Walking around the Pavilion we noticed a commotion at one of the tables, apparently three players were all in. The shortest stack of the three had , while the second shortest had . The player with the most chips was Clayton Fletcher who held .
Unless some miracle happened Fletcher was going to win a large pot. The board came and Fletcher secured the substantial pot.
Other players in the field with decent sized stacks are David "ODB" Baker, and Faraz Jaka who have both crossed the 10,000 chip mark.

We managed to find Amnon Filippi right as an opponent three-bet all in for around 1,275 into him. Filippi made the call and found himself behind.
Filippi:
Opponent:
The board came out and Filippi lost a chunk of his stack. A few hands later Filippi was eliminated and sent to the rail.
Matt Matros is also here today, the 2012 bracelet winner is currently above average stack. Another player who is having a good 2012 is Shaun Deeb. Deeb won $1,00, 000 last night after getting heads up against Gus Hansen in the One Drop Mega satellite. Sharing the table with Deeb is Matt Stout. Stout made a deep run early this series, but ultimately came up short finishing third in Event 33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em.
With players being drained from the Amazon room, and directed to the Brasilia and Pavilion room we continue to find players. Most recently we noticed Jon Turner and Men Nguyen sharing shoulder space. Turner recently made a deep run in Event 46: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em, and even possessed the chip lead for a good part of day 2, but a few bad spots caused him to make an early exit. Today he looks primed to chase the bracelet.
Other players in the pavilion with a decent sized stack are David "ODB" Baker, Paul Magriel, and Jonathan Aguiar.
The screens are reading 3,112 entrants, but that is set to rise with over an hour and 20 minutes of registration still open.
