Huck Seed made it 450 to go from the button, Sam Grizzle called from the small blind and Scotty Nguyen came along with a call from the big blind. Grizzle drew one, Nguyen drew two and Seed rapped pat.
Grizzle led out for 2,200 after the draw, Nguyen called, and Seed moved all in for 10,425. The bet chased Grizzle away but Nguyen made the call.
Seed turned up 8-6-5-4-2 and Nguyen mucked. Once in dire chip shape, Seed is back up to 26,400 (no add-on chips behind), while Nguyen is down to 12,300 after using his final add-on chip.

Big Papa's seat is locked up.
There's a post-it note affixed to the rail in front of the 1-seat on Table 243. It says one simple word that's very recongizable to anyone who's been around poker for even half a second.

Cards are back in the air after an extended break to balance some tables.
During the break, Roland de Wolfe and Yan Chen went over to one of the media tables looking for a deck of cards so that they could play Chinese Poker. They eventually procured one and played the entire twenty minutes until a floor person yelled at them and said it wasn't allowed.

Looks like Gus Hansen decided the field was juicy enough, as he just took a seat behind a stack of chips at the Andy Black/Greg Raymer/Billy Baxter "Table of Death."

Shawn Sheikhan's a bit hot under the collar, although we're not entirely sure why. He's spent the last five minutes complaining vociferously to one of the floor staff. It seems to be about a decision to pull the player in the big blind off of Sheikhan's table to balance out a new table. Sheikhan's table is now playing five-handed and he felt that this was an incorrect decision.
Meanwhile, the air temperature in the Brasilia Room is cool enough that several players put on jackets, sweatshirts and long-sleeve shirts during the break. Doyle Brunson complained, "It's freezing in here!"

There's still a few empty seats out there on the the tables. One of them is at Dario Alioto's table, where a lonely stack is slowly being blinded off. Alioto recently took a small pot from Nikolay Evdakov. Alioto raised before the draw to 625, drawing a call from Evdakov out of the blinds. Both players drew one card and then checked. Alioto's J-10-6-4-2 beat out Evdakov's ace-high.
