This is the first tournament in which Jonathan Little has made a Day 2 here at the 2014 WSOP. He talks about that, his teaching seminars, and shipping two Bellagio $10Ks.

The exact action escaped us, but we do know that Brandon Crawford bet pot on an 
flop and his opponent, who had roughly 40,000, called off.
Crawford: 
Opponent: 
Crawford was sitting pretty with aces and the flush draw, and he was no doubt happy to see his opponent get marred to pocket kings. The 
turn gave Crawford the said flush, and the 
river gave him the pot.

With around 10,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Eoghan O'Dea checked from the cutoff and Phil Laak bet 7,700 from the button. O'Dea thought for awhile before making the call and then turned right around and led out for 22,000 on the 
turn. Laak wasted little time in folding his hand.
"I would have bet the farm you were check-raising the flop," Sam Feinberg told O'Dea after the hand. "I don't have a farm but...," he trailed off as O'Dea simply smiled.

Mike Watson raised to 5,000 from the hijack only to have Davidi Kitai, who began the day as chip leader, three-bet to 14,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded, and then Watson pushed back with a four-bet to 45,000.
Kitai thought for a bit before making the call and the flop came down 
. Watson took stock of Kitai's stack and then announced a bet of 90,000. Kitai took a minute or so and then slid his cards to the dealer.

We noticed Jason Mercier was no longer in his seat, and a quick check with his friend, Kyle Julius, confirmed that he had been eliminated. In fact, Julius had done the deed.
The details of Mercier's final hand escaped us, but Julius filled us in on some details.
"He got short in a multiway pot," Julius explained. "I had a set and the nut flush draw, he had a gutter and a ten-high flush draw."
Mercier obviously missed and he sent his stack over to Julius, who had done a good job chipping up here on Day 2.
