That's One Way to Crack Aces

On a flop of {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} , a player in the three seat pushed all in against Sue Bierschback and she made the call. Bierschback showed {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} and her opponent showed {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. Bierschback's opponent was drawing to the two remaining aces. The turn of the {K-Hearts} was no help, but the river added insult to injury when the {10-Hearts} hit the board.

If your going to get your aces cracked, it might as well be against quads.

Busy In Brasilia

The 65-table Brasilia Room is also full of players today with some more big-name pros hitting the felt, including Erik Seidel, Ben Fineman, Bill Gazes, Joe Sebok, Rolf Slotboom, Humberto Brenes, TJ Cloutier and James Van Alstyne.

Tropical Room Draws Big Names

While the Amazon Room is full of players, there are plenty of big name pros spread right across the Rio. Out in the Tropical Room, which is usually reserved for satellites, today it finds itself home for Terrence Chan, Evelyn Ng, Andy Black, Kevin Saul, Gioi Luong and, on the very same table the two biggest talkers in the game, Mike Matusow and Gavin Smith.

Let's Get It Started!

The players are filing into the Amazon Room to the tune of "Let's Get It Started" by the Black Eyed Peas, in anticipation of the commencement of today's $2,000 No Limit Hold'em event. It's going to be a big field as already we have over 1,800 entrants which means we'll be overflowing into many different areas of the Rio.

We're about 15 minutes away from our scheduled start time, so stay tuned to PokerNews.com for all of the live action!

$2,000 No-Limit Hold'em at Noon

It's another midday start for a big-field event at the Rio on Friday. Today brings the noon start of Event 48, $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em, which will take up almost all available space in the Convention Center. Last year's edition of this event drew 2,038 entrants, and was taken down by Blair Rodman, in a victory worth $707,898.

You'll see plenty of big-name players in this one, so stop back at the crack of noon for live updates from the floor of the Rio.
