Amongst the sports stars playing today is former Olympic gold medalist from Britain (yes, we do have them) Audley Harrison. Harrison won the Super Heavyweight gold medal in Sydney in 2000 before turning professional a year later.
He's currently punching above the average chip count at the moment though, he has 56,500.
It's Jack's Links Beef Jerky time! Not for Vanessa Rousso, but for her opponent who fired a bet of 5,000 on the river on a board of with Rousso making the call down.
Her opponent tabled for the unmistakable quad jacks to collect the pot and the bounty of the $100 Jack's Links prize pack.
Meanwhile after a promising start to the day, Rousso is down to 21,600.
It took 11 minutes and 41 seconds for Matthew Marafioti to finish all ten shots, but the real question is whether or not he can keep them down.
With just under an hour remaining in the day, you would expect Marafioti to quiet down and try and keep fairly reserved so as to win the bet.
However Marafioti has sparked up even more, chatting more and more to the table and especially Tom Dwan . . . even calling him a fish at one point.
"Fish, fish, fish, nit, fish, fish" he stated as he pointed from seat one (Dwan) around the table back to him.
Marafioti is handling himself in the poker department fairly well at the moment with 61,500 in chips in comparison to Dwan's 21,600 - hopefully he can hold onto them . . . and the Patron as we wind up play for the night.
Paul Darden has just found a fortunate double up. He was all in preflop with pocket kings against pocket aces, but when the board ran out , Darden had made a straight to double to 13,500.
On a nearby table Doug Kim has doubled with versus to get himself back to 20,000.
Scott Clements long-standing fight with his short stack has just come to an end after running into quads.
The last chips of Clements were in the middle on the turn on a board of with Clements holding but he found himself drawing dead against his opponent's .
The meaningless river was the and Clements hits the rail late on Day 1d.
With Scott Fischman all in preflop, David Benyamine moved all in on a for his last 15,800. The third player in the hand made the call with but Benyamine flipped for top set.
Fischman exclaimed, "I have backdoor outs!" turning over .
The turn was the and the river the , which caused Benyamine to stir a little. However he's now up to 100,000 now and chip leader on his table.
Matthew Marafioti has accepted the aforementioned prop bet from Tom Dwan and has since begun throwing back shots of Patron.
One Tournament Director came over and expressed his concern at the potential of Marafioti being sick on the floor and resulting in a table move and a very substantial disturbance to play in the Miranda Room.
Tom Dwan however comforted the Tournament Director a little when he confirmed that he would donate $5,000 to the charity of the Tournament Director's choice, and in his name, if Marafioti happens to be . . . sick.
The score board at the moment . . . 7 shots down, 3 to go, and all done in just 4 minutes so far!
A short-stacked Nenad Medic just pushed his small stack of 3,150 in before the flop with and found himself up against a player holding .
Medic's heart sunk as the appeared as the first card on the flop. But the dealer slid his hand to reveal the and , and Medic felt better. The turn was the and the river the , and Medic is now back to 8,500.
As most people know Tom 'durrrr' Dwan loves getting involved in any action he can find - whether it be while playing or away from the table.
Currently in the second hour of a massage, Dwan started ordering drinks once returning from the break . . . and hasn't stopped.
Recently he challenged fellow high stakes online player Matthew Marafioti to a drinking prop bet that revolved around Marafioti putting down ten shots of Patron in 15 minutes without throwing up.
If he succeeds then Dwan will pay him $5,000, but if he doesn't then he owes Dwan the same amount.
The shots have been ordered, delivered and are now waiting patiently on an adjacent table.
