Men 'The Master' Nguyen has just entered the tournament, seated next to professional player Tony Cousineau and recent bracelet winner Jerrod Ankenman.

Stay tuned as the action unfolds!

We are unsure of how he busted, but this tournament is now going to have a new champion for 2009.

Still Not Johnny

It's Terrence!
It's Terrence!
After one limper, Terrence 'Not Johnny' Chan raised to 350. The rest of the table folded back round to the original limper who made the call.

They both checked the flop of {5-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} to see the limper then bet pot of 850 when the {7-Clubs} fell on the turn. Chan reluctantly put in his last 950 chips with his opponent calling.

Chan: {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {6-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

The river landed the {7-Spades}, and after starring blankly at the board for a few moments, Chan was pushed the pot with his Ace-Queen high to see him double to 2,550.

Jason Who?

Jason who?
One of our PokerNews reporters wandered over to see what was going down on Jason Mercier's tabled.

Not in the hand, Mercier was autographing a WSOP hat for the elderly gentleman seated to his right.

Once he scribbled a very cursive Jason Mercier onto the side of the wide hat that was already littered with signatures from the likes of Chris Ferguson and Grey Raymer. The elderly gentleman asked politely, "how do you say it?"

"Jason . . . Mer-c-er" responded Mercier, "M, E, R, C, I, E, R" he added.

"Oh ok" muttered the elderly gentleman as he put away the sharpie and hat to play the hand that was being dealt.

Nice Hand Mr. Meehan

2003 Bracelet winner 'Minneapolis' Jim Meehan saw a five-way flop of {9-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} .

Everyone checked it to Meehan who put in his last 1,150 with only one player making the call.

Meehan showed {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {5-Spades} . "I didn't think you'd go all in there with an ace" snarls his opponent as he showed {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The turn and river fell the {Q-Hearts} and {7-Hearts} to see Meehan double through.

Meehan is up to 3500 in chips with one rebuy chip still available.

Medic Clipped

Catching the action on the flop of {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} Nenad Medic led out for 400 and was check-raised all in by his opponent.

Medic made a crying call tabling his {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to be in terrible shape against his opponents {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

The turn an river landed the {J-Hearts} and {3-Spades} to see Medic ship the pot to his opponent, and be left with just a single 1,000-denomination chip and one add on chip.
