Youngest Player Doubles
Logan Deen is playing in his first ever WSOP today and there's no question that he's the youngest player in the field. Deen chose to play in Day 1B as it happens to fall on his 21st birthday. He's had a rail of supporters with neon colored signs cheering him on all day as he participated in the most prestigious poker tournament in the world.
Unfortunately, Deen has been running short on chips as of late. After being short stacked for a bit, Deen finally shoved all in preflop for his last 3,300 and received one caller:
Deen: 
Opponent: 
Deen was behind and would need help on the flop. The flop came 
and gave Deen top pair and the lead in the hand. The turn brought the 
giving him two pair and the river bricked out for his opponent when it fell 
. Deen was able to double up to around 8,000 in chips.

Antonius Finds Value On The River
We walked over to Patrik Antonius's table and saw him heads up in a pot that already had 12,000 in the middle. The board read 
, and the small blind checked to Antonius, who bet out 5,500. He was called, and the river brought the 
. The small blind checked again, and as Antonius has been known to do, he sat motionless for about 90 seconds before reaching for his chips. He ended up putting together a bet of 7,500, and slid it into the middle. The small blind tanked for about two minutes, clearly pained by the decision, as the bet represented half his stack. He ended up making the call, and Antonius showed 
for the bottom straight. It was good enough to win, as his opponent mucked his hand, boosting Antonius back up over 80,000.

Kelly Doubles Amid Confusion
We only showed up to the table to see the hand over and the full 
board out and all of Dan Kelly’s chips out in front of him. The other player had for a flush but Dan Kelly had 
for a full house if we heard correctly, all of the chips went in on the turn. At some point though, chips got mixed up and it was unclear how much the other player had put in and owed Kelly. This brought forth a bit of debate between several players including William Thorson and the dealer in an attempt to figure things out. Eventually, it was settled and Kelly doubled up.

"We're Not Playing Blackjack..."
Four limpers including Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott saw a flop of 
. Action checked around to Ulliott who fired out a bet of 2,000. Action folded back around to a player in middle position who decided to toss out a check-raise, making it 5,000 to go. Ulliott quickly called.
The turn brought the 
and the player continued his aggression with a bet of 5,000. Devilfish called once again and the river came 
. Devilfish's opponent slowed down this time, checking, and Devilfish checked behind as well.
Devilfish's opponent tabled 
for ace-king high.
"You know we're not playing blackjack? We're playing hold'em!" Ulliott remarked as he flipped up for two pair. He scooped the pot, a wry smile never leaving his face.

The Random Fans
Over on the Main Feature table, most of the fans are pulling for Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, but a few self-proclaimed "random fans" are pulling for Mr. Marcelo Barchi.
"He blows us kisses," one girl told us. "So far I like him."
Barchi gave his fans a reason to cheer recently, when he doubled through Josh Ladines. Mike Matusow opened opened to 10,500 from early position, Barchi called on the button, and Lardines called out of the small blind. The flop fell 
, and Lardines led for 1,750. Matusow called, Barchi raised to 4,000, Lardines called, and Matusow tank-folded.
The turn was the

Lardines: 
Barchi: 
Barchi needed to fade a ten, and successfully did so when the 
hit the river, doubling him to 64,600 chips.

Jean-Robert Bellande raised to 850 in early position and was only called by the big blind. The flop came down

river. Bellande turned over which was good as his opponent mucked and Bellande gave a little smile as he raked in the chips.
