Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
It's not yet a seventh bullet like he joked, but Adam Friedman is on his third, and unfortunately for the four-time WSOP bracelet winner this one isn't off to a great start either.
On a turn reading 
, action was checked to Friedman in late position, where he bet 1,200. Only Adrian Lopez in the big blind called.
Lopez then led for 2,500 on the 
river, and while he didn't look thrilled, Friedman flicked in a call to see the bad news.
Lopez tabled 
for a rivered set of fours, and Friedman mucked his hand.

The 55 players in the field have been sent on their first 10-minute break of the day.
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Timothy Vu is proving to be the king of overbetting in today's event. This time on his third bullet, it worked out well for him.
On a river board of 
, and just 2,000 in the pot, after Steve Westberg checked in the small blind, Vu jammed 24,000 under the gun.
Westberg went into the tank for a couple of minutes before calling.
Vu showed 
for a full house, while Westberg could only show 
for trip tens.
The loss left Westberg on fumes, but he's since doubled up to about 30 big blinds, while Vu now has more than two starting stacks.

Action was checked to Timothy Vu on the button on a four-way flop of 
.
Vu put in a massive overbet of 11,000 into the 2,400 chip pot and was called by Luis Perez in middle position.
On the 
turn, after Perez checked to him, Vu moved in for his last 7,000 and was called by Perez.

Vu was ahead with his two pair, but the 
fell on the river to give Perez a better two pair, sending Vu off to enter for a third time.
Meanwhile, Rich Alsup was just seen heading to the registration desk. He kindly informed PokerNews that he got his money in on the turn with an open-ended straight flush draw on a ten-high board and was called by his opponent's pocket jacks. No help came for Alsup, who is now onto his second bullet.
