Former WSOP Player of the Year winners Allen Cunningham and Jeff Madsen are seated at the same table here in the Brasilia Room. The room hosts the banners of each of the award winners since 2004, and Cunningham is faced directly toward his banner in the back corner. 2010 Player of the Year Frank Kassela is seated at an adjacent table and is within view of his banner, as well.
Daniel Negreanu, Jeff Lisandro, Tom Schneider and Erick Lindgren are also in the house, which means the only former POY we're missing is 2011 honoree Ben Lamb.
An unknown player in Seat 2 had the bring-in with the and was met with a completion by Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri, who was fresh off a third-place finish in Event 13: $1,500 Limit Hold'em for $84,388. A player in Seat 7, who was showing the , made the call as did the bring-in and it was three-way action to the turn.
Barbieri proceeded to bet, which both his opponents called, and then he fired again on fifth street. Seat 2 got out of the way while Seat 7 called and then raised when Barbieri bet sixth. The raise was enough to cover the short-stacked Sugar Bear, and he committed his stack.
Seat 7 had a low but needed help if he was going to take the high. Unfortunately for Barbieri, the on seventh gave his opponent a pair and the scoop. "Good game guys," Barbieri said. The Sugar Bear was no doubt looking to improve on his second-place finish in this very event back in 2010, but those dreams have been dashed as he became one of the day's early eliminations.

Four players saw a flop of and Shaun Deeb led out with a bet from the small blind. The player in the big blind then raise, a middle-position player folded, and the cutoff put in a three-bet. Two calls ensued followed by two checks on the turn. Again the cutoff bet, two calls were made, and then the river went check-check. The cutoff fired another bullet, and this time it proved enough to take down the pot as both Deeb and the big blind folded.
After that hand, Deeb was left with just 250 and the game changed to Omaha Hi/Low. Deeb got his chips in preflop and was looking good on the flop with an in his hand, but a on the turn gave one of his opponents a higher trips. The river failed to help Deeb and he made a hasty exit out of the Brasilia Room.
For the first time today the tournament clock has a number of entrants, which currently reads 800. That's down from last year's total of 963, though late registration is still open.
He did it with some help, but Andrey Pateychuk just eliminated a player in the Silver section.
Five players saw a limped flop of , and after a bet and three calls the dealer rolled over the on the turn. Action checked over to the hijack, who put in a bet, and Pateychuk and the other three players came along for the ride. The river was the and this time the player in Seat 3 fired a bet. Seat 4 folded, Seat 6 called, and Pateychuk raised. Seat 3 called and Seat 6 called all-in, and the hands were revealed.
Pateychuk:
Seat 3:
Seat 6: Muck
Pateychuk took the high hand with a queen-high straight, and the player in Seat 3 took the low. Seat 6 quickly made his way out the door.
With European Poker Tour and World Poker Tour titles already under his belt, Pateychuk is seeking his first WSOP bracelet to clinch the elusive Triple Crown.
Joe Tehan had the bring-in with the and was quickly completed by the player in Seat 2. Maria Mayrinck was next to act with her and promptly made it three bets to go. Tehan got out of the way, Seat 2 made the call and it was off to the turn.
Mayrinck kept the lead with her ace and put out another bet, which inspired Seat 2 to fold. Even with that win, Mayrinck is still below the starting stack with 2,700.
We posted the current World Series of Poker Player of the Year leaderboard earlier today, which saw $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em winner Andy Frankenberger sitting atop with 372.16 points. We thought Frankenberger might make appearance in this tournament to try and add to that total, but according to his latest tweet, that isn't going to happen.
AMFrankenberger Andy FrankenbergerOn 2nd thought, just looked in the mirror & saw a tired gorilla. Gonna skip the HORSE & try to get back to a position of physical strength.June 13 2012
