With only 45 minutes left to register for this tournament, we can help but wonder where some of the former champs are. Barry Greenstein has been here from the start, and we understand Frank Kassela is registered and will make an entrance at the start of Level 5 (he's still in Event 17: $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em), but there are still plenty of former winners missing in action including the defending champ.

Three players saw a turn including Jennifer Harman, who happened to have the lead. She promptly bet and continued to do so on every street as both he opponents called to seventh. It was at that point that both players folded and allowed her to take down the pot without so much as a showdown.
Harman: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Opponent #1: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Opponent #2: (x-x) / / (x)
Harman is currently sitting with 8,000.
We didn't catch the action in the hand but we did see the 1986 World Series of Poker Main Event champ, Berry Johnston, and 2010 Main Event runner-up John Racener both check seventh street in a healthy pot.
Johnston: (x-x) / 
/ (x)
Racener: / /
Despite losing that hand, Racener is still sitting with an above-average stack of 8,000; meanwhile, Johnston is up to 11,000.
Dan Shak came in with a raise showing the and then called a two-bet from an unknown player. Shak proceeded to call bets on both the turn and fifth street before check-calling a bet on sixth. Both players then checked seventh and Shak revealed the winner.
Shak:

Opponent: (x-x) / / (x)
Shak is sitting with 7,000.
We caught the action on the turn when Daniel Negreanu bet and was called by Amnon Filippi. The same action happened on fifth before Filippi took the lead and bet sixth. Negreanu called and both players checked seventh.
Negreanu: (x-x) / / (x)
Filippi: /
"Jacks up," Negreanu said, prompting Fillippi to turn over the winning hand.
REALJenHarman Jennifer Harman Always start a tourney badly. Finally raised with rolled up 8s and won the pot. #inrazz. I guess I'm going to make the FT this time.

Ed Brogdan completed with only to face a raise from Tristan Clemencon. Brogdan called that bet as well as one on the turn, but then fired out a bet after taking the lead on fifth. Clemencon smirked a little before taking his cards, turning them facedown and tossing them to the dealer.
Brogdan: (x-x) /
Clemencon: (x-x) /
It wasn't a very big hand, but it was a good excuse for us to tell you that Brogdan is sitting with a healthy stack of 12,500.
