Matt Stout's chair had been filled with someone that was definitely not Matt Stout so we took to Twitter to see what had happened:

Back in 2009, Joe Cada topped a field of 6,494 players to win this very event for $8,547,042. Cada, who became the first player to follow up his Main Event win by capturing a bracelet since Carlos Mortensen (something he did this summer when he won Event #32: $10,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship for $670,041), was hoping for another superb showing, but his hopes were just crushed in a most-classic of coolers.
It happened over at one of the secondary feature tables when a player opened for 1,800 and Dennis Longoria called. Cada then three-bet to 5,500, the original raiser called, and Longoria sprung to life with a four-bet to 20,100.
Cada thought long and hard before moving all in for 55,000 or so, and action was back on the original raiser. He tanked for a long time before releasing what turned out to be pocket queens. Longoria then snap-called with 
. Unfortunately for Cada, his 
was crushed and he failed to find help. It's worth noting though the board contained a queen, so things could have played out very differently for Longoria.
As it was, he eliminated Cada and increased his stack to 165,000.

Bryan Devonshire led out for a half-pot bet of 7,300 on a board of 
, and Haralabos Voulgaris put in a raise to 17,000. Devonshire, who finished 12th in the 2011 Main Event, studied Voulgaris, then called.
The 
paired the board on the river, Devonshire checked, and Voulgaris bet 32,200 - roughly half of Devonshire's stack. He made a fairly quick call, Voulgaris showed 
, and Devonshire let out a deep sigh, flashing 
ever-so-slightly before mucking.
"And I thought that was a good card," Devonshire said after the hand, referring to the river.
Voulgaris laughed.
Ironically enough, before the hand, Devonshire tweeted the following about Voulgaris and the table getting tougher:
@devochips Made some wrong hero calls. Still hovering around 85k. Replacement players getting tougher with @RonnieBardah and @haralabob.Follow @devopoker
