Jason Wheeler raised to 1,700 from the button, the small blind folded, but the big blind sat pondering his options.
He pondered them for more than two minutes before Wheeler called the clock on his opponent. The floor came to the table and as the countdown from 10 seconds began, the big blind folded and Wheeler picked up the pot.
We caught a hand that had finished seconds before we arrived that resulted in Faraz Jaka tripling up to 21,000.
Jaka had been all-in with pocket tens against aces and an unknown hand and proceeded to flop a set. That set held and Jaka's stack went from being short to being average.
Ari Engel is now sat with 71,000 as the money bubble approaches and is set up nicely for a very deep run in this tournament.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Andrew Frankenberger is nursing a 2,200 stack with 203 players remaining and 198 being paid!
Kevin Allen has busted 20 places short of the money after back-to-back hands rid him of his chips.
Bust 20 off the money, call 13 big shove with AJ vs AK, then 3 bet shove last 13 bigs from late open with AJh vs KK, another fun dayFollow @GamblingPays
Dennis Phillips got his last 6,000 in and a player in the blind made the call. Phillips showed 
and was behind the 
of his opponent. The board ran out 
and Phillips was eliminated.
Ever the gentleman, Phillips shared with us his demise on the way out. He said that he played in four of six hands he was dealt at that table. In back-to-back hands, he couldn't catch up to pocket pairs with king-jack suited and ace-king. Additionally, he couldn't find help for his ace-queen and folded to a post-flop shove. Then, the bust out hand as reported above.
Dann Williams, known as "s4ooter" in British online poker circles, has busted out of this $1,000 event ever-so-close to the money and took to Twitter to inform his legion of friends.
We mentioned earlier that a large pot could be brewing between Arnaud Mattern and Sunny Chattha and although it hasn't quite happened yet, it is surely only a matter of time before it does.
Chattha raised from under the gun to 1,700 and Mattern was next to act. Mattern reraised to 4,000 and Chattha let his hand go.
A couple of hands later Chattha had the button and raised to 1,700 when first to act. Mattern put out a slightly larger three-bet of a shade over 5,000 and again Chattha relinquished his hand.
Updated counts as the money bubble is approached.
The cards are back in the air and there they will remain for the final two hour-long levels of the first day of play. Currently, there are 261 players in the hunt for the $306,634 first place prize, which makes reaching the money places — set at 198 — quite likely before play ends. Stay tuned.
