Phil Hellmuth left for the dinner break having recently been moved over into the Gold section, having brought over a few chips more than the starting stack along with high hopes of accumulating more:
phil_hellmuth phil_hellmuthAt dinner break in WSOP 1K NLHold'em (Day 1A) I have 4,050. 1740 started Day 1A, 488 left. Ave chip stack is 10K...Going for Cash #92!!July 04 2012
Alas for Hellmuth, his stay in Level 7 was short-lived, as he was just eliminated and thus that 92nd cash will have to wait.
We never got to see the big plastic rat of Lucien Cohen because he is out. We believe that he got his last few pennies worth in holding and lost a race versus when his opponent turned a set.
Of the newer faces to prop their behinds into golden chairs we have 2 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winners: one short and one tall. First the smaller of the two, Ken Aldridge, who is seated at Table 8. Aldridge, who is dressed in his customary yellow clothing, has his bracelet slung proudly over his wrist, a bracelet he won in 2009 when he defeated the likes of Praz Bansi and Bryn Kenney to take down a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event - and with it - $428,259 in prize money.
The taller WSOP bracelet holder is none other than Huck Seed. Seed is a WSOP legend with 4 WSOP bracelets (including a main event title) and $2,918,535 in WSOP career earnings. Seed is currently residing in the ten seat at Table Eleven.
Bryan Micon is loving life over at Table 1, Check it:

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!)
