Well, it didn't take long for the first elimination of the day to occur; in fact, it took just 22 minutes.
It happened when Mehrdad Danialifar opened for 400 only to have Terry Fleischer three-bet to 2,000. Danialifar responded with a four-bet to 7,400, Fleischer called and the flop came down all low cards. Danialifar checked, Fleischer bet 7,000 and Danialifar check-raised all in. Fleischer called and tabled 
, which dominated the 
of Danialifar. Neither the turn nor river helped Danialifar, and he became the first player eliminated from Day 1b of the 2013 World Series of Poker.
Minutes later, Samuel Gregory became the second player to hit the rail. He fell in unknown action.

We heard a player announce his intention to raise with gravity in his voice, and turned to see amateur Abe Berry with a bet of 2,100 strewn in front of his stack.
His opponent had bet the river on the 
board, and called when Berry upped the stakes. The caller revealed 
for trip aces, but he was surprised to see Berry roll over the goods, as he tabled 
for a full boat.

The Amazon Room is home to the World Series of Poker's equivalent of the Boston Garden's rafters, with dozens of banners hanging to honor past and present generations of Main Event champions.
Scotty Nguyen's smiling face adorns one of those banners, as he became one of the more memorable Main Event champs by foretelling his opponent's doom before rolling over the winner.
"You call, it's gonna be all over baby!," Nguyen told Kevin McBride on that fateful day, convincing the unfortunate runner-up to call off the rest of his stack while playing the board. This iconic moment remains one of the most indelible scenes in the grand history of the WSOP, and Nguyen is in the building here today looking to recapture that Main Event magic.
Greg Raymer also become a mainstay of the Main Event, winning poker's most coveted crown in a dominant display during the 2004 WSOP, and finishing in 25th place the following year in a spirited defense of his title.
Raymer has a choice spot along the rail today for adoring "Fossilman" fans to take in the action, just a few tables over from Nguyen, and with two former Main Event champions trying to navigate the minefield known as Day 1, we will make sure you know when their chips begin to move.
Despite saying that he wouldn't be playing any World Series of Poker events this year, "Texas Dolly" Doyle Brunson has had a change of heart. Not only did he end up playing the $50,000 Poker Players' Championship last week, he is now playing the 2013 WSOP Main Event.
ESPN is featuring the ten-time bracelet winner up on the feature stage. PokerNews is certainly glad to see the living legend back in action under the bright lights, and we're sure poker fans are too. Rest assured we'll be keeping an eye on Brunson as the day progresses.

With the board reading 
, Galen Hall led out for 1,300 and was called by the player sitting under the gun. Hall then opted to check the 
turn, before his opponent tanked for a minute, before betting out 850, which was snap called. The 
was turned over on the river, and Hall quickly reached for chips, totalling 5,250. After a short pause, his opponent mucked his hand, sending Hall back up to his starting stack.

The hand started with the player in the hijack opening to 200, and finding a call from Carter Swidler on the big blind. The flop came down 
, as both players opted to check. The 
fell on the turn, as Swidler checked his option, before his opponent threw out a bet out 225. Swidler quickly raised it up to 600, and was called, as the 
completed the board. Swidler fired out 1,500, which was enough to take down the pot.
