When we reached Table 48, Ryan Olisar was all in and at risk with 
against the 
of Serge Nadjar. The board did not improve Olisar's hand, and he was eliminated.
According to Simon Deadman, Olisar opened from the cutoff, and Nadjar three-bet from the small blind. Olisar four-bet shoved, and Nadjar made the call.
The rest is history.
Here is a slew of chip counts from the Orange and Tan Sections in the Amazon room. It appears Jamie Gold has just made a tough fold that cost him some chips.

Here is how a few small hands recently played out over in the Red Section of the Brasilia Room.
flop showing and Juanda had check-raised on opponent who bet 4,250. The amount was enough to put this player all in and he went into the tank for over two minutes. Eventually the player said, "Either you have the same hand, or a set," turning over 
as he folded his hand.
flop was turned over and Laak led for 2,000. That bet was enough to see both his opponents fold, sending the small pot to Laak.
board. Grafton check-called a bet of 1,500 on the flop. Both players checked the turn and Grafton checked the river, before his opponent would tank-bet 4,500. Grafton decided to fold and sent the chips away from his stack.
Antoine Guyetant, Paul Volpe, Tuan Phan, and Viktor "Isildur1" Blom have all added to their starting stacks thus far on Day 2c. Meanwhile, add Noah Schwartz' name to the list of those whose 2012 WSOP Main Event run ended on Day 2.
2006 Main Event Champion Jamie Gold opened for 1,500 from the cutoff seat and found two callers in both players in the blinds.
The flop came 
and both players checked to Gold, who fired 2,500 into the middle. The player in the small called, but the big folded.
The 
fell on the turn and Gold's opponent again checked. Continuing with his aggression - Gold fired again for 7,000. His opponent tanked for a bit, but eventually folded and Gold scooped the pot.
Gold has nearly doubled his chips since the beginning of the day - he is up to 48,000.

We caught up with the action on a board of 
to see Dario Minieri heads up with over 20,000 in the pot.
Minieri's opponent bet 13,600 and Minieri announced that he was all in. His opponent snap folded and Minieri triumphantly tabled for merely ace-high.
"Oh my god!" another player chimed in from across the table. "So sick!"
Minieri is now sitting on about 72,000.
A player opened with a 3x raise to 1,800 from under the gun, and it folded around to Dan Idema in the big blind who defended with a call. The flop came 
. Idema checked, his opponent bet 3,200, and Idema called. The turn was the and both players quickly checked.
The river brought the 
and a quick bet of 7,000 by Idema. His opponent thought for just a beat before calling, and when Idema tabled for two pair, his opponent mucked.
We don't know exactly what happened, but we know Randy Lew managed to get his short stacked opponent all in and at risk holding 
. Lew's opponent had 
and needed to avoid some aces and kings to stay alive in this tournament.
The board came 
and with the king on the flop Lew secured the lead and never let it go. Lew now sits around 90,000 in chips and continues to build his stack despite a tough table draw. Sitting on Lew's direct right is Johnny Chan. Lew seems pretty excited about this as per his tweet earlier.
nanonoko Randy Lew More greatness happening, Johnny Chan receives a gift...it's an orange...and he's smelling it... http://t.co/BNpTsLO1

Another player at Lew's table is Shannon Shorr who has tangled up with Lew a few times already. With plenty of day left and plenty of chips to be had we expect these three to have many battles throughout the day.
