Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
Two of the bigger stacks in the room were seated at the same table — Dmitrii Valouev sitting with a stack of approximately 90,000 and Allan Le not far behind with close to 80,000. Le opened the action to 2,400 and was called by Anthony Costa. Valouev popped it up to 8,400 and after thinking for a moment, Le made it 27,600 to go. Costa quickly got out of the way and after finding out how much more it was to call, Valouev did so.
The flop came 
and Valouev immediately announced "pot." Le didn't waste too long before saying "all right, I'm in," and soon their hands were tabled:
Valouev: 
Le: 
Le had flopped two pair while Valouev had the nut-low draw and gutshot wheel draw. The turn was the 
, keeping Le in the lead. The river was a low card, but it was the 
which was no good for Valouev. Le scooped the entire pot with tens and threes and Valouev could only sit there and mutter "well, that sucked." With only 7,500 left and close to the money, Valouev said "I'll be back" as he went for a walk.

Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
Due to high demand for the first-ever $1,500 Monster Stack event set to begin on Thursday, the World Series of Poker announced that an additional starting flight has been added in order to "accommodate as many people as possible."
According to WSOP VP of Corporate Communications Seth Palansky, the Monster Stack tournament will kick off at 12 p.m. on Thursday as planned, but Day 1 will now last nine levels without a dinner break. The second flight will begin at 5 p.m. and will also play nine levels, also without a scheduled dinner break.
Palansky made it clear that this is not a re-entry event. All players eliminated during the first flight will not be allowed to play in the second flight.
Players that are already registered for the event will remain part of Thursday's noon flight. However, those who wish to switch from the noon flight to the 5 p.m. flight can do so at the WSOP registration cage.
Palansky tweeted on Wednesday that he is expecting more than 4,000 for the first flight of the Monster Stack Event. "Not nearly as many will fit into Flight B," he said.

With 118 players remaining, play is now hand-for-hand with the bubble bust one elimination away.
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
We missed the action due to an error by the dealer who let Ivey and his opponent play down the pot and table their cards during hand-for-hand play. When we arrived at the table Ivey had 
in front of him and the dealer was counting his chips. Ivey's opponent had mucked his cards after Ivey hit a full house on the river on a 
board.
