"Three hands, three rebuys," Greg "FBT" Mueller shouted as he barreled through a hallway here at the Rio. He seemed to be taking the beats in good enough spirits at least.
We didn't see how it happened, but Carlos Mortensen confirmed that Chris Moorman has busted out of the tournament.

With 2,150 registrants at the moment, and more coming in by the minute as player's bustout and reenter, today's second flight of the Little One for One Drop is on pace to shatter yesterday's count of 2,233 entries.
The amateurs and the pros alike seem to be quite enthused with this reentry format, and the play has definitely picked up during the third level.
With a little over an hour left to late register or reenter the tournament, we expect to see a few hundred more donations to the One Drop charity to be made here today.

With the board reading 
by the turn, Patrick Eskandar moved all in to put his opponent to a tough test.
Eventually, the other player called with 
for two pair, and Eskandar tabled the 
.
"I have a straight draw," Eskandar told the table as the dealer burned and turned the 
on the river. "But that's event better."
With his trip aces, Eskandar doubled through, and he now sits with about 7,300 chips.
We've found a few more notable names among the field as players continue to late register for the event.
