A few more players have trickled since the commencement of level two.
One of which is Roland Israelashvili - who after the controversy that happened on table 375 - has registered for the correct event and now is seated on the opposite side of the room.
Level: 2
Limits: 25/100
Ante: 25
After hearing of some commotion going down on Table 375, our PokerNews reporter headed over to see what all the controversy was about.
Apparently Roland Israelashvili sat down and played a hand through to seventh street before losing. He then asked his opponent - who was also sitting next to him - how many chips you started with.
After being told it was 7,500 - or three times your buy-in - Israelashvili commented that he paid $5,000 for his seat.
On closer inspection of his ticket, it appeared as though Israelashvili was registered for an upcoming $5,000 Omaha Hi-Lo tournament and not the seven-card stud one he had just played a hand in.
Israelashvili was escorted out of the tournament area to correct the ticketing mistake while the stack that he had already played was put back in the well since that seat was still yet to be sold.
The World Series of Poker paid tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Jerry Buss. The Los Angeles Lakers owner was a regular at the WSOP for many years. The tribute took place before the $2500 Seven-Card Stud event, one of his favorites.

Daniel Negreanu completed before a new arrival at the table on his immediate left bumped it up. Negreanu just called, before calling a bet on fourth before he bet out on fifth. His opponent raised, Negreanu made it 450 and was called before his lone bet on sixth was called as both player's boards read as follows.

On seventh Negreanu bet out 150, his opponent made it two bets, Negreanu responded with a three-bet before it eventually got capped.

"Welcome to the World Series!" Negreanu added as her opponent sat there in disbelief.
Cory Zeidman completed with the 
and found one caller.
Zeidman caught a low card and bet again before cheekily uttering, "we're playing stud hi-lo right?"
His table mate Cyndy Violette laughed as Zeidman was obviously referencing to his bracelet win in Event 4: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo last year for $201,559.
And the notables continue to be spotted throughout the orange section here in the Amazon room.
With the tournament located snuggly in the back corner of the Amazon room, here is the first round of players that have been spotted.
The plan for tonight's tournament is that the players will endure 8 levels lasting 60-minutes each before they bag and tag for the night.
Each player is starting with 7,500 in chips and so far there are 25 tables in use with another few set up for the long list of late registrations that we are expecting.
