Picking up the action on an 
board with about 15,000 in the pot, the action was on Jamie Kerstetter's opponent, facing a decision for 7,200.
Afte about two minutes in the tank, her opponent called and quickly mucked upon seeing Kerstetter's 
.
Over in the Tan Section we found Andre Akkari mixing it up with his table. Akkari raised from under the gun and made it 525 to see the flop. The table folded around to a player in middle position who three-bet to 1,550. The table folded around back to Akkari and he made the call.
The dealer then spread a flop of 
prompting a check from Akkari and a bet of 1,700 from his opponent. Akkari made the call.
Th 
on the turn saw both players check. The 
on the river saw a third check from Akkari, and action moved to the middle position player. Akkari's opponent said "I'm scared of the patch" and checked, flipping over 
for two pair, aces and eights. Akkari mucked and suffered a small loss.
A few tables away sits the short stacked Olivier Busquet. Busquet sat in the big blind, and the under the gun player min-raised to 400 to start the action off. The button along with the small blind were the only two to make the call. It was then Busquet's turn and he moved all in for 7,075. The table folded and Busquet took down the pot.
Michael Mizrachi recently took down an unprecedented second $50,000 Poker Players Championship and he will be one to watch in today's World Series of Poker Main Event field. We recently caught the action from a flop with Mizrachi involved in hand against one opponent.
Mizrachi's opponent was first to act here and bet 800. Mizrachi made the call and a 
was dealt on the turn. Mizrachi's opponent checked and Mizrachi bet 2,100. Mizrachi's opponent pretty much instantly folded and Mizrachi took down the pot. Despite winning this small hand, Mizrachi is currently sitting with less than the starting stack.
A middle position player opened to 600 and received a call from the button and the small blind. Jason Alexander of Seinfeld fame also decided to tag along from the big blind.
The flop was 
and the small blind checked. Alexander came out firing with 1,200. The original raiser and the button folded but the small blind came along for the ride.
The turn was the 
and Alexander bet 3,000. Once again he received a call. The board was completed with a 
and both players checked it down. Alexander showed 
for a flopped set and his opponent mucked his cards. Alexander is trending upward now with a stack of 36,000.
Readers may remember Kenneth Wong's name from the 2012 Aussie Millions, with Wong finishing in second place for a A$1,000,000 score. He is in the field today and will be looking to add another seven-figure score to his resume.
We recently caught up with the action on Wong's table with a 
board out on the felt and with 17,000 already in the pot, with Wong going up against one opponent. The player opted to check to Wong and Wong bet 15,100 - leaving himself with just 300 behind. His opponent tanked for a long time before letting his hand go, sending the nice pot to Wong.
A few tables of late registration players have been seated.
A player in early position raised to 425. Jonathan Duhamel called in middle position, and the dealer fanned 
. Duhamel called a 450-chip bet, and the turn brought the 
.
Duhamel's opponent led for 950, and the Canadian called.
Both players knuckled when the 
completed the board, and Duhamel's opponent tabled 
for a pair of aces. Duhamel mucked, and is still stuck at around 20,000 chips.
