We didn't see where the money got in but Vanessa Selbst was holding 
on a board of 
. Her opponent was holding 
for a flopped set and that was good enough for Selbst to be counting out chips to ship over to him. Selbst is still above starting stack but is relatively short compared to the average and the blinds.

We came by Ari Engel's table and he was involved in a small pot. Engel called a raise of 400 from a player in early middle position. From the big blind a player reraised to 1,400 and both players folded.
While seemingly inconsequential the pot led us to see what a big stack Engel was sporting. It was nearly 20,000 chips. Just a few seats over Dominik Nitsche was also supporting a monster stack for this level. He had even more than Engel with 22,500. The two are bound to collide at some point in the day as it doesn't look as if their table will break for a while.

giving Frankenberger a bunch of new outs. "I need an eight. I need an eight!" he said to the dealer as the turn was being dealt. It wasn't an eight though, it was the

Dan Kelly just arrived in the building looking to add to his already impressive resume here in 2013 at the World Series of Poker. Looks like he's giving his opponents a head start here in Event #42 as he's already lost a bunch of chips.
Preflop Kelly opened to 450 and was called by one opponent on the button. Both players checked through the 
flop to the
