While most of the field seems to have taken care of feeding themselves prior to the start of the tournament, a few prefer to fuel themselves while playing cards. One of those players is David Singer, who is currently enjoying a take-out container full of a very healthy-looking veggie stir-fry.
Phil Hellmuth... we'll, he's not so much of a BYO kind of guy. We just spotted a Harrah's employee calling up one of the property's restaurants to request delivery of a meal for the Poker Brat.
"It's for Phil Hellmuth... it's like, pasta with chicken and tomato sauce with veggies on the side. Same thing he got last time. Just tell the chef it's for Hellmuth and he'll know what I'm taking about."
Gus Hansen is up to approximately 160,000 chips after making a wheel in razz against Chris Reslock. There was at least one bet on every street and by the river the players showed:

Reslock (X) (X)
(X)Reslock mucked his hand and was left with about 79,000 in chips, while Hansen appears to be the early leader, now with just over 160,000.
Erick Lindgren just took a decent pot when Noah Jefferson couldn't call his river bet.
Lindgren: (X) (X)
(X)Jefferson: (X) (X)
(X)Lindgren bet the whole way and Jefferson called through sixth street. When Lindgren tossed out a bet on the river however, Jefferson tossed his hand in.
, Fitoussi bet out and induced Rafi Amit and Nick Schulman to fold. "My first pot!" Fitoussi said, and incredibly, it was indeed the first hand he'd won since play started. He's now up to 74,000.
. Colin was showing 
, and when the final card was dealt Bryan check-called Schneider's bet. Colin showed 
for an 8-6-5-4-A and Schneider tossed his cards in the muck. He's down to 67,000 and after that hand he stood up and took a slow walk to the rail and back. Colin is up to 112,000.
