Gus Hansen was one of the first players to use up both his rebuys earlier today and for much of the day has been one of the short stacks. While he doesn’t yet have a big chip stack, he has recently doubled up and is currently much healthier.
The hand in which Hansen doubled up was against last night’s GDAM Warm-Up fifth-place finisher Tore Lukashaugen. It all started with Lukashaugen opening to 65,000 from under the gun. Hansen was on the button and quickly three-bet more than half his stack. The blinds were quickly out of the way and within just a few moments, Lukashaugen had raised, all of Hansen’s 481,000 in chips were in the middle and the cards were on the felt.
Hansen: 
Lukashaugen: 
Hansen was in front and looking good and it stayed that way as a 
board meant that Hansen had doubled up to just under 1 million.

The 2012 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Merson has been one of the short stacks for much of the last level or so, but that is no longer the case as he has recently made a great call to snag a nice double up.
The hand started with Merson opening it up to 60,000 from middle position. Sorel Mizzi called from the button and so too did Fenglei Qian from the big blind. On the 
flop, Qian checked and Merson bet 130,000. Mizzi quickly folded, while Qian made the call. The would see both players check and a 
would complete the board.
On the river, Qian slammed down a massive stack of 100,000-denomination chips, which was enough to put Merson all in. Merson went into the tank here, eventually calling off his remaining 654,000. At showdown, Qian tabled 
for just a pair of threes, while Merson held for a pair of tens. Just like that, Merson is back up to around 1.5 million in chips.

The players have been sent on their final 15-minute break of the day. Just one more level after they return and Day 1 of the GDAM Main Event will be in the record books.
Nível: 7
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 5,000
Approximately 54 players are back from their break and ready to play one more level before calling it a night. In 60 minutes the surviving players will bag their chips and come back tomorrow.
Sorel Mizzi has just recalled to us the massive pot that he just played prior to the break. It was Mizzi up against Australia’s Kyle Cheong. Apparently Mizzi opened it up with a raise preflop and Cheong flat-called from the button.
Mizzi and Cheong took to a 
flop, with two clubs, and Mizzi led for 150,000. Cheong then made it 400,000 and it was back on Mizzi who made it 750,000. Cheong then moved all in, having Mizzi covered by a small amount.
Mizzi called and tabled having flopped a set of fives, while Cheong held for top-two pair. The turn was a 
and the river an 
and just like that Cheong crippled and Mizzi was up to massive 6 million.

We have just found out about a massive hand that saw Shaun Deeb eliminated holding the nut-flush. It was just prior to the break and it was Deeb up against JC Alvarado. There was a 
board out on the felt, with all clubs prompting Alvarado to check. At this point Deeb bet the majority of his stack and Alvarado moved all in.
Apparently after thinking for quite some time, Deeb told Alvarado that he wasn’t slow rolling when he called and tabled 
for the ace-high flush.
Slow rolling he certainly was not as Alvarado turned over 
for a straight flush and enough to send Deeb packing. Following Deeb's elimination, Alvarado is up around 4 million in chips.
