When you late register an event you have to get your chips in quick. Jason Mercier did just that but unfortunately, six big bets come and go pretty quick. Mercier got his stack in the middle of an Omaha Hi-Lo pot with two kings but couldn't find any help on a board and ran into an opponents two aces.

Omaha Hi-Lo
"You would've got more bets in if you bet the turn," Chris George said to Josh Arieh before the hand started.
"I saved myself 2,000 by playing bad then," Arieh said.
After their brief encounter a player raised from under the gun. Arieh called on the button and George made it three bets from the big blind. The under the gun raiser and Arieh both called.
The flop was and George bet. The under the gun player and Arieh both called.
On the turn George paused briefly.
"Oh come on," Arieh said. "Just steam it off."
"Well, ok," George said, then bet. The under the gun player called. Arieh thought about calling for a second.
"That would be a good card to raise," George said.
"Well, I'm getting 8-1," Arieh responded, then called.
On the George bet again. The under the gun player folded.
"Nice call, come on," George joked to Arieh. "Your six might be good."
Arieh finally decided to call. George showed and Arieh mucked.
"Well, it's only money," Arieh said.
This spurred an echo of 'No it's not!' from the table.
"Wait yeah that's right," Arieh said. "It says right on the chip, 'No cash value.'"

Much like Jason Mercier, Ben Yu registered for the tournament late into day one and has only a small number of big bets. We caught up to him on sixth street moving all in against Anthony Zinno and one other player.

Yu moved in on sixth and was called by Zinno and one other player. On seventh, action went check, check.
Yu showed for a seventy-six low. The other player shwoed for aces up and that was good as Zinno's hand was mucked. Yu chopped the pot with the other player and was able to gain a little traction late here on day 1.

The flop was and Hellmuth bet. The early position limper called. Arieh folded but George called.
The turn was the and Hellmuth peeked as his cards, then bet again. Only George called this time.
On the river Hellmuth bet one more time. George thought about it, then called.
"Two pair," Hellmuth said. George immediately showed for two pair, then his as well.
Hellmuth frustratedly picked up his cards and held them in his hand.
"Ace king jack?" Hellmuth asked. "Really?"
"It was double suited," George said, shrugging.
Hellmuth showed his , then his , then mucked his hand, awarding the pot to George.
