We didn't catch the hand but Liv Boeree has been eliminated from the tournament. She explained on her Twitter: "Played the quickest tournament ever at the WSOP, grand total of 15 hands." Maybe next time she'll last a little longer.

Kathy Liebert has been chatting away with her tablemates over at Table 43. "Too bad I couldn't have been in the T.O.C.," Liebert exclaimed. Obviously not everyone at the table knew what the T.O.C. was, so Liebert was kind enough to explain.
She was also kind enough to note that if she were in the T.O.C., she would certainly have more chips. She is already down to just 1,100.
On a board of , Ari Engel checked and the player in the cutoff moved all in for 1,000, which was enough to put Engel all in.

Although the official numbers aren't in yet, we can tell Day 1B has a few less players at the start than that of Day 1A. The Pavilion Room is much more quiet and there aren't as many tables being utilized.
The official numbers, along with the prizepool, should be announced during Level 3.

Seat 8:
Seat 9:
The laughter died down a little when the flop came , giving Seat 9 a runner-runner flush draw. Things quickly got serious when the hit the turn. Seat 8 stood from his seat and said, "Don't do this to me."
The dealer burned and revealed the on the river. Seat 8 breathed a big sigh of relief after realizing just how close to elimination he came.
We've just saw Gavin Smith in the white section of the Pavillion Room, "Are you playing this event?" we asked, "Sure!" said Smith.
He just won a bracelet yesterday and is already running after another!
