Schmelzel Crashes Pardy
After a flop of 8♥J♥2♣ Jon Pardy bet from early position, cutoff Alan Schmelzel raised, Pardy went all in, and Schmelzel called for all his chips.
Pardy showed 10♣7♣ for the straight draw, but Schmelzel had A♥K♥ for the nut flush draw.
Neither would come into play as the turn and river came Q♣2♦ and Schmelzel won unimproved, doubling up.

Persinger Tuned In
LoriAnn Persinger raised in late position, nodding evenly to the music in her ears; she was called by the player on the button, as well as the big blind.
When the flop rolled 6♦4♠4♣, the player in the blind took the initiative and bet 1,600. Persinger raised to the tune of 4,600 and both her opponents quickly folded. She continued to nod her head without missing a beat, as she scooped the pot.

Vasilescu Wins the Race
An early position player moved all in for 18,900. Alex Vasilescu looked at his hand and said, "Oh sh*t!" He then asked for a count, but then stopped the dealer. "It doesn't matter," he said and called.
Early Position: J♣J♠
Alex Vasilescu: A♠K♥
Vasilescu immediately took the lead on a A♣Q♥6♠ flop, and added a third ace on the A♥ for good measure. Neither of the jacks hit the river, and Vasilescu got the bustout.

More Than Last Year
With 4,790 players already registered, the field has surpassed the 4,786 mark from last year. Late registration will run through the break after Level 11 (approximately 4:30 p.m. local time).
Meng Applies Pressure
Justin Meng, best known for running his jacks right into the cowboys of a PokerNews reporter deep in the $250 WSOP Daily Deepstack, has gotten off to a good start in this event.
A player opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by the button as well as Meng out of the small blind.
Meng checked following the 3♠5♦6♥ flop and the preflop aggressor continued for 1,900. That was enough to force the button out of the hand but not Meng, who just called.
Action checked through the 9♠ turn to the J♠ river at which point Meng took over the betting lead, pushing a hefty 4,800 into the middle. That got a fold from his opponent to keep Meng chipping up.
