Penalty Kicks
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
When we last saw Henry Van Tran, the excitable player was being assessed a penalty in the 2012 Main Event for his deliberately slow play, as well as a bit of verbal misconduct directed at a tournament director.
Today, Van Tran is playing nice, especially after notching an early double.
Tran moved all in over the top of a raise with the flop reading 
. His opponent tanked for a minute before calling off with 
, and Tran found himself ahead with his 
.
When the turn (
) and river (
) brought no spades or tens to the board, Tran's flopped top pair held up for the win.

Femme Fatale
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
Earlier in the summer, Sarah Tolagson made a deep run to finish 15th in Event #34 ($1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em), and today she is making a strong push to best that result.
With Tolagson's table located directly in front of the PokerNews Live Reporting desk, we had a firsthand seat as she just sent two players to the showers.
Her 
connected with the 
board to make a runner-runner flush, which was more than enough to best the 
tabled by her opponent.
Shortly after claiming her first pelt, Tolagson had her stack pushed forward once more, while another player stood to depart the table. We missed the hands, but Tolagson's was superior, and she has now tripled her starting stack early in the day.

Barry O.G.
Level 2
: 25/50, 0 ante
Barry Greenstein just chipped up with one of the simplest plays in poker: the three-bet blind defense.
A player raised to 200 from the cutoff, and with the action back on him in the big blind, Greenstein popped it to 450. The push back worked to perfection, and the raiser mucked his hand.

We just witnessed the early exit of a poker legend, as T.J. Cloutier has been eliminated.
The final board read 
, and Cloutier tried to push Vincent Wille around with the 
.
According to Wille, the chips got in the middle on the turn, after Cloutier found four to the nut flush. Wille made the call with his 
.
"That's exactly what I thought you had there too...," said Cloutier. "Nice hand and good game."
Another player at the table also chimed in, saying "he almost moved you off the kings" while Wille stacked his new chips.
