Crocodile Tears:

Vanessa Selbst took a bite out of Billy "The Croc" Argyros by getting all of her chips in on a board of Q

Level:

SB 50
BB 100
Bets 100-200

Maridu Mayrinck was seen scooping a pot giving her stack an early boost.

Scott Clements was seen betting a board of 2 Q 6 K 7 , he was called and Clements showed J 3 A 8 for a flush and the nut low to scoop the pot.

Daniel Negreanu is now in the field. He is eating his dinner while sitting at Mike Matusow's table. He was seen chopping a pot with three eights and the other player had the nut low. After the hand Negreanu was heard saying "I have lost my mind". This is Negreanu's 3rd event he played today. The first was day 2 of the Razz tourney and the second was Day 1 of the 10K Pot Limit Holdem Championship event. Hopefully, he will be able to final table this one!

Allen Kessler twittered that he missed his draws in a hand to lose a decent sized pot.

Shannon Elizabeth was seen laughing with her table mates.

The field is starting to get bigger. There are many packed tables now that were 7 handed before.

This event is new to the 2009 WSOP and looks like it is having success.

Players took a 20 minute break. They have just returned. They will play 8 levels tonight according to the tournament director.

When they return they will be at Level:

SB: 75

Players are still filing in.

They are on level 2 of the day:

SB 50
BB 100
Bets 100-200

The clock reads 385 entrants so far and more are coming in.

Vanessa Selbst, Alex Kravchenko and Shannon Elizabeth have arrived.

A pro packed table?: Seated together are Gavin Smith, Todd Brunson and Kristy Gazes.

Annie Duke is now in the field.

Yesterday's bracelet winner Matt Graham is in the field and is wearing his new shiny gold bracelet.

We saw Kelly Kim betting a flop to win a pot.

Not many hands have made it to a turn card that we have seen thus far.

Action continues.

Tuesday, 23rd of June 2009 06:00 PM

(Amanda Rosenfeld reporting)

Play began just a bit ago at around 5:25 p.m. local time.

Players are still arriving. Players we spotted are Kristy Gazes, Barry Greenstein and Allen Kessler.

Scott Clements is in the field. He has done well this year in Omaha events.

We saw Jerry Buss take down a pot. He busted from the Razz tournament earlier and is now giving Omaha a try.

Most of the professionals were concerned with Miami John Cernuto. He collapsed in the Razz tournament which is in front of the Omaha tournament in the Brazilia room.

Stay tuned as action is just underway....

Tuesday brings the start of another split game event in the form of a $2,500 buy-in Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better tournament. New to the 2009 World Series of Poker schedule, this event is likely to attract a field of well rounded pros from across the globe.
