Level 1 Update

 So far, no eliminations in the first level.  All 58 origianl players remain and it looks like tournamnet officials are adding some late arrivals.  We’re not sure who’s going to be joining action in the felt, but players spotted so far are Freddy Deeb, Shaun Deeb, Noah Schwartz, Cornel Andrew Cimpan, Alec Torelli, and recent two-time bracelet winner, Greg "FBT" Mueller.

The big stack still appears to be Vadim Tincher, currently with 85,000.

The WSOP is still a hot topic of conversation at many of the tables.  Right before players took their first 15-minute break of the day, Kevin O’Donnel laments about his Series, telling not only did he hold pocket kings in the final hand of his Main Event, but also busted with cowboys two other times this summer.
