Action folded to a short-stacked David Williams and he moved all in for 5,000 from middle position. Ronny Kaiser was next to act in the hijack and tossed in a call, while the rest of the field got out of the way.

Williams knew he was in trouble and up out of his chair headed to the flop, which came . Williams picked up some chop outs as a nine would give both players the same straight, while the left him in need of either a nine or king. The dealer burned one last time and put out the , putting an end to Williams' 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.

There will be no repeat deep run for Bryan Devonshire, who finished 12th in this event last year. Devonshire came into today with just 22,525, after doubling up in a wild hand to end his day one. However, he wasn't able to get anything going, as he busted a short while ago.
Our field reporter saw that Devonshire was eliminated by an opponent holding , and Devo filled us in on the rest of the details via Twitter:
devopoker Bryan Devonshire And that's that. Button limps, SB limps, I jam 10.4k w/A8hh, BTN has KK and I brick. Strange feeling right now. Colorado is calling me home.

Tables are slowly being broken and players scattered around the Rio as the day wears on. There are about 24 tables left in the Pavilion and that number continues to dwindle. Recently we caught up with Barry Greenstein as he was shaking hands with an opponent he had just knocked out. Apparently Greenstein had gotten his opponent all in and at risk with , his opponent held . The board ran out giving Greenstein the straight and the knock-out blow.
Apparently this was Greenstein's second hand of knocking out a shorty, he recently just tweeted this.
barrygreenstein Barry Greenstein Busted two shortstacks in aipf pots. KcQc > 99 flopping a King,and Js10s > Kc10c turning a straight. Back over average with 75k. #wsop61

A string of tables away sits David Pham who was also getting involved in a pot. A player in early position raised it up to 1,800 and Pham three-bet to 3,800. The rest of the table folded and the early position player made the call.
The flop came prompting both players to check. The on the turn saw a repeat of actions with two more pats of the felt for passes. The on the river though saw the early positioned player bet out 3,600. Pham begrudgingly made the call, and was shown for two pair aces and nines. Pham couldn't beat it and he deposited his cards in the muck.
Pham now sits around 96,000.

Eric Baldwin has had an interesting past couple of hours. During our past dinner break it appears Faraz Jaka and Baldwin had a little competition outside with a soccer shoot out. He recently tweeted this.
basebaldy Eric Baldwin Having a soccer shoot out against @FarazJaka on dinner break for a @bluffmagazine video. Neither of us have played since youth. #iceplease

We don't know how it turned out for sure, but it appears it may have gone in Faraz's favor.
basebaldy Eric Baldwin Rediscovered why in not @soccerbaldy. Gg @FarazJaka. Guy had more heart than Rudy Rudiger on defense.

Although he might not be crushing it on the pitch he sure is doing well for himself on the felt. We recently caught up to him playing a hand and here is what happened. After the table folded around to him, a player in middle position raised. Action then founds its way to Baldwin in the cutoff and he three-bet to 5,600. The rest of the table folded and it was back to the initial raiser, who four-bet to 11,500. Baldwin went into the tank for a good minute or so and then placed out a stack of orange chips that would put his opponent all in. Baldwin's opponent said "nice hand" and folded his cards.
