Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Theodore Driscoll told us that he was in first position and misclick-raised to 1,100 as he had just started to have a massage. We were asking him to reconstruct Stephen Chidwick’s bust out hand but it got a bit confused after that as several players were conflicted on bet sizes and position.
From what we can tell, another player called Driscoll’s bet and Chidwick three-bet big from the small blind. Driscoll folded but the player on the button called. The flop was 
and Chidwick bet big, then shoved the turn holding 
. The player on the button flopped a set with his and Chidwick’s Main Event came to a premature end.

Brian Rast raised to 750 from the hijack and found an immediate call from the player in the cutoff. The button and blind folded, leaving the two heads-up to the flop.
The dealer fanned 
and Rast continued out for 1,025. His opponent called, allowing the 
to touch down on fourth street. Rast slowed with a check, his opponent checked behind, and the 
finished off the board. Rast flung out a single orange T5,000 chip. This prompted a fold from his opponent and he took down the pot.

A player in early position raised to 2,000, Leo Margets called in middle position and Andrew Brown three-bet from late position. The early-position players four-bet shoved for 18,225, Margets folded and Brown called with 
. His opponent tabled 
and held up through the 
board to double up through Brown.

We didn't see the hand, but 2004 Main Event Champion, Greg Raymer, has been eliminated, according to his Twitter account. As the "Fossil Man" told it, his demise came in the second hand back from dinner when he got his chips all in holding 
. Another opponent held , but Derek Lerner had them both in dire straits with 
. Raymer failed to catch and the former champ was sent to the rail.
Lerner is flirting with a six-figure stack.
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Michael Nelson has made it to the the Amazon Room, and the hilarity continues.
Robert Schmidt profited the most of the situation at hand, as he managed to double up through this man who was unable to locate his own table for about 30 minutes after the dinner break.
In a multi-way pot, the flop showed 
and Schmidt bet 1,400, after which his opponent moved all in immediately. The other players quickly folded and Schmidt called off for a total of 9,725.
Schmidt: 
Nelson: 
"Yes!" Schmidt's opponent cheered as if his hand was unbeatable. The turn was the 
and the man continued, "Boom!"
Schmidt was still in the lead and doubled up when the river brought the 
.
"Yep!" Nelson yelled in excitement once more, while the dealer took the chips from his stack needed to pay off Schmidt.
The dealers started dealing the next hand and the player, out of nowhere, lit a cigarette.
"You're not allowed to smoke in here," the dealer politely said.
"Oh, sorry," Nelson said, as he put out the cigarette in the palm of his hand.
The players at the table and around the table could not hold in their laughter. As long as this player's in the tournament, it will create more and more of these situations. Todd Brunson was at his previous table and he tweeted the following about it:
So a guy just comes back from dinner so drunk, not only he does he not know what table he's at, but what room either. And he has 80k....Follow @ToddBrunson

After the 90-minute dinner break, Sean Winter returned to the Purple Section of the Amazon Room five minutes into Level 4. Upon arriving to his table, he was surprised to find that a very inebriated man was sitting in his assigned seat.
Hahahaha. Come back from dinner 5 min late and there is a guy super drunk can't even talk sitting in my seat.Follow @Nolez7
He said this is my seat I had black guy next to me..next to me is an Asian and a white guy. LolFollow @Nolez7
A few members of the WSOP staff ventured over to the table to help the gentleman out, but he didn't want to leave the table. He was certain that Winter was sitting in his seat. After doing some research, the floor discovered that the player's name was Michael Nelson, and his original table was no longer in play.
Gulp.
With the help of the staff, Nelson stumbled out of the Purple Section so that their scavenger hunt wouldn't disturb the other players. Lead Tournament Supervisor Charlie Ciresi started to ask Nelson questions.
"Have you ever seen this room?" he asked Nelson.
"Yes!" he belted. "I'm sitting RIGHT OVER THERE!!!"
His index finger waved in the direction of Table 444 as he mumbled something about his opponents being afraid of him. Without any clues present, Ciresi and his fellow staff members appeared stumped. That's when ESPN's Andrew Feldman received a hot tip from Matthew Haugen:
Ciresi stared at Feldman's phone, reading the tweet intently. He turned his attention from the mobile device to Feldman, who shrugged.
"OK," Ciresi said.
He informed Nelson that they were going to move him to the Pavilion Room, and he nodded, hiking up his baggy shorts and sticking an unlit cigarette in his mouth. As he tried to double around and exit the Amazon Room, Nelson started to fall, but thankfully, one of our reporters was there to catch him.
"I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I AM!" Nelson shouted as he trudged down the hallways of the Rio, his unlit cigarette dancing on his lips.
After entering the Pavilion Room, Ciresi turned to Nelson and asked him a familiar question.
"Have you seen this room?"
"YEP!" Nelson blurted.
Pulling his pants up every 90 seconds or so, Nelson slowly made his way to the middle of the Yellow Section in the Amazon Room. When he arrived at Table 309, the eight players at the table were all grinning.
"He would come back with the head of security," Maurice Hawkins commented.
Nelson took his seat just in time to act out of turn in a raised pot, throwing out a three-bet before Hawkins made his decision. Hawkins opted to call the raise, which meant that Nelson's bet stood, and the action folded back to the original raiser who called the three-bet. Hawkins put in a reraise, making it 6,000 to go, and both Nelson and the original raiser folded.
Hawkins showed two aces.
Ciresi, who stood by the entire time to make sure that the handoff to the floor person in the Yellow Section went smoothly, stepped in to give Nelson a one-hand penalty. That's when the table broke.
Even Ciresi had to laugh - Nelson was headed back to the Amazon Room.
With Ciresi, a second floor person, and a security guard in tow, Nelson stumbled all the way out of the Pavilion Room with a bag of chips in one hand, and his shorts in another.
"By the way, Mr. Nelson," the second floor person told him. "We're going to have to cut you off."
"Good," Nelson mumbled.
Finally, after a total of 30 minutes, Nelson found his new home at Table 378 Seat 1, where the shenanigans continued...

It was only a matter of time before Gus Hansen and Michael Mizrachi tangled. With the latter only having 10,000 in chips left, it was an easy shove holding 
and an easy call for Hansen holding . It looked like Mizrachi was going to be eliminated as the flop and turn were blanks, but a king on the river hit him smack dab in the face and Mizrachi and Hansen both sit with relatively similar stacks now.

On a flop of 
with roughly 2,500 in the middle, Gerard Piqué was faced with a 1,250-chip bet. Piqué called as the big blind check-folded and the turn landed the 
.
Piqué took the lead on this occasion by betting out 3,500 and his opponent check-called as the 
rolled off on the river.
Both players checked and Piqué tabled his 
for a busted flush draw while his opponent tabled his winning . The FC Barcelona center-back is now down to 43,300 in chips.
