More Late Arrivals

Level 1 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Defending Champion Brian Rast Enters

Level 1 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Brian Rast has taken his seat at Table 718, the same table as Matthew Ashton, Abe Mosseri, Harry Madoff, and Brett Richey. Last year, three-time bracelet winner Rast lifted the trophy for the second time in his career and won $1,296,097.

Another player to jump into the action is none other than 10-time bracelet winner Johnny Chan, who sat down at the same table as Scott Seiver, Bruno Fitoussi, Daniel Alaei, and Isaac Haxton.

"Johnny Chan the Master!" quipped an ecstatic Seiver as the poker legend sat down. "There's no room for Phil Hellmuth, though," he added.

Level 1 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Mike Wattel was on the button in a multi-way pot with the action checked to him on {8-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Wattel potted it and Mike Gorodinsky, sitting in the small blind, was the only player willing to continue for the offered 1,500.

The turn {2-Clubs} saw Gorodinsky check and Wattel potted again, making it 4,500. Gorodinsky, however, remained in the contest, calling.

Gorodinsky switched to the aggressive mode on the {10-Diamonds} river, leading out 10,000. Wattel mucked his hand after 10 seconds or so.
