Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Players are back in their seats and Level 13 is underway. There will be three more 40-minute levels played tonight.
With the start of this level, late registration has ended. It was just announced that a total of 502 entered today, with 198 of those who started Day 1b still with chips.
Add that 502 to yesterday's 354 entries, and the inaugural WSOP Circuit Main Event here at Harrah's Cherokee has drawn an impressive 856 total entries, making it the fourth largest ME tourney thus far on the 2012-13 schedule.
Prize pool and payout information will no doubt be coming shortly, and we'll pass that along as soon as it arrives.
Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Four limpers entered a hand, and just two were left battling for it by fourth street with the board showing 
.
Mark Smith was one of them, but when he fired a bet of 1,600 into the middle his lone opponent pushed all in for about 20,000, forcing Smith to let his hand go.
Smith still sits with more than 60,000, about 10k ahead of the average stack in the room at the moment.

Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
A player opened to 7,200 from early position, Matt Silva moved all inf or 29,500 from middle position, and Matthew Chang called all-in on the button. The original raiser sighed, then called, committing the majority of his stack.
Original Raiser: 
Silva: 
Chang: 
The dealer spread 
, giving Chang a pair of tens, but Silva took a commanding lead with a set of tens. It was all over when the 
turned, and a meaningless 
completed the board.
Chang was eliminated, while Silva nearly tripled up to 80,000 chips.

Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
A player with about 15,000 left limped in from under the gun, then another short stack raised from the button to 4,100, leaving himself about 17,000 behind.
The action was then on William Looper in the small blind. With considerably more in his stack than either of the other two players, Looper pushed out a reraise to 15,500. The big blind quickly folded, and with much disgust the limper let his hand go, too. The action back on the button player, he thought about a half-minute before finally releasing his hand, also less than pleased for having been forced to do so.
Looper's current stack of 58,000 is just over the average right now, but from the perspective of those with less, he's making it hard for others at the table to make any moves.

Level 14
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Rick Hensley opened from under the gun, a player in middle position three-bet jammed for 18,300, and Jeremy Menard cold four-bet to 38,200 from the big blind. Hensley quickly called.
Both players checked it down as the board ran out 
.
"Kings," Menard announced, showing 
.
Hensley instantly mucked, and the all-in player showed 
for a winning pair of aces, doubling up.
