In the Brasilia Room, "Pegasus" is the nickname of circuit grinder, Mark Smith. Pegasus has sprung up the chip counts - improving his 2,000 chips that we had him at the last count - to a much more substantial 10,300.

Phil Ivey busted from Event #13: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship and immediately bought into this Pot-Limit Hold'em tournament.
Ivey is reported to have a large sum of money at stake from bracelet bets so is trying to maximise his chances of winning one by playing as many events as he possibly can.

, having the 
of his opponent dominated.

Barny Boatman won his first WSOP bracelet in 2013 and is keen to add a second to his collection. There may be a long way to go in Event #12 before that happens, but he's doing his chances of glory no harm at all by constantly accumulating chips. He now has 23,000.
