Last year's champion of this event and now two-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Andy Frankenberger is still alive and fighting in this tournament. If you happened to miss it, Frankenberger recently defeated poker legend Phil Ivey heads up in Event 17: $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em to earn his second WSOP bracelet.
Frankenberger sent out two tweets as of late explaining his current situation in this event where he is the reigning champion.
AMFrankenberger Andy Frankenberger Short stacked after losing a few flips and getting rivered. Softest table ever, some cards could go a looooong way.

We found a player raise to 1,325 and the action folded around to Lauren Kling on the button. Kling counted out chips and threw in a raise, making it 3,150 to go. Action folded back to the original raiser and he tanked for about a minute before throwing away his cards and awarding the pot to Kling.

Erik Cajelais has been a massive force throughout the entirety of Day 1, and his current stack of 50,000 is one of the biggest in the room. Cajelais may not be a household name, but he certainly has collected many poker accolades that have helped to establish his place in the poker world.
Cajelais burst onto the poker scene with his first cash at the World Series of Poker in 2006 finishing 19th in a $5,000 No Limit Hold'em event. Since then Cajelais has been able to score several notable finishes in WSOP events. In 2007 Cajelais finished in second place in a $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event. Cajelais most noteworthy finish, however, came at the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe where he won Event 2 - £2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha.
Cajelais is a force to be reckoned with and those at his table are surely fearing not only his massive tattooed guns, but also his massive chip stack.
Players are currently on a 20-minute break.
