Bill Scara opened up the preflop action with a raise to 1,400. A player in middle position reraised to 3,200 and Peyser Irving reraised to 8,000. Scara folded and the player in middle position tanked for a while and folded after stating that he "must have aces."
Irving showed pocket kings and took down the pot.
Earlier in the day a delightful lady and her daughter were spotted cheering on their horse in the Seniors Championship, one Gregory Webb of San Diego, California. The women were heard asking each other if the green 25 denomination chips were the highest, or if it was the other way around. After we let them know the score, Webb's family took the time to let us know a little bit about him, including the fact that he cashed in this event last year, finishing in 191st place.
Webb's wife knew the number by heart, and we could tell that during the last year Gregory had made sure she knew just how far he had made it at the WSOP.
With a stack of around 14,000 chips at the time, Webb appears to be following his 2010 performance with another admirable showing, and this time he will be looking to go 190 spots further en route to capturing the gold bracelet.
At the self-proclaimed "most entertaining table in the room," we caught up with a player currently in ownership of a stack equaling more than 40,000.
Anthony Vidmer was holding court over his castle of chips and laughing along with his fellow players. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the banter and when we asked for Vidmer's chip count, his tablemates made sure that we knew exactly how he earned those chips.
"Make sure you tell the world he got all that money with pocket fours... twice!" said the player in the next seat, while Vidmer tried in vain to get an accurate chip count for us. We asked Vidmer if this tale was true and he simply pointed to the back of his customized #44 football jersey, telling us "Yep. Flopped a set both times too!"
His jersey already adorned with his last name, Anthony Vidmer can now say that it features his favorite poker hand as well.
A player in middle position raised to 600 and Max Stern called from the cutoff. The blinds came along as well.
The flop came 
and action checked around to the original raiser, who c-bet for 2,000. Stern raised to 6,000 and the blinds folded. Stern's opponent announced she was all-in and Stern snap-called for his remaining 14,000.

Opponent: 
Stern was in excellent shape to double up after the 
fell on the turn. But a cruel river brought the 
, pairing Stern's opponent and sending the three-time bracelet winner to the rail.
Players are now on a 20-minute break so tournament staff can color up the chips. When we return we will play one more level to end the day.
During the last hour we were questioned briefly by casino security personnel regarding the case of a missing scooter. Apparently a player in the Seniors Championship parked his scooter nearby while competing in the event, and in the ultimate of bad beats, he hit the rail to discover somebody had made off with his ride.
While this may be simply a mix-up, with one player confusing their vehicle with another, the security guards here at the Rio were taking the matter seriously. They have begun their investigation with the age-old method of retracing the victim's steps, and at the pace we last saw them walking, the search for the missing scooter may go on long into the night.
Livello: 10
Bui: 400/800
Ante: 100
If you joined us earlier today you heard Tim Peters talk about the Seniors event on our podcast. We caught up him when he moved all in preflop with 
for over 10,000 against a player's 
.
The board ran out 
.
Peters now sits with 29,000 in chips.
We passed by Susie Isaacs' table and noticed that her stack looked virtually identical after about an hour of play. Sure enough, the former bracelet winner is sitting with 24,200 chips and with the blinds climbing rapidly, her once commanding chip stack is now good for just 30 big blinds.
