700. Shak called, but found himself toppled by 
for the rivered straight.
Shak's stack dips once more; he's down to 7,800.
Orel Hershiser and two opponents checked their way to a river and were left with a board reading 
.
Hershiser had bet 350 preflop and led out on the river with a bet of 1,050. He was called by the player in the button but mucked when he saw his opponent's 
.
Hershiser is down down to 23,500.
Facing a raise to 300 and two calls, Liv Boeree opted to three-bet to 1,500 from the big blind. Only one player, the last to call the original raise, decided to come along.
The flop fell 
and Boeree led out for 1,600. Her opponent raised to 4,000 and Boeree called.
Boeree slowed down after the 
turned, check-calling 5,500 from her opponent.
The river was the 
and Boeree checked again. Her opponent moved all in for 15,175 and after some deliberation, Boeree made the call.
Her opponent tabled 
for top set and Boeree saw her stack slip to just 5,325.
We found Jennifer Tilly betting out 1,100 on the turn of a 
board, only for her young opponent (possessor, by the by, of extremely good posture, for a poker player) to raise to 3,000. Tilly considered it for some time, but eventually gave her opponent the respect of a fold.
It's not been a great start for Tilly - she's down to 23,000.
Kevin MacPhee opened to 300 from the cutoff seat, and he was called in three places.
The four players took a flop of 
, and action checked to MacPhee. He continued out with a bet of 450. The button called, and the other two players ducked out, and it was heads up to the turn. It was the , and MacPhee checked to his opponent this time. When the button bet 725, though, MacPhee check-raised to 2,500 and his opponent called. MacPhee bet 5,000 on the 
river, and the button called one last time.
At showdown, MacPhee tabled 
for top pair, but his hand was second-best. The button showed down 
, his kicker being good enough to take the pot.
MacPhee - 21,100
Five players made it to the 
flop but Eric Liu bet 1,000 and only one player called, meaning that they were heads up to the turn.
Liu bet out another 2,700 on the 
turn and his opponent called. They saw a 
river and this time Liu checked; his opponent checked behind.
When it came to showdown, Liu tabled a somewhat lacklustre 
for nothing more than king-high. His opponent revealed 
for trips, and Liu dipped back down to 37,000.
All throughout the Series, Perry Friedman has been wearing an array of hats ranging from a lamp shade to a meat feast pizza. For the Main Event, Friedman had gone patriotic, and opted for an Uncle Sam type hat.
Despite his unique fashion choices, Friedman is no amateur and has cashed an impressive 19 times at WSOP. That big score, however, has so far evaded him, but maybe this will be his year.
Currently, he has 29,000, but if he makes it to the November Nine, I shall tip my hat to him, although it shall be proverbial as I don't actually have one.
Jennifer Tilly bet out on every street of the 
board and her sole opponent called her all the way down. She eventually tabled 
for jack-high, and the other player's 
were good enough to take the pot.
She dipped down again, her stack this time settling on 21,600.
