Heitmann Present
Level 1
: 25/25, 0 ante
Jan Heitmann has taken his seat here in the Gold section of the Brasilia Room. The PokerStars Team Pro finished 26th in last year's WSOP Main Event, and will be hoping to make another deep run in this event.
He has been halved though, as he's been spotted with 1,500 in chips.

Spazzing Out On Little
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
Jonathan Little is no longer in the field and we weren't able to catch the bust out since he was in the Pavilion room, but thanks to the help of some noisy blue birds we were able to get a glimpse of what happened to send him home:
The $1000 did no go well. A kid tried his best to spaz out to me but runner runnered a flush instead.Follow @JonathanLittle

Wasicka Shoves
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
It looks as if Paul Wasicka is looking to build a stack early here on day one, or he's trying to get home early.
Preflop Wasicka raised to 150 and action folded to the player in the small blind who made a reraise to 400. After that Wasicka moved all in for 1,775.
The player in the small blind asked for a count, but eventually reached for her hand and mucked it. Wasicka raked up the decent sized pot without a showdown here on day one.

Just moments after mentioning that Jan Heitmann was in the field, we passed by his table and he was gone. After inquiring to some of the players at his table we discovered that Heitmann has indeed busted from the tournament here in the second level of the day.

Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
We arrived at the table to find the player under the gun open to 150, before getting called by David “ODB” Bakes on the button, as well as Allen Kessler on the big blind. The flop came down 
, and the action was checked around to Bakes, who threw in 225. Kessler then raised it up to 525, which was enough to take down the pot.

Selbst Gives Up
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
Vanessa Selbst was recently moved to a new table, and was active early on. The table folded around to her on the button, as she opened to 125. Both blinds called, as the flop came down 
. Two checks, saw Selbst throw in a continuation bet of 150, as the small blind stuck around. Both players then checked the 
on the turn, and 
on the river.
The small blind casually turned over 
, which resulted in Selbst mucking her hand.

Pilgrim Hits a Rock
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
On a board of 
Dwight Pilgrim was involved in a pot with one other player.
There was 1,500 chips already in the middle and Pilgrim's opponent had moved all in. Pilgrim was in the tank and he thought about it for a bit before finally releasing his hand into the muck.
Pilgrim has already gotten off to a good start for the day, so that pot didn't hurt him much.
