Adam Friedman is among those who have joined the field. He's dropped some chips early, commenting that "this might be one of those seven bullet" tournaments.
It's still plenty early though, and unlike some others in the field he's still on his first of those potential bullets.

Timothy Vu has had to re-enter the tournament after busting to Scott Lennon.
As told by Lennon, he called Vu's all-in bet on the turn holding top pair, top kicker with ace-king on a king-high three-club board, while Vu jammed with

MSPT dealer Paul Zgheib was given the day off to play in today's event and he's making the most of it so far.
After Laurette Thurber had made it 2,800 in the cutoff, Zgheib moved all in approximately 23,000.
Thurber called and a classic race was underway.
Thurber's 
was up against Zgheib's 
, and after flopping a king, Zgheib held to double up early and send Thurber to the registration desk for a re-entry.
