Heimiller Pushed Out
Dan Heimiller, who is currently fourth on the WSOP Player of the Year board, was on the button and had action fold around to him. He decided to put some pressure on the blinds by raising to 125.
The small blind took little time to fold and it was up to the big blind. Determined not to be pushed out, the big blind announced a reraise to 375. Heimiller thought about it, perhaps considering his positional advantage, but opted to fold. He is now down to 4,025.
You Know You've Made It When . . .
"This player doesn't have I.D!" announced a dealer towards her Tournament Director.
Walking over, the Tournament Director just shrugged and gave the dealer a nod that he fine to take his seat.
"You just can't help but start some shit!" uttered Amnon Filippi from the nearby table.
A very tired looking Roland De Wolfe just looked blankly back at Filippi before playing his first hand.
More Notables

So Who's Here So Far
Gavin Griffin, Shannon Shorr, Chris Bjorin and David Sands are located on the major side of the Pavilion Room, while Theo Tran, John Juanda, Joe Sebok, Jared Hamby, Issac Haxton, Mike Sowers and Ivan Demidov are seated on the opposite side of the room.
Luck Be A Lady!
The lovely ladies have already made their way into today's tournament.
Lauren Kling and Veronica Dabul are seated together, while Fatima De Melo, Beth Shak, Shannon Elizabeth, Kara Scott and Vannessa Rousso are also seated around the room.
Fashionably Late
There are still a lot of empty seats here in the Pavilion. Players are still trickling in and will probably continue to do so throughout the first two levels. That doesn't mean there aren't some familiar faces here. Allen Kessler, David "The Maven" Chicotsky, Jonathan Little, Bernard Lee and PokerNews' own Rich Ryan are already in action.
Aaarrgghhh Aces!
"C'mon I don't want this hand right away!" screamed an opponent as he slammed down his pocket Aces.
He turned to his partner on the rail, "I had Aces hun!"
The question is . . . when don't you really want them?
Play Underway
The cards are now in the air!
We will be playing ten one-hour long levels today with each player starting with a 3,000-chip starting bank.
Not only is there a life-changing amount of money on the line, a coveted gold bracelet and title of champion, Jack Effel has just announced that the winner will also walk away with a box of Amiv Vahedi's famous cigars.
