We've arrived at the first break on Day 1b of the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event, and there have already been several eliminations.

The first came at the hands of Derrik Smith, who six-bet shoved over Mark Hodos with pocket {a-}{a-}. Hodos had {k-}{k-}, and the aces held up.

Huck Seed was faced with an all-in bet from Yang Bian on a board of {4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, and Seed, thinking they were chopping, called with the nuts; {j-Spades}{10-Spades}. Seed, winner of the 1996 Main Event, thought he was getting freerolled by {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, but Bian was drawing dead with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for just top pair.

Seed is among our chip leaders with around double the starting stack.

Dan Shak took his leave after being crippled with {a-}{k-} against the {a-}{a-} of an opponent. He was later eliminated with pocket jacks against {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The players are on break for 20 minutes - smoke 'em if you got 'em!
