Only a handful of tables remain over in the Bronze Section of the Brasilia Room, but amongst those tables is one featuring Doyle Brunson and one featuring Marvin Rettenmaier. We recently caught a quick hand at each respective table.
flop was out on the felt, with Rettenmaier heads up against Steve Yea. Rettenmaier checked here and Yea bet 3,400. A check-raise to 9,200 from Rettenmaier was enough to scare off Yea and scoop up the pot.
flop and without hisitaation, Brunson bet 4,500. That was enough to scare off his opponent as Brunson raked in the small pot.| Player | Chips | Progress |

Shannon Shorr opened to 2,200 from the button and a short-stacked Andy Frankenberger pushed his remaining chips into the middle for a raise to 28,000 from the small blind. Everyone else folded back to Shorr, who quickly followed suit.
The two-time bracelet winner has some work to do if he wants to make it past Day 2.
Speaking of those bracelets, he's wearing them today as he shows in the following interview with Lynn Gilmartin.

The turn was the

"I think you have the best hand," he told Kessler, who laughed. "I'm either going to give you way too much respect, or way too little respect."
By this point, the ESPN camera crew was at the table, filming the action.
"Now I'm embarrassed," Engel announced.
Finally, he folded, but he held onto the cards.
"Do you want to both show for the cameras?" Engel asked.
"You go first," Kessler told him.
"You promise you'll show as well?" Engel shot back.
Kessler nodded, and Engel turned over . Kessler turned over , much to the delight of Engel.
"Wow," he blurted. "Nice hand."

When we arrived at Maurice Hawkin's and Melanie Weisner's table, there was a 
board already out on the felt and around 10,000 already in the pot. Hawkins had led out of 6,500 and it was on Wesiner to act. After thinking for several moments, Weisner went with a call. When Hawkins tabled 
, his pair of aces were strong enough to send Wesiner's cards into the muck. With that, Wesiner is down to under 20,000 in chips.
