Dan O'Brien limped from early position only to have the player to his left move all in for 1,425. The rest of the field got out of the way and O'Brien shrugged before making the call.

O'Brien seemed content with his position, but he would ultimately be left wanting as the board ran out an uninspiring

There are still about 50 minutes to register for this tournament, and one man who has taken advantage is Brandon "Any Two" Cantu. The two-time bracelet winner just sat down in Seat 7 at Table 1, the same table as Frenchman Alain Roy. Cantu has elected to wait until his big blind in lieu of posting.

Back in the far corner, a big pot was brewing between Henry Tran and his opponent in the big blind. We picked up the action with around 3,500 in the pot and a board reading 
. We didn't catch the exact action, but we do know Tran and his opponent got it all in, with the latter being at risk for approximately 3,900.

Big Blind:   |
The table looked on in awe as Tran called for the , his only out. The dealer did not oblige and put out a blank on the river. Tran, who you may recall from this year's broadcast of the WSOP on ESPN as the man who refused to show his cards to the hole cam and engaged Tournament Director Jack Effel in a debate, was left shaking his head and working with a stack of 4,000.

We know she just busted, but don't let that discourage you from watching as Sarah Grant talks to Team PokerStars Vanessa Selbst about her bumpy morning and how she approaches events with small starting stacks.
Players are now on their second 20-minute break of the day.

With 2,500 in the pot and a board reading 
, the player in the under-the-gun position bet 700 and received a call from Joe Kuether in the cutoff. The 
river saw the under-the-gun player slow down with a check, and then call when Kuether bet 1,200. The latter revealed 
for a rivered set, but it was no good against the 
of Kuether.
Meanwhile, Henry Tran has been eliminated from the tournament.
