A bunch of players came through the doors at the break and have taken a seat. Former champions Koray Aldemir, Wai Kin Yong, and Manig Loeser are now seated along with yesterday's 6-Mac champion Stefan Schillhabel.
Luc Greenwood is also back in the mix becoming this afternoon's first player to re-enter.

The first two levels on Day 1 are in the books and with that comes a 10-minute break.
An all-Canadian battle produced a massive pot during the final moments of the second level.
With about 75,000 in the middle and a board reading 
, Daniel Dvoress bet 60,000 out of the small blind, and Luc Greenwood called on the button.
The 
completed the board on the river and Dvoress took a moment before moving all-in. Greenwood snap-called and Dvoress showed him the bad news.
Dvoress tabled 
for a turned set of kings and Greenwood smiled flashing a flopped set of jacks.
It didn't take long for Erik Seidel to get into the action and get his whole stack in the middle.
From late position, Seidel bet 60,000 on the turn of a 
board. Stephen Chidwick called in the cutoff bringing the 
on the river.
Seidel slid his stack forward, moving all-in and Chidwick snap-called.
Seidel tabled 
making a straight on the river and Chidwick turned over 
, having his aces cracked by the legend.
Fortunately, for Chidwick, this is a re-entry event so he has time to cool off before firing again.
The man sitting in second place on the all-time money list has just arrived at the Main Event. American pro Erik Seidel has US $33,105,082 in career live-recorded tournament earnings, just over US $1,000,000 behind Canadian poker legend Daniel Negreanu.
Seidel has the opportunity to claim the number one spot if he is able to make a deep run over the next three days. Stay tuned.
As expected, the stars keep walking through the doors here at the Galaxy Macau Hotel poker room. Recent entries include Fedor Holz, Nick Petrangelo, Christian Christner, and Quan Zhou.

Ante: 200
With just minutes left in the opening level here on Day 1, there has already been a double up.
It is unclear how many bets before Isaac Haxton's mid-position preflop raise to 13,300 but Mikita Badziakouski called on the button. The flop was 
and Haxton bet 20,000. Badziakouski raised to 55,000 and Haxton called.
The 
hit the turn and Haxton checked. Badziakouski took several minutes before moving all-in for 163,600. Haxton went into the tank and eventually came out with a call.
Badziakouski: 
Haxton:
Haxton was drawing to a chop and unfortunately, for him, the 
on the river sent the vast majority of his chips across the table.
