Just moments ago Raj Vohra took the chip lead when his held true against an opponent's to move to 312,000.

However over in the Amazon Room, Italian player Sergio Castelluccio - who has held the chip lead since the opening few minutes of play - wasn't having any of that as he swiftly stole it back.

Castelluccio won several pots with the latest seeing him bet out 3,000 on a flop to force folds from two opponent's; one of which was fellow countryman Luca Pagano.

As Castelluccio ran away from the table (maybe for a bathroom break it seemed), our PokerNews reporter managed to count down his stack and it amounted to 331,300 ... enough for Castelluccio to re-take the lead from Vohra.

Balsiger Takes Advantage

Partilhar no Twitter Partilhar no Facebook

We saw three players go to the flop, Jake Balsiger in the small blind, the player in the hijack and the player on the button. While we don't have the betting amounts, we do know a raise was involved.

The flop was dealt and all three players checked. The player in the hijack looked to be the one that had the lead preflop as when Balsigner checked over to him, he picked up his chips as if to bet and then thought better of it. He thought for a bit and in the end he checked.

Balsinger took the invitation to bet on the turn and both players folded.

"Isn't that a famous hand or something?" someone at the table asked.

The turn was the and the big blind checked to Brunson again. Brunson bet and got a snap fold out of his opponent. Brunson only flashed the but his boat was good enough to take down the pot.

"Just say he had ten-deuce for the sake of the blog," Brunson's opponent said while laughing.

Eric Mizrachi has been eliminated after nursing a short stack for much of the afternoon. There will be no repeat of the amazing feat from 2010 when four Mizrachi brothers (Eric, Donny, Robert, and Michael) all made the money in the Main Event, with Michael going on to finish fifth.

Incidentally, "The Grinder" ended Day 1c among the chip leaders of that flight and will be returning to a big stack for tomorrow's Day 2c. Robert Mizrachi will also be back tomorrow with a below average stack to start, while Donny did not make it through Day 1c.

Steven “Cuz” Buckner and Kristen Bicknell, who won Event #51: $10,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold’Em Championship, were the only players in the pot. Buckner moved all in with a covering stack.

After the hand, Bucker was up to 133,00 in chips, and Bicknell made her way to the exit.
