With level one action being incredibly fast, we have unfortunately found the seats of both Joe Sebok and Mike Leah empty.
They haven't been moved, but have unluckily found themselves a spot on the rail.

Steve Chanthabouasy opened to 1,600 from the button and Chuck 'danzasmack' Danielsson made the call from the big blind.
Danielsson check-called a 800-chip bet on the 
flop before both he and Chanthabouasy checked down the 
and 
on the turn and river.
Chanthabouasy tabled his 
, but it would be Danielsson's 
that would take down the pot and see him climb back to 18,000 after undergoing a rough start to the day losing more than half his starting stack.
Phil Gordon raised under the gun, and Alexander Queen made it three bets from the small blind. Gordon called, and the two men took a flop of 
. Gordon called a Queen bet there, and another one on the 
turn, and the 
came on the river. Queen checked this time, and one bet from Phil Gordon was enough to take down the pot without showdown.
Gordon - 66,000
Queen - 70,000
On a board reading 
Albert Minnullin fired out 1,600 only to have Matt Glantz bump it to 3,200.
With the action on Matt Hawrilenko on the button, he made it three bets to go, only to have Minnullin make it 6,400 total.
Glantz took his time before folding as Hawrilenko made the call.
The river landed the 
and Minnullin fired out 1,600 with Hawrilenko just calling.
Minnullin tabled his 
to rake in the pot to move to 67,000 as Hawrilenko and Glantz slipped to 25,500 and 14,000 respectively.
Joe Sebok and Robert Zoellner mixed it up in a preflop raising war that left Sebok all in for about 3,500 total, down from the near-10,000 he had a few moments ago. He held 
to Zoellner's 
, and off they went to see about Sebok's survival this time around.
The flop was no fun for Seebs as it came out 
. Sebok stood up and started packing his things as the raggy 
came on fourth street. The river sat him right back down, though, as the re-improved him to the winning trips and doubled him back up to 7,000.
After exchanging several bets on a board reading 
, Noah Boeken fired out 1,600 when the river landed the 
and was check-called by his opponent William Kakon.
"Nine-high" announced Boeken tabling his for a flush.
Kakon mucked and Boeken climbed up to 29,000 in chips.
We just saw the aforementioned "ElkY" heading out of the room with a quickness, so we figured he'd been relieved of his remaining 7,800 chips. A quick run by his table sees Hui Liu stacking up the Elk's former chips, confirmation that he has indeed been sent off to graze for the rest of the evening.
With the action on Nicholas Muraca he opened with a raise only to get three bet by Christopher Hartman from the big blind. Muraca committed the last of his chips and we were off to a showdown.
Muraca: 
Hartman: 
The board ran out 
to see Hartman river a pair to send Muraca to the rail and himself up to 42,000 in chips.
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened with a cutoff raise, and big blind Michael Binger called to see a flop.
It came , and Binger knocked the table. When ElkY bet, Binger raised, and they both got two small bets in there heading to the 
turn. Binger bet there, and again on the river, and ElkY called big bets on both streets.
Binger turned up 
at showdown, and his second pair was the best. ElkY mucked, dropping his stack down to 7,800 while Binger moves up close to 30,000.
In a battle of blinds we found David Baker checking a 
board with around 4,800 in the pot.
Alex Melnikow fired out 1,600 and Baker check-raised to 3,200. Melnikow hesitantly made the call as the peeled on the river and Baker continued with a 1,600-chip bet.
Melnikow released his hand and Baker took down the pot to climb over the 55,000-chip mark.
