Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
The players are now on a 90-minute dinner break.
Schleger Slips
Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
Preflop action had left two players, Shane "Shaniac" Schleger in the big blind and his opponent on the button, to see the flop come 
. Schleger led for 2,300, and his opponent called. The turn brought the 
, and this time Schleger checked. His opponent bet 3,700, and Schleger called.
The river brought the 
and another check from Schleger. This time his opponent bet 11,200 and Schleger called once more. His opponent showed 
-- he'd rivered sixes full of eights -- and Schleger mucked.
Shaniac falls back to 15,300 after that one.
Tilly Takes a Few
Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
Jennifer Tilly has had a relatively successful first five-and-a-half levels today, having built her starting stack of 15,000 up over 50,000. She'd slipped back a touch when the following hand took place.
Tilly opened with a raise to 775 from the cutoff, and a short-stacked player on the button called the raise. The small blind then made it 3,000 to go, forcing out the BB. Tilly sat quietly for a moment, looking through her mirrored sunglasses, then made the call. The short stack got out of the way.
The flop came 
. The small blind checked, and Tilly took that as an invitation to bet 4,000. Her opponent thought about a half-minute, then let his hand go.
Tilly is now back to about 45,000 as we approach the dinner break.
Duvall Takes a Small Hit
Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
We caught action between Veronica Duvall and one other player on the flop with 
showing. Duvall checked and the player from the button bet 1,825. Duvall raised to 4,100 and her opponent made the call.
The 
hit on the turn and both players checked. The river brought the 
and Duvall checked. Her opponent bet 3,350 and Duvall called. Her opponent turned over 
to take down the pot.
Selbst Busts Opponent
With the board reading 
, Vanessa Selbst forced an opponent all in, and they called.
Selbst: 
Opponent: 
Selbst had her opponent crushed, and just for kicks she filled up after the 
turned. The 
on the river was irrelevant, Selbst's opponent hit the rail, and the PokerStars Team Pro raked in the pot to push her stack above 60,000 chips.

Clock!
Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
When we walked by Table 17, the players were discussing the idea of a timer or shot clock.
"They need to have a clock for everyone," Ludovic Lacay professed. "Especially on Day 1's."
"They take enough juice that we should all be able to have our own timers," Kevin Saul added. "We should all get five minutes, then after dinner we get another two, and then they add more on Day 2."
"When would the timer start?" Carter King asked.
"After 30 seconds," Lacay answered.
"I think it should start right away," Isaac Haxton interjected. "And we should get like 15 to 20 minutes."
A shot clock was used at the 2011 Aussie Millions, and it was going to be used for the now defunct Onyx Cup Series. A handful of players, including the aforementioned group and Tom Dwan, are in favor of a time limit because it would increase the amount of hands played per hour and regulate the pace of play.
Nobody likes a professional tanker, especially this early in a tournament, so perhaps instituting a shot clock would be a good for the WSOP.
Affleck Adds to Stack
Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante
A player in late position raised to 725, the small blind reraised to 2,100, and Matt Affleck, sitting in the big blind, leaned forward in his Seattle Sonics jersey to study the situation. After a few seconds he called the reraise, and with a shrug the original raiser called as well.
The flop came a coordinated 
and the small blind checked. Affleck set out a bet of 3,800, and both of his opponents folded without much ceremony.
Affleck has built up a sizable stack this afternoon, one of the bigger ones we're seeing. He's now closing in on 70,000.
Crane Crushed
Livello 6
: 150/300, 25 ante

and was up against an opponent's 
. The board came 
, and Crane became another Level 6 elimination.
