Jeff Sarwer opened from middle position for 1,400, and it folded around to Thomas Sanders in the small blind who reraised all in for 8,120. The big blind folded, and after a brief count of the chips, Sarwer said he was calling.
Sanders showed 
and Sarwer 
. The flop came 
, putting Sarwer ahead with fours. The turn was the 
and river the 
, and Sanders hits the rail as we near the end of Level 9.
Sarwer now has 26,800.
Antonio Esfandiari is back for today's Day 2. Well, sort of.
Esfandiari returns to a stack of 23,775 today, though is also still alive over in the WSOP Tournament of Champions. Fortunately for Esfandiari, his table draw today places him on one of the outer tables of our (sprawling) section here in the Amazon, only a short walk over to the secondary feature table where his TOC stack is located.
Just now Esfandiari stood by his table here waiting for the action to come to him, folded his hand, and quickly skipped back over to the TOC to battle Chan, Nguyen, Hachem, Seidel et al.

Short stack Adam Dahlin moved all in in late position, and Daniel Illingworth called in the small blind.
Showdown
Dahlin: 
Illingworth: 
The board 
gave Dahlin a passport to the rail. Illingworth is now up to 59,000 chips.
"I just want to make a WSOP cash!"
So said one of the short stacks as cards went in the air here at the start of Day 2. We begin about 150 spots off of the money, so still a ways to go for him and everyone else before we burst that bubble.
There are about 12 minutes left in Level 9 as we begin.
Level: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
Welcome to Day 2 of Event #47, the fifth of six open-field $1,000 no-limit hold'em events on this year's WSOP schedule.
A total of 3,128 runners came out over the weekend for this one, and of that group 476 return for today's Day 2. Sergey Chernykh returns to the biggest stack today, with Tom Braband and Olivier Busquet among those in the top ten.
Others returning to above average stacks are two-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Madsen, four-time WSOP bracelet winner Mickey Appleman, and 2003 Main Event champ Chris Moneymaker. Scott Montgomery -- winner of the most recent of these $1,000 buy-in NLHE events (Event #36) also returns to a twice-average stack.
The top 324 finishers will be cashing, so it shouldn't be too long today until that money bubble bursts. Cards go in the air at 2:30 p.m. local time. Come back then to follow the next chapter of the Event #47 story.
