Today just doesn't seem to be Ted Forrest's day.
A short-stacked Forrest limped from middle position it folded to the player in the small blind. He raised to 3,000 and Forrest was his only caller.
The flop came down 
and Forrest's opponent tossed out a single orange t5,000 chips to put him all in. Forrest called and showed 
which was ahead of his opponent's 
.
Forrest was in the lead going to the turn when the fell. However, unfortunately for Forrest, he was forced to chop up the pot when the paired the board on the river giving each player aces and threes with a king kicker.
Forrest is still sitting on a short stack of about 5,300.

Earlier today, Doyle Brunson shocked the poker world by tweeting that he would not be taking part in today's World Series of Poker Main Event. Eventually he came to his senses though and it's a good thing he did, because he has managed to accumulate quite the healthy stack late into Day 1c.
TexDolly Doyle Brunson I'm not playing the main event because I'm really tired after 6 weeks of tough cash games, playing 10-12 hours every single day. Sorry.

TexDolly Doyle Brunson I'm having second thoughts about playing the main event. I'm pretty tired after all this playing but it's such a great event! 3 hours left.

Jamil Kanji and Erik Audé were heads up with the board reading 
.
"How much you got?" Audé asked Kanji. "Am I allowed to ask that?"
Kanji moved his hands so that Audé could see his stack, then fired 6,000. Audé grabbed a handful of orange T5,000 chips, raising to what looked like 30,000, and Kanji moved all in. Audé called.

Upon seeing Audé's hand, Kanji stood up and grabbed his backpack, throwing it over his shoulder, almost willing a third diamond to come. Indeed, the 
spiked on the turn, and Kanji was already headed to the exit by the time the completed the board.
"Good luck, everyone," he muttered while leaving.
Audé happily stack his chips and announced that he had "like 120 [thousand]," but upon counting his stack, it's more like 105,000.
