Things on the tournament floor are constantly changing from hand to hand and we know you want every single piece of information you can handle.

WSOP Event #4 runner-up Maria Ho has lost a pot to TJ Zumbusch on Table #29, but she is still on 4,900 as the tables continue to fill up here in the Pavillion Room.
The action folded to Ho, who raised to 75 from the hijack position. Zumbusch reraised to 175 from the small blind and Ho called, so off they went heads up to the flop of .
Zumbusch led out for 225 and Ho called. Then she called Zumbusch's opening bet of 250 on the turn of the before folding after Zumbusch shot out another 700 on the river. Zumbusch is now up to 5,800 in chips.
This tournament has so many entries that they can't fit everyone in the expansive Pavilion Room. We just walked over to the Orange Section of the Amazon Room, and here's who we saw shuffling chips:
Antonio Esfandiari and Vanessa Selbst (same table)
Ali Eslami
Recent bracelet winner Allen Bari
Sam Stein
Allen Cunningham
Jonathan Jaffe and Andrew Lichtenberger (same table)
Dani Stern
Praz Bansi
Tom Marchese
Chris Oliver
Since most of the tournament is in the Pavilion room, that is where our main focus will be, but we will try to give you guys updates from the Orange Section as much as we can.
We've just received word from the floor that 2008 WSOP Main Event champion Jerry Yang was busted at the hands of Justin Kindred.
As our photographer Joe Giron recalled, Yang moved the last of his money in with but lost the flip for his tournament life against Kindred's . And that, as they, say, was that. Props though to Mr. Giron - with the massive grind that our team is in for today, it's great to see all hands on deck!
Two tables just got more interesting as players late registered. Greg Raymer's table now has Matt Affleck in the six seat, and Lex Veldhuis welcomed Brandon Cantu to his table. Given that all four players have been known to pull a bluff or two in their time, it should be very interesting to keep an eye on those tables.
When we arrived at the table, the board read with about 2,000 chips in the middle. Chris Oliver, who placed second at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure this year, fired a bet of 575. His opponent tanked for a couple of minutes and then gave it up. Oliver showed the and his opponent commented, "That's why you're so good."
