After an under-the-gun player opened for 1,900 and another player in middle position called, online superstar Hac "trex313" Dang came along from the big blind to make it three-way action to the 
flop, which the trio checked.
Checks from each player followed on both the 
turn and 
river, which prompted Dang to table the 
for a pair of sevens. It was good as both Dang's opponents sent their cards to the muck.
The board read 
when we found Paul Tedeschi heads up with an opponent. Tedeschi had first action on the turn and fired out a bet of 2,850. His opponent flatted, allowing the 
to hit the felt on the turn.
Tedeschi came out with a bet of what looked to be 4,800. His opponent instantly called and Tedeschi turned over 
for kings and nines. His two pair turned out to be the second best hand, however, as his opponent flipped up 
for trip nines. With this hit, Tedeschi is now down to about 135,500 in chips.
We found Kevin Schaffel cutting out chips to double up a short stack who had about 23,000. Schaffel held 
on a board of 
, but his opponent had flopped top set with 
and turned Schaffel dead.
Over on Table 443, there is an empty seat and a rack of chips where Artur Koren is supposed to be sitting. Koren's original table — 374 — was the second to break today, and the staff moved his chips across the room into the Purple Section, where they have been siphoned slowly.
Unfortunately for the Austrian, his starting table isn't the only thing that has been broken today.
According to friend and would-be tablemate Kevin MacPhee, Koren was skateboarding over to the Rio for the start of Day 2a from Palms Place when he was struck by a car. He was taken to the hospital where he had his arm placed in a cast, and he has been texting MacPhee for updates on his stack.
"It's got to be broken," MacPhee said, showing us pictures of his arm on his phone.
Koren began the day with 68,850 chips, and by our count he's down to around 63,000. We wish the Austrian a speedy recovery as his stack slowly dwindles.
Scott Waltenburg, who hails from Northbrook, Illinois, opened the action with a raise and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow called from middle position. The rest of the players folded and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Waltenburg proceeded to check-call a bet before checking the turn. Matusow took the opportunity to move all in for his last 12,000 or so, and he didn't seem too excited when Waltenburg announced a call.
Matusow: 
Waltenburg: 
Matusow had picked a bad time to shove, but he still had outs as either a jack, ace or eight would give him the win. The dealer burned one last time and put out the . It was a blank for Matusow, and the usually boisterous player ended his 2014 WSOP by wishing the table luck and exiting the tournament area.
