2012 World Series of Poker
Cards are back in the air here in the Brasilia room.
Level: 9
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75

Upon browsing through the Silver section of the Brasilia room, we found Amanda Musumeci sitting on a healthy stack of about 25,000. Musumeci burst on to the poker scene last year with an impressive four cashes at the 2011 WSOP.
Most notably of Musumeci's finishes last year was her deep run in the Main Event. Musumeci was able to best the gigantic field and finish in 62nd place, which puts her run among the top 1% of last year's field. Since then, Musumeci has been tearing up the WSOP Circuit, with final tables in events at the Palm Beach Kennel Club, Atlantic City, Council Bluffs, and St. Louis.
Last October, Musumeci sat down with PokerNews hostess Kristy Arnett to discuss strategy and her WSOP Main Event run.
Musumeci is still in the hunt for her first WSOP bracelet, and with the healthy stack that she is currently sporting, this time around may certainly be a possibility.
The remaining players have been sent on what could be one of the last breaks of the evening.
See you back here in 20 minutes!
David "ODB" Baker is struggling and we caught the action of the hand that sees him sitting on a tiny, tiny stack.
Baker held and his all-in opponent held
. It was all-in preflop and by the time we got to the table, the dealer was busy spreading out a
flop.
Baker would have to dodge some clubs to survive. The on the turn was a safe one, but when the
was turned over on the river, it was trouble for Baker.

Fabrice Soulier, winner of last year's $10,000 HORSE Championship has managed to fly under our radar for most of the day. Last time we checked on him, however, we've found that his stack has grown to one of the largest in the room.
We caught up to see a player bet out on a board, only to find Soulier move all in. His opponent called and showed
for Broadway, but was ultimately behind Soulier's
flush. The river was the
and Soulier was able to send a player home.

After about a minute of thinking, Esfandiari's opponent rapped the table, prompting the Magician to instantly announce that he was all in. His opponent mucked her hand, and he was able to scoop the pot, boosting his stack to around 17,000.
In the last 20 minutes we have witnessed Ari Engel not only pick up aces twice, but take down the pot both times.
The first time it was against David Chicotsky when Engel's saw him barrel all streets and get a fold from Chicotsky before tabling his hand.
Engel then picked up the against an unknown opponent who put his stack all-in preflop holding
. the aces stayed in front and Engel took down another nice pot.
