As time closes in on the second level of the day, a few more players have been spotted taking their seats.
2014 World Series of Poker
Joseph Cheong has been fast out of the starting blocks today and has quickly added more than 10,000 chips to his stack.
Vanessa Selbst is also now in the field and is already doing what she does best, winning chips.
Allan Le opened to 250 and Chance Kornuth called out of the big blind. Kornuth then check-called a 400 bet on a ![]()
![]()
flop before both players checked the
turn.
Kornuth checked again when the
river came into view. Le bet 650 and Kornuth mucked his hand.
A player near the PokerNews blogging desk stood up and started to pack his belongings.
Upon further review we saw a board of ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Yevgeniy Timoshenko's ![]()
![]()
![]()
tabled as he cut down his all-in chip stack. With Timoshenko having his opponent covered, he scooped the pot and sent that player to the rail.
Kirill Gerasimov's seat is now empty, and with a quick look around the room, it appears as though the Russian has been eliminated from the tournament.

Philipp Gruissem raised to 300 from the cutoff, Pete Linton called from the button, and both blinds folded.
Gruissem then led for 600 on the ![]()
![]()
flop and Linton called. Both players checked the
turn before Gruissem fired a 1,275 bet on the
river. Linton called, then Gruissem checked his cards and mucked.
Linton attempted to muck but the dealer said "show me a winner," and Linton flipped over the ![]()
![]()
![]()
for a full house.
These are a few of the players taking their seats at the last open tables in the Silver section.
