Popular podcast host Adam "Adam22" Grandmaison had entered his second ever WSOP Main Event and tweeted he spun up the stack to 88,000 in the first level of play. He was moved into the Silver section of the Horseshoe Event Center from where he vanished just before the previous break.
According to players at the table, Grandmaison got it in with around 40,000 and ace-queen off suit but ran smack dab into the pocket kings of Julie Bae. The 6x4x4x flop kept Grandmaison in contention but another king on the turn gave Bae an unbeatable full house.

Picking up the action on the river, Guillaume Nolet on the button was involved in a hand with a player in late position. With the board reading 4♦10♠9♠2♦3♦ the late position player led out for 7,000. Nolet responded by raising to 25,000 and his opponent quickly called, tabling 9♣9♦. The set of nines was no good as Nolet held A♦K♦ for the second nuts to take down a sizable pot.
Evangelos Tsoutsas opened 2,600 under the gun and Christina Renz called in the small blind before Rodrigo Motoki came along in the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 10♣5♦5♠ and the action checked to Tsoutsas who continued for 3,200. Only Motoki called.
The 2♠ turn and 9♣ river received checks from both players and Tsoutsas rolled over A♣K♠ before seeing the 6♣6♥ of Motoki.
A player in middle position opened to 2,500 and was called by Kevin Pollak on the button and the player in the big blind.
Action checked to Pollak on the 5♠10♦J♥ flop and he bet 5,000. Only the initial raiser called.
The 4♦ came on the turn and Pollak's opponent checked again. This time Pollak announced he was all in for 17,400 total and his opponent folded after a bit of thought.
The American actor hasn't had the best start, but he still has 34,000 to work with as Day 2d rolls on.
At the end of the previous level, the UK's Alexandra O'Brien scored a double in the most classic of setups.
