In 2012 this event only saw one elimination on the first day of play. That number has already been beaten here in 2013 as the second player of the day has fallen.
We arrived at the table just as the cards were being tabled while the flop read 
. After a series of raises, Matt Glantz was all in and at risk against Calvin Anderson.
Anderson; 
Glantz: 
Glantz was drawing big but suddenly realized that his spade outs were covered by Anderson's ace-high draw. The turn brought the and the finished off the board causing Glantz to miss everything and eliminate him from play. He moved his chips across the table, graciously said "good game," and left the tournament area. Anderson dragged in the pot and now sits on about 220,000.

. With about 23,000 already in the middle, Johnson checked over to Mizrachi who fired out 15,000. Johnson tossed out calling chips and the 
struck the river.
Johnson checked again and Mizrachi shuffled some chips on the table for a moment before casually tossing out both of his T25,000 chips for a bet totaling 50,000. Johnson went into the tank for roughly a minute before removing two chips from his own stack and moving them forward.
Mizrachi rolled over 
for deuces full of treys which made Johnson muck his hand. Mizrachi's full house earned him the pot and he now sits at around 215,000 while Johnson was knocked to to roughly 62,000.

Tom Schneider, gunning for his third bracelet of the summer, lost chips during the early levels today, but he just claimed a few back from Cole South in a hand of PLO.
With the board showing

. "Straight's good," said South, and he slid his cards face down to the dealer.
