Josh Arieh is stood behind his chair and looking very satisfied. That's because he has taken all of Marcello Marigliano's chips and advances to the next round.

We caught Eric Froehlich cashing in his last lammer after Bryce Yockey's pocket kings cleaned Froehlich's stack. The next hand Froehlich opened for 2,400, Yockey raised to 6,700 and Froehlich went all in. Yockey called and the hands were tabled.
Froehlich: 
Yockey: 
The board ran 
and Yockey shook Froehlich's hand.
One table over we saw Jason Koon eliminating Adam Kornuth.

Annette Obrestad is the latest player through after dismantling Ryan Franklin over the course of two hands.
Firstly she four-bet all-in with 
and beat Franklin's 
. She still had two lammers behind so told us she was risking the minimum with the move.
That left Franklin short and he shoved 
from the button and was called by the Norwegian who had woken up with 
. The board ran out

Mike Sexton had an awful afternoon thus far. The last level saw Sexton cash in both his rebuy lammers and Justin Bonomo still has both behind. Sexton is hovering around 30,000 will have to use the Hold'em level to stay alive.

Andy Frankenberger and Alan Keating have traded in their old dealer for a new one.
The old one still had life in her, but the PLO option wasn't working too well. She had trouble calculating the pot and was replaced after a few complaints from Frankenberger.
Vojtech Ruzicka has become the first player to advance after he eliminated Dave Nicholson in a battle of Europe.
Ruzicka will Czech back in a 4pm for today's second round of matches.

There's a lot a action happening over on table 426.
Jim Collopy and Victor Ramdin are having a three-bet fest pre flop. Twice in a row Collopy raised to 1,000 in NL and twice faced a three-bet to 2,500. He folded the first time but shoved the second time to take down the pot. I don't think their match will be lasting very long.
Raja Kattamuri and David Benefield are sat at the other end of the table and the former was forced to trade in his third lammer (T24k).
The two saw a 
flop in NL before all the chips flew into the middle.
Benefield: 
for trip threes.
Kattamuri: 
for a flush draw.
The board ran out a blank 
.
Raja Kattamuri has since dropped even further to 20,000 chips.
