Chan and Yunis Join Silver
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) attracts poker players from all over the world and here is one from Chile. Nick Yunis is a talented player, still searching for that big score. The man just seems to be able to amass huge stacks in deep fields, but finds it a little bit more difficult keeping hold of them. Here is Yunis in action over at Table Thirty-Nine.
The player on the button raised to 150 and Yunis made the call in the small blind. The flop was 
and both players checked. The turn was the 
, Yunis bet 225 and his opponent called. The river card was the 
and Yunis took some time to ponder his decision before over betting the pot. He made it 1,600 and it sent his opponent into a confused state. He counted out the call and just stared at Yunis. He reached his hand under his cap scratched his head and mucked his cards.
The other addition to the Silver Section is Terrence Chan. In terms of $1k events, Chan is having a barnstorming first 2-levels with a smidgen under 6,300 (but did have 10k!)

New Faces in Gold
Some new faces have popped up in the Gold Section of the Brasilia Room. Bryan Micon started the day in the Pavilion but now resides in the Gold Section at Table 1.
The French are in Las Vegas en force and we have just spotted Lucien Cohen sitting at Table 3 with only 975 chips in front of him. Cohen won $1,197,719 when he trumped a field of 891 players to win the European Poker Tour (EPT) event in Deauville in 2011. During that run he used a big plastic black rat as his mascot - no sign of the rat today!
So Cohen is one Frenchman taking his seat in the Gold Section and Remy Biechel is one player who has taken an early bow. Biechel inconspicuous by his absence over at Table 18.
Another great player to just take his seat in the Gold Section is Ruben Visser. Visser had his best year yet when in 2011 he earned $428,373 to take his total earnings in live tournaments over the $1 million mark. That excellent run of form included a forty-fourth place finish in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event for $196,174, his only WSOP cash to date. Visser begins life at Table Thirteen.

Brasilia Room: Red Section Review
It's 4th July and as such some players have come dressed a little bit more glittery as usual, but nobody has come dressed with as much aplomb as Kenni Nguyen, only this is his usual attire and has nothing to do with the festivities of the 4th July! Nguyen has had 5 World Series of Poker (WSOP) cashes this year, including a runner-up spot for $347,036 in Event #19: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em where he lost in heads-up battle against Cliff Goldkind. Nguyen is dressed as a court jester over at Table 91.
Just sat two seats to the left of Nguyen is Jonathan Little. The multiple World Poker Tour (WPT) champion has close to $5 million in live tournament earnings, but has gotten off to a poor start and sits behind a stack of 1,500 chips.
Once again the females are well presented in the field. 2-days ago, Katherine Dozier, was securing her best ever WSOP cash when she finished in twenty-seventh place in Event #54: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em and she is back hoping to do much of the same at Table Seventy-Three. Finally, we have one half of French poker's celebrity couple Claire Renault. Renault - who is the beau of WSOP bracelet winner Fabrice Soulier - is seated at Table Seventy-Five and has 7 WSOP cashes to her name.
