I caught this hand on the turn, with about 20k already in the pot and Peter Jepsen having checked to opponent Waltersson. He bet 10k, and Jepsen considered for a while before calling.
Board: ....
Now Jepsen checked again, and Waltersson put the rest in - about 17k into a pot of 40k. Now a pause so long I could see their respective beards grow, before Jepsen made the call and was shown by Waltersson, who gladly took the pot as the other hand was mucked before the TV cameras could congregate.

Johnny Lodden, building a stack. Again.
One table in particular has been added to in such a way as the early tables have broken that it virtually guarantees to have something interesting going on. Just now, for example, I caught Nicolas Levi contemplating a 25k bet from Johnny Lodden on the flop with the board reading . This was around a pot sized bet - some raising had clearly occurred preflop. Levi thought for a while before passing, saying, "Good play," to his opponent.
That table, and its chips:
Andreas Pournaras -- 57,600
Johnny Lodden -- 65,000
Shaun Needham -- 14,450
Nicolas Levi -- 35,000
Shaun Deeb -- 73,000
Brendan Walls -- 22,000
Erik Joergensen -- 31,375
Martin Johnson -- 35,400
Dorte Rud Jager -- 525 (another non-appearance)

If alarm bells were ever to ring in someone's head that perhaps their hand wasn't ahead then this would be it, Dominic Kay's initial 2,025 raise being re-raised, first by Justin Bonomo to 5,125k and then re-re-raised by Ake Karlsson all-in for 13,350.
After Dominic had made the heard-a-million-times-before comment of "I'm going to let you two fight it out," Justin called in a flash, confidently turning over . However, the realisation suddenly set in that he was in deep dog excretion when Karlsson revealed the Bullets (pow, pow), which inevitably held up on the .
So, as Karlsson doubles up, we lose ZeeJustin, but rumour has it that he has another seat downstairs.

In case you were wondering how long it would take for your stack to be blinded off in the WSOPE Main Event without playing a hand, the answer is about five levels.
Gary Conlon, a freeroll winner on Betfair.com never showed up to play the Main Event, and his stack was just blinded off over on Table 11. The same is about to be true of Dorte Rud Jager's three remaining green chips, which are about to be anted off on Table 5.

Facing off with Jamie Gold, Peter Andreas moved all-in on the turn with the board reading . "I think I got this one," said Gold, as he counted out his chips and quickly made the call, tabling . Andreas was drawing dead, the meaningless falling on the river, and he bid a hasty exit.

WSOPE bracelet winner Dario Alioto is eliminated from the TV table
Over at the featured TV table, WSOPE PLO bracelet winner Dario Alioto was eliminated. He raised from the cut off for 6,600. Adam Junglen raised him all in from the small blind (for 10,500 total). Alioto called.
Junglen:

"That means a nine will come on the river," said Daniel Negreanu.
The flop was . The turn was the and the river was the . Alioto was eliminated and Junglen took down the pot.
Junglen increased his stack to over 82,000. He's among the chipleaders.

Shortstack Achilleas Kallakis just moved in under the gun blind. Around 10k in his stack, and a decision for big blind Mads Andersen. He thought for a while before folding, showing K-7. Achilleas turned over the and then slowly the .
It looks like a very small stack has gone unclaimed today, with the chips almost blinded to the felt as Level One draws to a close. The seating plan lists one Gary Conlon as the unfortunate no-show whose WSOPE is also about to come to an end blind.

It seems that the security guard on the door of the BetFair players lounge is not a poker fan. The legendary Johnny Chan just went to walk in there and was met with a stern: "Excuse me Sir, you are not allowed in this area."
