Two players in early position limped into a pot before Song Sun pushed his last 1,000 chips into the middle. Both limpers called and checked the pot down.
The board read 
and the all three hands were opened:
EP Player 1: 
EP Player 2: 
Sun: 
Sun's queens were best, tripling him up to around the starting stack of 3,000.

With the board reading 
, Theanne Sergeant was faced with a bet of 1,000 from her opponent. She elected to call, and the dealer burned a card then spiked a non-club ten on the river.
When checked to, Sergeant immediately blurted, "All in."
Her opponent quickly called and tabled 
only to see that Sergeant filled-up on the turn when she showed 
.
After eliminating her opponent, Sergeant laughed at our reporters and told them to use her first name only. "I'm going to be the next Cher," she explained.
Chester McQuillen, who works security at Planet Hollywood, was sitting with 1,250 in chips when he went all in with 
. He was called by the player on the button who tabled 
and things were looking bleak for McQuillen.
A flop of 
kept the aces out in front. However the 
came on the turn and McQuillen improved to a set. The 
on the river sealed the deal and allowed McQuillen to more than double his stack. He is currently sitting with about 3,200 in chips.
Take a look.
When we arrived at Table 60 in the Pavilion Room the dealer had already flopped 
in a raised pot.
Matthew Wilmot checked and so too did an opponent in middle position. A player on the button bet 600 and both Wilmot and the middle-position player called.
All three players checked the 
on the turn, but after the fell on the river Wilmot led for 800. Only the middle-position player called and Wilmot rolled over 
for a winning set of deuces.
"That river cost me money I think," Wilmot quipped as he stacked his winnings. He has reason to smile though, he now sits with over 8,000 in chips.
With there being a shortage of notable personalities at the Casino Employees Event, the other players at Jack McClelland's table took note of the media coverage around their table. A player at Seat 1 asked, "Excuse me sir, are you famous?"
McClelland paused for a moment before replying, "Well, I'm old."
The table had a quick laugh before McClelland shared that his occupation is Tournament Director at the Bellagio.
A few notable players have been spotted taking part in today's kickoff event.
Tournament guru Jack McClelland is seated at Table 20, Seat 7. Meanwhile, Anthony Yeh, who recently had two final-table runs at the 2010 Caesars World Series of Poker Circuit event is seated at Table 25, Seat 4.
Also spotted were Kyle Morris and Rachel Davis. Davis works over at the Bellagio where she "pitches cards and pushes pots" during the night shift most of the time. She is also the daughter of Michael Davis who won the Seniors World Championship event last year.
2007's World Series of Poker Main Event winner Jerry Yang was seen at Table 67 saying hello to John Stewart, the poker room manager at Tachi Palace in Lemoore, CA.
Before leaving, Yang wished "Good luck everybody."
