Last time we took a look at 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Cada's chip stack it was hurting. However, in the meantime it seems that Cada was able to find a double up.
We found him as the second player to a call a raise to 1,200 while he was in the big blind. The flop came 
and Cada checked. The original raiser fired out 2,500 and the other player in the hand made it 6,500 to go. Cada looked at his cards several times before mucking the hand.
While he may not have won this pot, he is now sitting on a solid stack of 11,500.
On the other side of the Brasilia room, we found 2007 WSOP Main Event champion Jerry Yang looking down at a board of 
. Yang put out a check-raise to 5,000 after his opponent bet 1,500.
His opponent replied by announcing that he was all in and Yang heaved a large sigh. Yang stacked his chips and pushed them into the middle. He tabled 
and stared at his opponent, waiting for his opponent to show his cards.
His opponent flipped up
and was ahead. The board finished with the 
and the 
and just like that Yang was sent packing.
Justin Bonomo, who was sitting on a fairly healthy stack as of late, has been eliminated from the tournament. We found the details of the hand on his Twitter:

We found Maridu Mayrinck calling the all in of a short stacked opponent. Mayrinck held 
against her opponent's 
.
The board fell 
and Mayrinck was able to spike her jack on the river, effectively reducing the field by one more player.

Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
PokerNews writer Chad Holloway kicked off this tournament to wonderful start when he flopped a full house with pocket queens on the second hand.

Cada thought for a bit before giving up his hand and awarding the pot to his opponent. Cada is currently sitting on about 4,600.
Last time we checked on Lars Bonding he had scored a huge win when his ace-king defeated his opponent's pocket queens on a preflop all in.
Since then, however, Bonding was on a gradual decline in chips. Moments ago he tweeted:

And after finding that tweet to go and check on his table, we found Bonding making his way to the exit.
