We passed by Allen Kessler's table to see him cut out a raise to an unknown amount before the flop. A player in the blinds called to see the 
flop fall down. A check to Kessler prompted a 1,400-chip bet. Kessler's opponent folded and Chainsaw was pushed the pot.
Despite this small victory, Kessler is still sitting just around starting stack with about 20,000 in chips.

Heading to his table to check in, we found him engaged in a heads up pot with an opponent. The board read 
and Glantz led out for 1,100. His opponent raised to 2,200 only to have Glantz come right back over the top with a three-bet. His opponent instantly mucked and Glantz dragged in the pot. He's now sitting at about 56,000 in chips.
Cord Garcia opened with a late position raise to 1,025. It folded to the big blind who became the sole caller.
The dealer fanned 
on the felt and Garcia's opponent check-called a bet of 1,200. The 
on the turn prompted a bet of 2,500 from the big blind. Garcia flat called to see the 
complete the board. A check to Garcia prompted a bet of 3,000 that was quickly called.
Garcia showed 
but was ultimately bested by his opponent's 
for a flush. The pot was moved to the opposite end of the table and Garcia is now sitting on about 24,500.
We picked up with the action on a board of 
. A player checked over to Kenny Nguyen who moved out 4,200. Nguyen's opponent thought for a moment before placing a call in front of him.
The river was the and Nguyen's opponent checked. Nguyen took pause before sighing and checking back. His opponent showed 
for top two and Nguyen laughed while flashing

Players are now on a 15-minute break.
We swung by Ken Silberstein's table to find him send a third player to the rail.
A player opened to 800 from under the gun and it folded around to the button who flat called. Silberstein made it 3,000 from the big blind and the original raiser shipped all in for roughly 8,000 total. The button folded and Silberstein flung out a call.

and he was able to add another knockout to his Day 1 resume. Last year's runner up is now sitting on about 69,500 in chips.
