The field is incredibly saturated with pros, and that means it's awfully difficult to track them all. Fortunately the power of social media has made it a bit easier. Here are a few players who've taken to Twitter to tell their tale.
We happened upon Phil Ivey's table just in time to watch him win a decent pot off Marco Johnson. We caught the action with 1,850 in the middle and a board reading . Johnson, who is seated to Ivey's direct left, checked and then called when Ivey bet 600. When the fell on the river, Johnson checked for a second time and then mucked when Ivey bet another 600.
Meanwhile, Daniel Negreanu has been eliminated from the tournament.
"I got beat like a racehorse," is all Negreanu said as he exited the playing area.
Scott Seiver has vaulted himself among the chipleaders. However, he wasn't so fortunate in a hand we caught.
Seiver caught babies as his first three cards, and bet it down until checking seventh street against an opponent showing three babies and three diamonds. His opponent bet, and Seiver made what appeared to be a reluctant call.

Seiver's opponent scooped the pot with aces for high and seven-six low, as Seiver didn't show.
The official numbers are in. Event #8: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix has drawn 388 runners are created a prize pool of $882,700. That will be distributed to the top 40 players with the eventual winner taking home $225,104.
We found Todd Brunson mockingly calling the floor as the dealer apparently pushed the chips to someone else after Brunson showed down on a jack-high board to win a hand.
"I haven't won a pot in so long, he didn't believe I had actually won one," Brunson said as the other players laughed.
"You didn't look like you'd won, that was the problem," another player at the table said.
"That's not the face of a winner," Andy Bloch confirmed as the table chuckled.
A player in early position completed with a four, and Ivey raised with an ace. Another player with a four cold-called, and the original raiser called as well. Ivey caught a deuce and fired again, but the cold-caller raised after getting a deuce as well. The other player got out of the way, and Ivey called. His opponent caught good again with a six, and Ivey must have caught bad because he folded before we could even catch his fifth card.
Nonetheless, Ivey has doubled his stack from the last time we saw him.
Dan Scott had the bring in with the showing, so he promptly put in 75. Greg "FBT" Mueller, who finished as runner-up in this event last year, completed with the and only Scott called.

Mueller proceeded to bet every street and Scott called him down. "Trip eights," Mueller stated before revealing his cards.
"Great last card," Scott said of his own hand before showing the for two pair, which was apparently just enough to get him to throw in 500. Mueller, who was getting a massage, was pushed the pot and chipped up to 18,500 while Scott dropped to 10,000.
