We caught the action after the draw in a big pot between Huck Seed and Aaron Jones. For as far as we could tell Seed had checked to Jones who fired out a bet of 425. We arrived on the scene when Seed was already all in and Jones tanked for a bit before making the call.
Seed showed and Jones mucked his cards. Seed doubled up while Jones still has plenty of chips left.

Jose "Nacho" Barbero three-bet nearly a third of his stack, and then took three minutes to fold when his opponent shoved on him.
Nacho faced an open to 225 that he treated with three-bet to 575. The action folded back to the aggressor who set the Argentine all-in. Nacho came came very close to calling but said, "Nice hand" and folded.

Scott Fischman was short and in need of making something happen. He'll be very happy to triple up then through two players who admitted to playing their hands very badly.
There was a raise to 200 from early position and a call from Robert Williamson III on the button before Fischman three-bet all-in for 675 more. Both players called and when they drew two and Fischman stood pat, the following conversation happened:
"I played this hand so bad!" said the raiser.
"I played it worse," responded Williamson III.
"I played it great," said a chirpy Fischman.
The action was checked and Fischman opened and scooped.
"Someone needs to remove this tattoo from my head!" joked Williamson III who was holding up an "L" for "Loser" finger sign to his forehead.

We just saw a hand we would classify as 'fun'. A player raised to 150 after which Donnie Peters called, and the action was folded to the big blind who moved all in for 1,400.
The initial raiser tanked for a bit before and called, after which Peters tossed his cards into the muck. The all in player stood pat, and his opponent had a tough decision. After around 30 seconds he decided to take one card and his opponent said the following.
"I need you to pair up," as he showed his .
His opponent hit an ace, but still had by far the best hand.
"Alright guys, good luck," the all in player said as he left the tournament area.
"I guess he didn't like to play this," Liv Boeree said as the players at the table were stunned by the hand they just witnessed.
Peters informed us afterwards that the player who won the hand was telling about how he had never played this game before. The player was reading up on 2-7 Triple Draw, only to figure out this game is No Limit, and has only one draw.
We are in for a fun one here today guys!

Jon Aguiar was heard complaining about the standard of the dealers after the dealer at his table wasn't sure who to push the pot too after a all-in showdown between Jen Harman and himself.
Aguiar opened to 225 and Harman defended her big blind. Both drew two cards and Herman then led out for 600. Aguiar shoved for 1,375 and Harman called all-in for 1,250.
Aguiar:
Harman:
The pot belonged to Harman with an eight but the dealer was unsure. "See, he doesn't know who wins the pot!" vented Aguiar to a nearby floor man.

We just saw Bryan Devonshire raise to 250, after which Shaun Deeb moved all in for around 1,900 in chips. Devonshire double-checked his cards and made the call.
Deeb tossed one of his cards towards the dealer, and Devonshire stood pat.
"Show me what I have to beat," Deeb said with a smile after which Devonshire turned over .
Deeb caught a and paired up his hand, and claimed he had also tossed a four. No luck foor Deeb who is down to his final 1,500 chips. Dan O'Brien and Bryan Devonshire also have all their chips in play while Nick Binger has 1,700 in play with two lammers left behind.

Faces continue to late-reg for this tournament and we expect that to continue until the beginning of level 5, when registration closes.
Antonio Esfandiari has been heard talking about an upcoming prop-bet he has with Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi. It's for $5,000 and the winner is the person who can do the most push-ups in one minute. "He's drawing dead by the way!" informed Esfandiari
