Shortly before the resumption of play, Roland Reparejo collected his bracelet for winning Event #1: $500 Casino Employees No-Limit Hold'Em. Reparejo collected $82,835 for his win and according to WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel it was the first time the national anthem for the Phillippines has been played at a bracelet ceremony. The players all stood as the anthem was played and Reparejo received a nice round of applause as he was handed his bracelet.
Prior to the break, Phil Hellmuth raised from under the gun for 150. The player to his immediate left, a young 20-something, made it 500 to go. It was folded around to Hellmuth who four-bet to 1,000. His opponent raised enough to set Hellmuth all in and the all-time leader in WSOP cashes made the call. The hands:
Hellmuth
Kid
Hellmuth had his opponent dominated and was looking good to double up to nearly 6,500 in chips, but the dealer would put out a flop that would change that as it came to give his foe top set.
The turn was the and the river was the , and Hellmuth's day was done almost as quickly as it started.

After raking in a moderate-sized pot with on a board, Amanda Musumeci was asked by Max Pescatori what her name was. The two introduced themselves and Pescatori looked at Musumeci and said "Let me ask you an honest question."
He paused for a moment and then said "I twitted." He was interrupted at that point by laughter from the entire table and the Italian pro looked confused. "It's tweeted," explained Musumeci.
"Okay, well then I tweeted," said Pescatori, a grin on his face. "I tweeted that all women in the US should get a calculator on their 18th birthday. Is that offensive?" Musumeci gave him a glance, uncertain if Pescatori was joking or not. The rest of the table seemed unsure as well, some laughed while others groaned.
Most seemed to take Pescatori for kidding around and the next hand was dealt.
