We noticed a dealer packing up his well, and two empty seats at Table #350, which could only mean that the match between Brandon Meyers and Chou Chou had come to a quick conclusion.
Although we missed the bustout hand, Meyers was victorious party, and he will return at 8:00pm PST to compete in Round 2 action.
The action is heating up and players are standing to shake hands, signalling the end of another heads-up match.
This time it was Douglas Polk who vanquished Jason Mo, and as the runner-up in this event last year, Mo's brief run here in 2013 comes as a slight surprise.
Polk has stamped his ticket to Round 2, and with considering the brevity of his match with Mo, Polk will be well rested entering the next stage of the tournament.
Both Jonathan Duhamel and Marc-Andre Ladouceur have yet to dip into their add-ons, but we found Ladouceur all in for his first bullet holding before the flop. Ladouceur's hand was crushing Duhamel's .
The board ran out and Ladouceur was able to double to around 16,600 with two add-ons back. Duhamel is now sitting on about 3,400 with two add-ons.
Another two quick victories were reported from the floor as Scott Seiver was able to beat Darren Elias in their match while elsewhere in the room Nicholas Petrangelo felted Suk Min Sung for the victory.
We just caught wind that Marc-Andre Ladouceur's momentum against Jonathan Duhamel has propelled him into a victory. He will be advancing to the next round. Duhamel quickly took to his Twitter after the match.
French pro Fabrice Touil is showing that he will not be cowed by one of poker's most intimidating forces.
Touil raised preflop, making it 3,200 to go, and Ivey came along to see the flop fall . Touil then led out for 5,300, and Ivey tossed out three chips for a raise, pumping the action to 11,000. Undeterred by Ivey's characteristic aggression, Touil moved all-in over the top, and Ivey wasted no time in mucking his hand.
