Gordon is Golden
Level 4
: 150/300, 0 ante
Thanks to a handy double-KO on table 24, Phil Gordon has now almost tripled his starting stack as we approach the next break.
The player under the gun raised before another player in middle position called all-in for 250. Gordon called, as did the small blind before the dealer produced the flop of 
.
The small blind checked to the UTG who led out, but Gordon quickly raised. The small blind folded, the UTG player reraised and Gordon four-bet, forcing the UTG all-in.
UTG: 
Gordon: 
Middle position: 
Gordon's set held up after the turn and river ran out 
, 
and two more were added to the casualty list as Gordon chips up to 12,500.
D'oh!
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
No sooner than we had ramped up the possibility of a Poker Brat vs durrrr showdown, Phil Hellmuth goes all busto on us. Just our luck!
As Cyriel super4real Dohman recalled to us, Hellmuth moved the last of his money into the middle before the flop with 
, but Dohman had him outkicked with 
, which somehow, to his amazement, held up. No doubt that that would have been most displeasing for Mr. Hellmuth.
Dohman is now up to 4,100 in chips.
Schoenberg Shows Up, Dwan AWOL?
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Our eagle-eyed PokerNews reporters have found a couple more big names here in today's field, but only one of them is here so far.
Erica Schoenberg has been seated at table 40 and has been involved in some action, but currently sits on around 2,200. And according to Daniel Negreanu's recent tweet, Dutch Boyd is now seated at his table.
We also stumbled across another stack that was being blinded away, right next to Phil Hellmuth on table 68. According to the floorman, one Thomas durrrr Dwan is to be seated there. He's currently tied up over in Event #5, but once he does arrive in the Pavillion Room, there's almost certainly going to be some fireworks between those two!
Another Jeff Bites the Dust
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
The latest victim of this limit hold'em tournament is another man named Jeff; Jeff Madsen to be exact. On a board of 
Madsen had to put his last 200 in the middle tabling 
and was behind his opponent's 
. The turn and river were no help to Madsen and he was sent packing. Madsen's opponent mentioned something about a bounty and a clearly dejected Madsen pulled out his wallet, dropped $50 on the table and walked away.

It's the Rail for Shulman
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Shortly after doubling up with a rivered straight, Jeff Shulman busted out of this tournament to the 
of Jimmy Matz. Matz paired his ace on the flop and it was enough to send Shulman to the rail.
DeBora's Done
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
"One seat on 22!" was the cry from the dealer, and we rushed over to discover that Greg DeBora was no longer there in seat nine; we then noticed that Matt Schreiber was raking in the last of his chips.
As Schreiber recalled to us, the money was all-in on a seven-high flop, with DeBora looking to double up with pocket eights. The only problem was that Schreiber had him crushed with pocket queens.
Neither the turn or the river changed anything and DeBora was sent to the rail. Schreiber is now up to 8,900 in chips.
Shulman Rivers Broadway
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Jeff Shulman recently got it all in preflop, being down to his last 300 chips. Shulman tabled the 
and was called by the big blind's 
.
It looked like the day was over for Shulman when his opponent hit big with a
flop. Shulman was even closer to elimination when the 
fell on the turn. However, the table was in awe when the 
struck on the river, giving Shulman Broadway and keeping him alive in this tournament.
Hellmuth's in the House!
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
It was a much more understated arrival than in previous events, but we can confirm that 11-time WSOP bracelet winner and 1989 World Champion Phil Hellmuth, Jr. is playing in this event today, over on table 68.
He's currently on 3,000 chips, but another past Main Event champion is more than double that, with 2009 WSOP Europe winner Barry Shulman currently on 6,300 in chips. The same can't be said for son Jeff Shulman, who's running on fumes right now with just 300 in chips.
