Hellmuth Headed Out
Level 6
: 150/300, 0 ante
We also weren't able to catch the details on the bustout hand, but 13-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth will have to wait another day to battle for #14. He tweeted this just a few minutes ago.
Disappointed in myself! I made 1 big mistake & busted. PotLimOmaha 8/b is such a beautiful game too...Wish I woulda given myself a chanceFollow @phil_hellmuth

No Day 2 for Dan Kelly
Level 6
: 150/300, 0 ante
We didn't catch the hand that did him in, so it's hard for us to truly believe, but it looks like Dan "djk123" Kelly has actually busted on a Day 1. This is of course big news because Kelly has been on an absurd run at the 2013 WSOP so far. He has cashed eight times, which basically means that as soon as he has busted out of an event, he jumped into the next one and cashed in that as well. Well for once, the field can breathe easy, as the hottest player in the Rio is out of today's event.

A Mountain of Chips on Table 5
Level 6
: 150/300, 0 ante
As we walked by the table in front of our desk, which is where Erick Lindgren is currently presiding, we saw that he had chips. A lot of chips. Double more then anyone we have seen so far. As we were attempting to count it, one of his table mates said "we have a mountain of chips over here!" Sure enough, when we were finished calculating it, we pegged Lindgren at 49,000, easily the chip lead in the whole room.

Players Busting Rapidly
Level 6
: 150/300, 0 ante
As we were expecting, the players have been busting rather quickly, just like they did in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event a few days ago. We've already lost almost half the players in play before the dinner break, and the entire red section has broken. The bronze section only has 10 tables left, and there's a good chance most of them will be broken by dinner. The money has only been reached by end of Day 1 in a few events so far this series. Will this be another one?
New Champion in This Event
Level 6
: 150/300, 0 ante
As we were walking through the silver section, we saw one player on the rail who looked like the defending champion of this event, Steven Loube. Sure enough, as we walked over, he cracked a joke "man win this event last year can't last four hours this year!" It looks like we will have a new champion this time around.

Ivey In, Ivey Out
Level 5
: 100/200, 0 ante
Well we were hoping to be front row for a show today as Phil Ivey sat down at the table right in front of us, but it only took him a few hands to bust. Ivey got the rest of his stack in on a 
flop. Ivey had a world of draws with 
, and his opponent Jordan Zynda held 
for trip queens. Ivey was looking for a nine, ten, king, or the case ace to win the hand, but none of those came, as the board ran down 
and 
.
With no afternoon event today, it looks like this is the last of Ivey we will see for the day.
