We saw Justin Young and his incredible mustache move all in with the flop showing 
, but when he was called down he announced simply "ten-high." Young's 
was a drawing hand, and he needed help on subsequent streets to survive.
His opponent tabled the , and when the turn (
) and river (
) failed to provide Young with a straight, he was showered just before the second break of the day.

With the final board of 
separating Eugene Todd from his opponent, not to mention a pot of about 4,000 waiting to be claimed, the longtime tournament pro moved all in for his last 2,500.
His opponent went into the tank for over two minutes, apologizing to the table while he took the time to calculate the variables.
"Sorry guys," he said. "Just need about thirty seconds more."
"I know you don't have 
," replied Todd. "Well, you might, but that would just be wrong."
With his opponent obviously contemplating a light call, Todd moved in for the kill with his verbal jousting.
"I would fold if I were you," said Todd.
"Yeah," the opponent shot back. "But you wouldn't have played this hand the way I did."
Eventually, the player made the crying call with his 
for a flopped two pair, but Todd had him beat with his 
for a set.

Upeshka Desilva entered the inaugural "Millionaire Maker" event earlier this summer in hopes of becoming a WSOP-minted millionaire, but he had to settle for $175,713 after his deep run to a 7th place finish.
Today, Desilva has been weaving his way through the minefield known as Day 1, and just as he did in the "Millionaire Maker," the young tournament grinder has managed to build a big stack early on.
Desilva currently sits on about 22,000 in chips, which is good for five times the starting stack, and judging by his past performance here at the WSOP he will continue to be a dangerous opponent as his stack grows.

Matt Salsberg has a nice stack of 11,200 after eliminating an opponent with a full house. His opponent could only muster a flush, and Salsberg raked in a big pot to become an early threat early in the tournament.
Level 3

We heard a raucous cheer go up in the Brasilia Room's Silver section, and after a bit of investigation, we found out why.
Clement Hakim was all in for his last 2,300 or so after the flop came 
, and he was called in two spots. When the cards were showed down, Hakim found his 
was trailing the 
and held by his two opponents, but the 
on the turn sealed his triple up, and gave rise to the loud celebration we heard across the room.

Two of the field's most accomplished actors, Vince Van Patten and Jennifer Tilly, have found the ante-only format to be worse than a bad audition, and both have hit the rail midway through the first day of play.
