We caught the action after the draw and John Juanda had bet 300 from the small blind. The action was on John Phan who tanked for a bit and smiled as he moved all in for his final 830 chips.
Juanda seemed flustered by this move and couldn't make up his mind for around 30 seconds.
"It's not the final table," Phan smiled as Juanda kept tanking.
Phan was all smiles and Juanda replied with, "I just have to think about it".
After a while Juanda laid it down, and Phan raked in the pot.
"I was thinking about putting you all in before the draw," Juanda said on which Phan replied quickly.
"I still have two rebuy bullets behind, so of course I would've called!".
Juanda has all his chips in play while Phan is up to 1,350 with two lammers left behind.
Greg Raymer is the early chip daddy at his table, while Justin Bonomo is looking glum and a bit short on chips.
Bonomo opened to 75 from mid position before Raymer three-bet to 200. A player on the button called but Bonomo tank-folded.
Raymer stood pat while the button drew one. Raymer then went on to check and then snapped off a 250 bet from his opponent. "Ten," said the player on the button.
As you all know the PokerNews.com Live Reporting Crew works hard every day in order to bring you all the news from the Rio. One of the hardest working men at this year's World Series of Poker has to be our own Donnie Peters who decided to play in today's event.
Peters hasn't had a day off this whole summer and looks to work hard at the tables today, instead of behind his laptop and in between the action. We will be following the action of our colleague closely, as this could be his moment of fame. At his table we recognized two players, Brandon Cantu and Liv Boeree.
One of our former colleagues, Garry Gates, is also in today's field. He's looking to battle against Justin Bonomo and Greg Raymer, both of which are in position to him.
All players start the day with 1,500 in tournament chips and two lammers worth 1,500 each. On the chip counts list we will include the lammers, which wil go out of play after four levels.
