Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
We only caught the river action, as Mohsin Charania was heads up with an opponent on a board that had run out 
. Charania fired a pot sized bet of 550 into the middle, and after about a minute or so, he was called. "Top two" Charania announced, tabling 
. It was good enough to take the pot, though Charania is still a bit below starting stack with 6,800.

We were expecting to see a few stacked tables in this event, and we definitely have, but we wanted to wait until most of the tables were full before we chose to highlight any of them. While most tough tables have two or three notables on them, we found one table where we knew all six players: Silver #26.
Seat 1: Naoya Kihara- Kihara is a Team PokerStars online pro who rose to stardom last year when he took down one of the toughest tournaments in the whole series last year: the $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Six Handed. That score was good for $512,029, and he also reached the final table of the WPT LA Poker Classic earlier this year, finishing in 9th place.
Seat 2: Andrey Gully- Gully may not be a house hold named yet, but he has been a consistent grinder on the poker circuit or the last few years. Gully has just under $500,000 in live earnings, including eight five-figure scores in the last two years alone. Last year, he finished 8th in the $2,500 Four-Max here at the WSOP for just under $40,000.
Seat 3: Jesse Martin- Martin is another player who is widely respected in the poker community. He is a cashing machine, amassing over $1 million in live earnings. The Los Angeles based pro cashed seven times in the series last year, including a 4th place showing in the $5,000 Limit Hold'em Event for just under $70,000.
Seat 4: Tom Braband- Known better as Titantom 32 online, Braband has found success on the green felt and not just the online felt. He has won over $450,000 in live play, with a 4th place finish in the Legends of Poker in 2010 being his biggest score.
Seat 5: John Eames- Eames is a well known British pro who has won nearly $1.7 million in live play, most of it coming in the EPT that he consistently crushes. He almost got his big breakthrough at the WSOP last year, finishing 8th in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event for over $18,000.
Seat 6: Joe Tehan- The sixth seat is occupied by the biggest name at the table, well known pro Joe Tehan. Tehan has won nearly $4 million in live play, including a WPT title. He has yet to win a coveted gold bracelet, but he almost did just last month, finishing 6th place in the National Championship in New Orleans.

Kenny Nguyen is already down to his last 1900. Hopefully he can run it up but he is already in need of a double to stay in this event.
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Shawn Buchanan and an opponent both put 150 in the middle preflop. The flop fell 
. Buchanan's opponent bet out 350 and Buchanan called. The turn was the 
. This time Buchanan was faced with a bet of 725. Buchanan called again.
The 
completed the board, and Buchanan had to decide if he wanted to call the rest of his chips off because his opponent put him all in.
Buchanan rose to the challenge and called, showing his Queen-high flush (
) which was good to get a double. Buchanan has 8,500.

As we were collecting names from the red section, we heard a dealer yell "all in and a call." We went over to investigate, and saw that Matt Berkey had gotten the last of his 500 chips in preflop holding 
. Unfortunately for him, his opponent looked him up with 
, and the board ran down 
. Berkey made two pair on the river, but it was no good, as his opponent had a better two pair. An early day for Berkey.
