20 minutes in and it's already first ruling from Thomas Kremser for Antony Mackay - one of the Americans (surely) just made one of those cut-bets holding a bigger stack over the line and taking some back after he'd put a couple hundred in, as is standard in the World Series, and disallowed in the UK. There is a yellow line round the table, but apparently it's not a betting line in the traditional sense, and that kind of bet is in fact allowed. American 1; Tony 0. Let's just hope the dealer doesn't call time on him...

Marcel Luske is OUT already. We think he held A-x on a A-T-A-3-2 rainbow board and bet all the way and was called all the way and put in on the river by...
Yes, we don't know how this one happened either...

Early bit of Mateyboy squared action. Amazing, €10k buy-in and these things still happen.
MB1 has

Sometimes it's impossible to see how 300BB's can get in the middle there...

Xuyen 'Bad Girl' Pham may well be the early chip leader after she removed all of one opponent's chips in two bites:
After she called a preflop raise with
, a pleasing triple heart flop came down, and Seat 1 bet when she checked to him. She wasted no time in check-raising, and was called. The turn was a blank - she check-raised for a second time, and despite this show of strength, didn't dislodge Seat 1 from calling. The river brought a fourth heart - not the ideal card by any means, and now she checked, and faced a 5,000 river bet.
Husband and railer Steve Vladar said that "she called before she could talk herself out of it," and was shown 7-4 in return... So, up to 22k in level One.
After the first break, she got involved with the same guy again, seeing a multiway flop with
and hitting the ever-hoped-for set...there was a heart flush draw with it, however, and Seat 1 was still there on the turn when the flush hit. He got his shorter stack all-in on the turn, showing
for the made flush, but the board paired on the river and we had one very unhappy OutMatey.
Tablemate Casey Kastle added the colour to the end of this story, saying that the guy went bonkers when he busted and pushed over all the glasses on his table, banging the other tables on his stormy way out, breaking a lot of, I imagine, very pricey Monte Carlo tableware.

Meanwhile, I saw everyone rushing round one table, a big hand? No, Phil Helmuth has arrived. He's on the same table as Kirderf. Also playing today is former French International Footballer, Vikash Dharasoo. If you had the original Championship Manager 3, you'll remember he was a good buy as a DMRC (Defensive Midfielder Right/Centre)

Devilfish News Now:
Apparently there was quite a bit of commotion earlier when Devilfish (apparently) laid down Kings to Aces - but since I have only the faintest of hearsay to go on with that one I'll talk about a hand I saw him win instead...
Playing against Philip Hilm (we think - he had different facial hair at the last event) I saw them staring at a
flop intently after Devilfish bet 1,500. When he got called, he asked the old, "How much you got?" one, and then stared at the
turn before throwing in 4,000. This is quite a chunky bet; Hilm dwelled for ages before eventually passing, and Ulliott showed his
, for some reason.

Casey Kastle has doubled up off early pace setter Xuyen Pham, the semi-Vladar raising from the button with K-9, only for Kastle in the small blind to call with A-9 and double up on a 9-9-3 Flop.
Bad Girl down to 17k.

Hachem Busts With Aces:
One opponent on a Q-Q-2 rainbow flop... Joe bet 1,500, Matey raised to 4,000, Joe re-raises to 8,000, Matey moves in - Call. Matey's A-Q was plenty good, and stayed that way...so we're one WSOP champ down in Level Two...

Spoke to the Camel in the break - he said, "I'm on 15,050. Ran into quads and lost the minimum."
on an A-7-J board... picked up a flush draw on the turn, too, but the Jack on the river slowed him down. If it had been the Seven, I'm sure there would have been more damage...and so's he.
_________________________
Richard Redmond is OUT - never one to sit quietly, he's one of those lots-or-no-chips players. This time he raised one from the cutoff with A-K. The small blind called, and the big blind re-raised to 700. He made the pot extra big here, raising to 2,500, which meant that the later bets were of a size which could consume a stack...anyway, the big blind called, and the flop came King high. Big blind checked, and so did Squelch - not sure what was going on here, but there appeared an Ace on the turn, which kicked off the betting which went: 5k, all-in, call rather quickly.
The big blind turned out to have Aces, and Richard was drawing dead on that enticing-looking turn card.

Phil Ivey is OUT.
According to my secret source (anagram STEVE VLADRA), Ivey had T-6 and had reached the Turn with Antonius on a 3-5-6-T board (2 diamonds). Ivey moved all-in for 6.5k (about 10k already in the pot) only for Anonius to call for half his stack with a massive draw,
.
on the River and Ivey was gone.
