St-Pierre Hurting
Picking up the action on the turn of a 
board, Georges St-Pierre check-called a bet of 600 from an opponent and then led out for 1,000 when the 
hit the river. A large raise to 6,000 came from St-Pierre's opponent and that was called immediately by St-Pierre.
His opponent tabled 
for the nut straight, besting St-Pierre's 
to leave the injured UFC Welterweight champion below the 10,000-chip mark.

Sowers Down Early
We saw a pot brewing with Mike Sowers so we went to go check it out. We saw ther was about 5,000 in the middle, and that Sowers was heads up with another player. The board read 
, and Sowers had bet 2,400. However, his opponent raised it up to 10,000, and Sowers was in the tank. He asked his opponent if he could beat two pair, but he got no reaction. Eventually, Sowers folded his cards about two feet in the air, and his opponent took the pot.
After that hit, Sowers is down to 22,000.

Break Time
Level 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
The first two hours of Day 1b are done, and with the end of Level 1 players are taking the first 20-minute break of the day. By the way — no official numbers as yet for total entrants for Day 1b, although the word from the WSOP is they expect a total field of around 2,000 today.
The plan for the rest of the day will be to play two more two-hour levels, take a 90-minute dinner break, then come back for two last two-hour levels before play concludes tonight around 12:30 AM local time.
Stern Wins Small One Off Tryba
Picking up the action on a 
board, Chris Tryba called 1,275 from Dani Stern to see the 
river. Tryba check-called 2,000 from Stern this time, but mucked when Stern tabled 
.

Think Fast - It's Dwyte Pilgrim!
A player in middle position opened for 250 and action folded around to another player on the button, who three-bet to 850. Dwyte Pilgrim called cold from the big blind and the original raiser called as well for a three-way pot.
The flop came 
and both Pilgrim and the original raiser checked to the three-bettor, who made it 875 to go. Pilgrim responded by tossing out a single 5,000-denomination chip and announing, "Three-thousand," for a raise. The player in middle position folded, as did the player on the button after thinking for a bit over a minute.
"Just so you guys know - I don't give anyone more than two minutes to act on a hand before I call the clock," Pilgrim said. "I like to play fast."
Pilgrim is sitting on 24,500.
