Australian poker phenom James Obst has taken Davidi Kitai's old seat next to Daniel Negreanu. Obst cashed in four World Series of Poker events this summer including a third place finish in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship and a 10th place finish in the $50,000 Players' Championship.
Obst's sitting on a big stack with the end of the day in sight, even more than Negreanu who's still busy signing autographs in-between hands with fans on the rail.

From the hijack seat, NBA star Paul Pierce raised to 1,100. The player on the button and the player in the big blind both called to see the flop come down . All three players checked through to see the pair the board on the turn, and action checked around again.
After the completed the board on the river, the first player checked, Pierce bet 2,500, and both of his opponents folded.
With that, Pierce scooped the pot and moved back over 60,000 in chips.

The tournament staff has just announced that the remaining players will play five more hands at each table before bagging and tagging for the night. We're headed out to catch any last-minute action and to compile a list of chips counts. Stay tuned for those as well as a full recap of the Day 1c action.
"Can I hug you?" a big Tom Dwan fan just said as she stood side by side with her idol.
Dwan, who laughed, put his arm around the tiny girl who showed an even bigger smile as her boyfriend took a few quick photos.
"Sorry for disturbing you, but we wanted to get a photo before you're going back to Macau," the boyfriend said.
"This is one of the first times I've seen him smile on one of these photos," Aguiar said while laughing uncontrollably. "Usually I'm the one taking these photos and I charge $20, so you're lucky," Aguiar.
Aguiar recalled what had happened before we arrived and said, "Her boyfriend came up to Dwan and said that his girlfriend is a big fan, she was too shocked to say anything," Aguiar said with a big smile.
The atmosphere at the table remained very jovial as Dwan had a hard time not to laugh playing the next hand he was dealt.
A player shoved all in for about 4,000 at Nick Yunis' table, and action folded to Yunis in the big blind. He considered for a bit before making what appeared to be a somewhat reluctant call.

Opponent:
Yunis failed to hit anything as the board came , giving his opponent a boat and taking a small chunk of out of Yunis' monster stack.

NBA star Paul Pierce has opted to forgo that last few minutes of play today and jet out of here early. With 15 minutes left on the clock for the night (the clock would be paused with 10 minutes left in the level to play an equal amount of hands at each table), Pierce took off with just under 61,000 left in his stack. He'll miss a few hands, plus lose some blinds and antes, but a near-double starting stack heading into Day 2 was something he seemed pleased about.

Phil Ivey raised to 900 in the cutoff seat, the player on the button reraised to 2,300, and Ivey called to see a flop. Ivey checked to his opponent, who bet 2,100. Ivey check-raised to 10,000, and after a few moments his opponent reraised all in for 12,100.
Ivey called with the for a straight, leading his opponent's for a Broadway draw. The turn and river locked up the pot for Ivey, who just may very well be the Day 1c chip leader following this pot.
