Preflop, Todd Brunson limps in from the small blind, and a player in the big blind raises to 4,000. Brunson reraises to 25,000 and the player calls. That player thinks it's an all-in situation and turns over his accidentally.
On the flop, Brunson bets 5,800 all in with the queens showing and the opponent calls. Brunson shows for bottom pair and the bluff, and spikes another deuce on the river. Brunson's at 65,000.

Vanessa Rousso
Things seemed to be going well for Vanessa Rousso today, as she'd built herself an above-average-sized chip stack and maintained it for much of the day. But then it happened . . . again.
According to Rousso, this was the fourth time during this WSOP that she was eliminated from a tournament in a set-over-set situation. This time around, the board read when all the money went in. Rousso held pocket fives, while her opponent was sitting on pocket queens. The turn and river blanked out and Rousso, visibly upset, graciously exited the tournament area a good sport, despite her poor fortune.
Frank Schram, the winner of the hand, surged toward the top of the leader board following the hand, and now has just over 161,000 in chips.

With the increase in blinds and antes, the echoes of: "Seat open, table..." and, "All in and a call on table ..." are becoming more and more frequent. With just under 40 minutes of play remaining and Day 2b a couple days away, it's quite possible that many of the short stacks are looking to double-up or bust trying.

It is the ESPN Feature Table's turn to break, but Chris Moneymaker is staying where he is. Here's exactly what's happening and the reasoning behind it:
Harrah's leaves Moneymaker there, and the players at his new table (based on the random seat card he draws) are moved to the ESPN Feature Table.
Think of it like this: The ESPN Feature Table breaks, and everyone is randomly assigned to an open seat. Then ESPN has to choose a new featured table. They decide to choose the one that Chris Moneymaker has moved to.
In this case, Moneymaker happened to be "moved" to a table also featuring Humberto Brenes. The next 44 minutes ought to be very interesting.
