Beth Peck is one of the early leaders in the Onnit Labs Last Sticker Standing promotion. We just witnessed Peck and three other players see a flop of 
. The first player to act bet 1,000, and Peck quickly raised to 2,500. Everyone else folded, and Peck scooped the pot to boost her stack close to 12,000.
Peck can win $750 if she outlasts the other women wearing an Onnit Labs patch today. She's well on her way!

Vanessa Selbst has been battling with a short stack for much of the day thus far, and just now was all in and at risk again. Not just to bust the tournament, but for much more (or so she believed).
Having committed the last of her chips on a 
flop with 
, Selbst needed to catch a nine, ten, or jack versus an opponent who'd called her with 
.
"If I bust, I have to sing a song in front of a lot of people," Selbst explained. When pressed for details, she pointed out how she, Vanessa Rousso, and Maria Ho have a last-longer bet between them. It sounded as though the first of the group to bust would have to write and perform a song "in front of 200 people."
"I've never cared so much about surviving a $1K in my life," Selbst said, and the table laughed in response.
The turn brought the 
, only increasing Selbst's worry. Then with great drama, the dealer delivered the river... the 
! "Ohhhh," said the table. "Whew," said Selbst.
We're not entirely sure about the terms of the bet, but Selbst probably isn't aware that Vanessa Rousso has in fact busted the event, having become short-stacked on gone out during this level.
Something tells us Rousso isn't feeling so much anxiety about busting, though, according to her Twitter feed:
VanessaRousso Vanessa Rousso So my strategy to get drunk and crush the ladies event only half succeeded!! ;) #drunkandbusto http://t.co/OGFHd4gX

The "half succeeded" refers to Rousso's former table mate, Danielle Anderson, who continues to keep her seat after the earlier partying.

Gertrude Schimmel limped in from middle position, and it folded around to the big blind who checked. Both checked the 
flop and turn. When the river brought the 
, the player in the big blind bet 300, and after holding up her cards to recheck them, Schimmel made the call.
Schimmel held 
for the straight, better than the 
of her opponent, and she claimed the small pot.
Schimmel held up her cards because her eyesight isn't so good. Nor is her hearing. But her poker skills are spot on, as the 94-year-old has been playing the game well over 50 years.
Schimmel is a retired deputy chief inspector of the New York Police Department who used to play at the WSOP regularly. She's cashed five times in the ladies event in the past, including final tabling in 1998 when she finished fourth.
Her niece is here assisting Schimmel a bit with reading the board and following the action. She told us how Schimmel hadn't played at the WSOP in a while, but this year had an idea she wanted to come back again and give it another go.
She also explained how her best game is seven-card stud — which used to be the game here in the ladies event up until 2000. But Schimmel seems to be holding her own just fine thus far in our no-limit hold'em tournament.

After having her stack crippled, PokerNews' own Danielle Barille lost a flip and the rest of her stack.
A player in middle position raised to 450 and action folded around to Barille, who shoved for 1,450. The original raiser called, and the cards went on their backs:
Barille:
Seat 2: 
The board rolled out 
and Barille's pair of tens finished second best.

Jackie Helman is one of several players in today's event participating in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Standing promotion. Players sporting Onnit stickers are not only competing against the rest of the field, but each other, too, with the one lasting the longest winning a cool $750.
Helman maintained her starting stack for the first couple of levels. Just now she was involved in a hand in which she bet from late position following a 
flop and got a caller in her opponent on the button. There was about 1,800 in the middle, then, when the turn brought the 
. This time Helman checked, and when her opponent fired a bet 900, Helman folded, ensuring she's going to be lasting longer.
