Fresh off of his 14th place, $113,030 finish in the $50,000 Player's Championship, Allen Bari is present and now sitting at Table 3 next to Andy Bloch.
It'll be interesting to see if Bari can parlay his success from Event #2 into a successful series.
The cards are back in the air with the field gaining one more player during the break to sit on 358.
Level: 3
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
The tournament is now on a 20-minute break.
Currently we have just three spots remaining until the 360-player cap is reached.
So if you're in town and feel like handing over $5,000, then come on down to the Rio and register for Event 6.
A short-stacked player was all-in for his last few thousand and both Lex "RasZi" Veldhuis and Kirk Morrison made the call.
Both Morrison and Veldhuis checked the 
flop, but after the 
turned Veldhuis led for 1,625. Morrison folded and Veldhuis opened 
for broadway.
The short-stacked player tabled 
and a card we missed, needing a queen, but the river was a lonely 
.
Veldhuis recorded the KO and raked in a pot pushing his stack to 10,100.
Karolis Grybauskas opened to 575 from under the gun and Joe Serock three-bet to 1,375 on the button. Grybauskas four-bet shoved to 7,800 chips and Serock called.
Serock: 
Grybauskas: 
The board ran 
, doubling Grybauskas to 17,000 chips and dropping Serock to just 5,000 chips.
On a flop of Tim West fired out 1,800 only to have JC Tran bump the action to 4,200.
West put in the all-in three-bet and Tran called off his remaining chips.
West: 
Tran: 
With Tran in great shape to double through, he would still have to sweat West's straight flush-draw as the 
landed on the turn to change little.
Unfortunately for Tran, the dealer burned and turned the 
on the river to send the 2009 WSOP Bracelet winner to the rail. With that straight flush, West climbs to over 34,000 in chips.
On a board reading 
Gavin Smith fired out 2,100 only to get raised by an opponent to 5,300.
Smith made the call before angrily mucking his hand when shown the 
of his opponent as he slipped to 6,500 in chips.
After finding aces earlier to double through, Chris Ferguson has again found them - but this time to eliminate an opponent.
With all the chips going into the pot preflop it was Ferguson's in great shape against his opponent's Kings.
The 
flop put Ferguson squarely in the lead, but when the 
landed on the turn it gave both players a small sweat. Although the river did pair the board, fortunately for 'Jesus' there was no miracle here as it fell the 
to see the 2000 WSOP Main Event winner soar to 61,600 in chips.
Phil Hellmuth has graced us with his presence in the Pavilion Room.
Hellmuth is again sporting a green shirt today, but this time rather than a lime tint, it's more of a forrest green.
Let's see if he can keep his PEMM (Positive, Exercising, Meditating, and in the Moment) in check.
