Welcome back to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.
A total of 1,138 hopefuls came out for the chance at a golden bracelet two days ago, now we are down to 12. These twelve players will play two tables of six until we attain ten players. Once that is reached, we will move to the final table to the secondary final table in the Pavilion room and watch these poker participants battle it out for the ultimate prize in poker, a World Series of Poker bracelet. Seating was done randomly and play looks to resume at 1:00 PM today.

Jeff Madsen came into yesterday with probably the toughest table draw in the tournament. His death table was filled with the likes of David Sands, Joe Cada, and Lauren Kling. In the end though Madsen came out on top and hopes to ride his wave of success. Madsen who won two bracelets in 2006 hasn't had much of an impact in recent years at the WSOP and will look to change that today.
Layne Flack who holds six bracelets won't be intimidated by the pressure of the final table as he has been here plenty of times before. In truth though all players who have managed to get this far possess an incredible amount of talent, and with the chips being relatively even to start the day it is anyone's tournament to win.
We will play down until a winner today so make sure to stay tuned to Pokernews for all the details surrounding Event 14.

Let's get this show on the on the road!
Zachary Korik Eliminated in 12th Place ($17,544)
After a series of raises Zachary Korik moved all in and was called by David Chase. Korik held 
while his opponent, Chase had 
. The dealer then spread a 
flop, allowing Chase to maintain his lead.
A 
on the turn gave Korik a flush draw, and a few more outs to snag the hand away from Chase. However those dreams were shattered when the 
fell on the river. After stacks were measured out it was discovered that Chase had more chips and Korik was eliminated.

What an incredible start to today's play!
We lost Jarred Solomon on the second hand played out at his table. He called a Brandon Schaefer's under the gun raise, and then bets of 47,000, 105,000, and 199,000 on each street.
The final board read

and Schaefer opened 
for set. Solomon said it was good and mucked, later saying he had ace-queen.
There will be a short break now as the players are moved to the secondary feature table in the Pavillion room.

Level 1
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
So we're down to our final ten players, and in a new setting. The Pavilion room stage is our home for the rest of the day. We're at ten players right now and need to lose one more before we have our official World Series of Poker final table.
Once we're down to nine we'll bring you the the seat draw and fresh chip counts.
Chasing Away Opponents
Michael Corson started a recent hand out by making it 12,000 from under the gun. Dylan Horton, David Chase, and Brandon Schaefer all opted to make the call.
With a 
flop exposed in the middle we saw Schaefer open with a check, and Corson continuing for 31,000. Dylan quickly made the call and action was next on Chase, who raised and placed out a bet of 120,000. Schaefer then folded, Corson did the same, and finally Horton placed his cards in the muck as well.

Flack Attack
Think the action is going to slow down? Think again.
David Chase opened to 13,000 and was called in one spot before Layne Flack three-bet to 33,000. Pretty quickly Chase four-bet to 103,000. The player in between folded but Flack snap-shoved for 542,000. Chase thought for 20 seconds and called to put Flack at risk.

The board ran 
to pair Flack's ace. We have a new chip leader.

And Breath
Level 1
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
The crazy raising action couldn't continue. The last ten minutes has seen a lot of blind stealing, and pots not making it beyond the flop. Most players are still trying to find their rhythm.
