This Won't Be Easy
Level 4
Carlos Mortensen, Gavin Smith, Kirill Gerasimov and Shannon Shorr are currently seated at the same table in the Red section. So much for a soft starting table.
In a recent hand Limit Hold'em hand, we saw Gerasimov raise preflop and Carlos Mortensen call on the button to see a flop of 
. Gerasimov check-called Mortensen's flop bet, and he did the same on the 
turn and 
river. Mortensen tabled 
for trip threes and Gerasimov mucked.
Fortunately for the aforementioned pros, the Red section is the first to break here in the Brasilia Room. They won't be together much longer.
Here We Go Again on a Break
Level 4
Two more levels are in the books, which means it's time for another 20-minute break.
Level: 5
Limits: 0/0
Ante: 0
Don't Be Late
Level 5
Or you'll be punished! This group of late entrants will be the next table to break, but they'll be stuck playing together until then.
Seat 1: Richard Ashby
Seat 2: Steve Billirakis
Seat 3: Micheal Binger
Seat 4: Tim West
Seat 5: Matt Woodward
Seat 6: Huck Seed
Seat 7: Scott Seiver
Seat 8: Jim Geary
We've also seen Phil Hellmuth, David Chiu, Pat Pezzin, John Hennigan, Steve Zolotow and others take their seats for the first time here in Level 5.

Livingston Busts Lindgren
Razz:
We happened upon Erick Lindgren's table during the Razz round and saw he was sitting with just a single blue T500 chip. A couple of bring-ins saw him down to 200 when he committed it showing an

Lingren was up out of his seat when he paired on sixth and didn't bother to stick around and see the meaningless card on seventh street.

Seed Sprouts
He's only been here for 35 minutes, but Huck Seed has already tripled his starting stack after eliminating Richard Ashby and Steve Billirakis during the Razz round. The massive pot took place during the last hand before the table broke, so our group of high-stakes mixed game specialists has been dispersed throughout the Brasilia Room.
Good news for Jim Geary, who tweeted this earlier:
walterzuey Jim Geary I'm the only one at my table who doesn't play 400-800 at Aria.
