We didn't catch her bust out, but as we perused the green and yellow sections we noticed that Vanessa Rousso was missing. Here's what she had to say via twitter:
Freddy Deeb has been absent for the past 45 minutes
The seat formerly occupied by Freddy Deeb is empty, but Deeb's monster chip stack is still there. Deeb has been gone for about 45 minutes now, letting his chips very slowly blind away. He still had 132,500 in chips when we walked by, so the two-time bracelet winner is in no danger of being blinded out of the tournament. In fact, with a stack that large, he could probably stay away for the rest of the night and still be competitive on Day 2. We'll keep an eye out for Deeb to see if he returns.
Following a raise to 850, David Sands made the call from the button to see a flop fall.
Sands' opponent tossed in 1,300 and Sands made the call as the turn landed the and he was greeted by a 2,500-chip bet.
Taking close to a minute before reaching his decision, Sands made the call as the on the river was followed by a 3,800-chip bet from his opponent.
Sands took a little longer on this street - roughly two minutes - before he made the call only to be shown the of his opponent as he slipped to 14,700 in chips.
