Welcome back to the 2010 World Series of Poker!
Today marks Day 2 of Event #45: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em and it is sure to be an exciting one! Will "The Thrill" Failla is our chip leader entering the dat with 156,000 to his name. The plan is to play until a final table is reached, but our guess is we will finish around 3 a.m. regardless.
The cards will be in the air at 2:30 p.m. PST and we hope to see you then!

Unfortunately, we were unable to get our hands on a player list today, but a quick scour around the remaining field revealed a few intriguing match-ups. On one table, it's the young versus the wise as Andrew Lichtenberger takes on Tom Schneider, whilst just a couple of tables down it's youth squared as Jonathan Little sits directly to the right of British online pro Stephen Chidwick.
Perhaps the most eclectic line-up, however, is that of the far table, as silent assassin Ben Roberts shares a table with the loud, brash chip leader, Will Failla. Meanwhile, across the table lies a familiar face to sports fan (well, Dutch ones at least), with recently acquired PokerStars Sports Stars Pro Fatima Moreira de Melo looking prove her worth beyond the hockey turf.
Early action as the button raised to 1,200 and Zachary Clark made the call from the small blind. On the 
flop, both players checked, as well as the 
turn, only for Clark to lead out for 4,500 on the 
river. The button called with 
, but Clark had 
for flopped set. Clark now up to 60,000.
Andrew Lichtenberger was on the short stack entering the day and was willing to race for his tournament life in the first level of play. Unfortunately for Lichtenberger his ace-queen couldn't out run the wired sixes of an opponent and he is now eliminated.
The internet here at the Rio has been up and down all afternoon. We've gotten word that the situation is being worked on, and we're working to get as many posts and chip counts up despite the issue. Thanks for your patience.
On a 
flop, John Phan called a bet of 4,700, before raising his opponent's lead of 12,000 on the 
turn. His opponent moved all in and Phan called for his remaining 4,100. With 
versus 
, Phan was in better shape than a champion body builder, and after a harmless hit the river, he found himself up to that magic 100,000 mark.
The dealers are all standing and we are hand-for-hand...that can only mean one thing.
It's bubble time!
