We caught up with young British up-and-comer Sida Yuen on the 
flop. His opponent had checked and Yuen bet 700, which his opponent quickly called.
Both players checked the 
turn, and the player out of position checked again on the 
river. Yuen bet 1,000 and his opponent made the call. When they got to showdown, Yuen turned over pocket jacks, but his opponent revealed pocket threes for a flopped set and turned full house, and Yuen dropped to 8,000.
We caught up with Chad Brown on the river of a 
board with around 5,000 in the pot. He was checking. His opponent bet 3,200 with 6,000 left behind, driving Brown into the tank for a few moments. Eventually, with some regret in his expression, Brown folded.
Brown was at 21,100 after that.
With the board reading 
, nothing happened. By which we mean there was a pause while the player who was first to act considered his options. Greg Mueller in position was impatient though.
"Dealer, can you please watch the action so we know what's going on?" he said, somewhat snappishly.
The dealer looked a little confused. "I don't know what's going on," he hazarded eventually. Finally the player checked and Mueller checked behind.
They saw a 
river and the unknown player bet out. Mueller now raised all in for his whole 10,000 stack, enough to cover his opponent, and after a little while the hapless player folded leaving himself just 1,525. Mueller upped his stack to 18,000.
After the hand Mueller tried to apologize to the dealer, although he actually in the process managed to further imply that the dealer was not fully focused on the task at hand. The dealer nodded a lot and said it was all right.
Players are back at the tables and cards are back in the air.
By the by the number on the board right now is 568. We're not sure if that's official yet, but registration is now closed.
Level: 3
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
Two levels are in the books and that means it's time for our first 20-minute break of the day. Expect this one to be a little longer though because of the bracelet ceremony though.
First of many. Players will be back in 20.
"It's so cold in here," giggled the ever-cheerful Darus Suharto, wandering over to the bloggers' desk.
And no wonder - they like their air con at the Rio and the Canadian PokerStars Pro is wearing shorts. We pointed out that if he makes it through the day it's likely to get colder too as the room slowly empties of people.
"I'll take it though," he laughed, and began to perform some really very athletic frog jumps down the aisle in an attempt to warm up. This did not escape the notice of Barry Shulman at the next table, himself wrapped up in a sweater, hood up.
"You should put on some pants," he called over.
We found Nick Stowell betting 500 on the turn of a 
board. His opponent, who'd checked just before, thought about it for while before folding. Stowell showed him 
for his troubles.
It looks as though Stowell took an early hit, as that pot put him back up to a slightly-below-starting-stack 14,000.
