PokerNews was not there to catch the hand, but we are reporting that Jonathan Duhamel, 2010 WSOP Main Event Champion, has busted in the first few levels of today's play. Earlier he tweeted this:
So weird playing in a $1500 event when last one i played 2 days ago was 3,000,000 buy-in .... #gottafocusFollow @JonathanDuhamel
We arrived on the flop as Faraz Jaka bet out 100 on 
from the under-the-gun position. The small blind, the only other player involved in the hand, made the call. The turn was the 
and both players opted to check. The 
fell on the river and the small bind bet out 225. Jaka raised it up to 800 and after a minute of thinking the small blind made the call. Jaka showed 
for a missed open-ended who made runner runner trips. The small blind shaked his head once, and mucked. Jaka is still down 500 chips for the day with around 4,000 in chips.
As we approached Yuval Bronshtein's table he was involved in a three way hand on the flop: 
. We were just to late to witness the flop action but we have the suspicion it was checked around. On the turn the dealer brought out the 
and after a check from the big blind, Bronshtein bet 75. Both the button and the big blind made the call and the final card hit the table: 
. The big blind checked again and Bronshtein tossed in three 100 chips. The player on the button made it 950 and the big blind folded after a little thinking. Bronshtein made the call however, but had to muck when the button showed 
for a flopped full house. "That's a good hand" Bronshtein replied while he quietly mucked his cards.

John Dolan and Ylon Schwartz are housed in the the Pavilion Room. They'll be breaking the Pavilion Room first so they won't be here for to long we expect. The clock tells us that there are 1,748 players in the field so far. That's still a little under the 1,819 set by event 14, but registrationis still open.
