Players have been sent on their second 20-minute break of the day. They will return to blinds of 200/400 with a 400 big blind ante. As in the first level, there have been a number of big hands, horrific coolers and unfortunate suck outs. One story to follow is Adam Walton, who is off to another hot start after bagging the Day 1f chiplead at last year's Main Event. Find highlights from the past two hours below.
There was already 5,000 in the pot on the 
flop and Matthew Davenport bet 1,800 from middle position.
Russian pro, Vitaly Lunkin called and American pro, Matt Stout, got out of the way.
The turn brought the 
and Davenport checked. Lunkin fired out 2,500 and Davenport called.
On the 
river the action went check-check.
Davenport showed 
a set of sixes and Lunkin flashed 
for a set of fours as his hand went into the muck.
Lunkin avoided potential disaster on the flop by just calling and he remains above his starting stack early.
With 15,000 in the middle on a 
board, the cutoff bet 7,000.
Adam Walton, sitting in early position, put his opponent all in. The cutoff, who had approximately 43,000 behind, contemplated for just under two minutes before finally making the call.
Walton flashed 
for a full house, rivering the best hand against his opponent's 
for a flopped straight.
Adam Walton was the Day 1F chip leader in last year's Main Event and is looking to get off to a similar start in 2022. Walton ended up finishing in 42nd place and taking home $163,900.
Antoine Winfield is known for his ability on the gridiron, but he's putting his grinding skills to the test here in the Main Event.
With 800 in the middle on the 
flop, the small blind led for 500 and Winfield called.
The turn brought the 
and Winfield called another 2,000 from the small blind.
On the river, the small blind slowed down with a check and Winfield pounced on that like he would an errant throw from a quarterback. Winfield fired out 5,000 and the small blind gave it up.
He's just under-starting stack in the early hours of the day.
Raminder Singh is chipping up in the early going.
Singh, born in India but resides in Florida, has more than $1,700,000 in recorded earnings.
He took down the RunGOOD All-Stars Pro-Am Invitational Entry here in Las Vegas last December.
Singh also has a long list of cashes and victories just this year.
With 22,000 already in the middle on the 
river, Singh overbet to 31,000 and forced a fold.
He is already well over his starting stack with that pot.
Players have been sent on their first 20-minute break of the day. They will return to blinds of 200/300 with a 300 big blind ante.
Though the field started the day 300 big blinds deep, that did not prevent high-level action from taking place, with early eliminations and big hands. Of note is the fact that Andreas Kniep has already managed to run up a big stack in his bid to make two consecutive deep runs in the WSOP Main Event. Find below highlights from the first two hours of play.
Three nines were hitching a ride on a board that read 
with a pot of about 7,500 stewing in the middle.
Action was on Mustapha Kanit in middle position who thought for some time before over-betting the pot to 8,500. Bill Ingram was on the button and said "Well I'm not gonna fold a full house" and tossed in the chips.
Kanit showed the which beat Ingram's full house of 
.
"Good hit," said Ingram as Kanit gathered the chips.
Dan Shak was spotted in the field.
Shak has more than $11,000,000 in recorded earnings.
He also has five cashes already at the series, including a 10th place finish in the $10,000 2-7 Lowball and a 12th place finish in the $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller.
Cary Katz, who has more than $34,000,000 in earnings and has also been instrumental in launching things such as PokerGO, the Super High Roller Bowl, Poker Masters, and U.S. Poker Open, has taken his seat.
Katz raised it up to 400 and found two callers.
On the 
flop, Katz was checked to and he fired out 1,400 to take down the pot.
Meanwhile, Alex Foxen took his seat at the same table.
Foxen is coming off the biggest win of his career. Last week he took down his first WSOP bracelet in the $250,000 Super High Roller event for $4,563,700.
