Singer Folds Two Pair
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
We caught up to find the board reading 
. David Singer was heads up with a lone opponent and his opponent fired 1,650 into the middle.
Singer went into the tank for some time before sighing and folded 
face up.
"Can I get a seat change?" Singer asked jestingly. Despite losing this hand he's sitting sitting pretty with around 27,500.
Just Good Luck for Mercier
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Jason Mercier often likes to joke about how bad he runs on twitter, using his now famous hashtag #justbadluck. Well if he keeps winning hands like this one, he might have to retire it for good. Mercier open shoved his last 2,300 from under the gun, and another early position player called all in for less.
Mercier: 
Opponent: 
Mercier was in a world of hurt, and even though both players smashed the 
flop, Mercier was still far behind. The 
hit the turn, and Mercier was looking for a jack to win the hand, or a three or a nine would chop it for him . Well why chop when you can just win, as the 
on the river did just that. Mercier simply shrugged, and collected the small pot to get back about starting stack.

Hui Hanging with the Big Boys
Level 6
: 100/200, 25 ante
Phillip Hui was one of the most constant presences on the WSOP Circuit this past year. He played at nearly every stop, and easily accumulated enough points to play in the National Championship earlier this month. Well that didn't fare too well for him, but he's doing just fine for himself in his first event of the summer. While we didn't catch the details on either hand, we know from his twitter that he has knocked out two bracelet winners already. We'll let Hui tell you who.

: 100/200, 25 ante

Tamayo: 
Opponent 1 : 
Opponent 2: 
The flop came down 
and Tamayo picked up outs to make a diamond flush. The on the turn didn't do it, but the 
on the river did. He was able to score a double elimination with his diamond flush and boost his stack to about 17,000.
