As we passed by the table featuring former chipleader Leon Tsoukernik, Max Silver, and Talal Shakerchi, it appears the chips have made their way around the table.
Silver looks to be the new tournament chip leader and, by the size of the chunk missing from Tsoukernik's stack, it is safe to say that is where Silver's new additions came from.
On the river of a 
board, Mack Lee bet 24,000 and Millard Hale tossed in a single T$25,000 chip for the call. Lee turned over 
for a full house. Hale mucked and dropped to around 80,000. Brandon Shack-Harris on the same table has even less chips than that while Vitaliy Lunkin managed to build his stack early on.
One table over, the three-way flop of 
saw a bet of 2,500 by Warwick Mirzikinian in the big blind and Micah Smith called. Quan Zhou folded on the button. The turn was checked by Mirzikinian and Smith before the former bet the 
river for 3,000. Smith called and was shown 
for a six-high straight by Mirzikinian.
"See what happens when you attack my big bling? The small blind is okay, but leave my big blind alone," Mirzikinian added while raking in the pot. Ben Tollerne could only smile, having recently sat down in the three seat.
Niveau: 2
Blinds: 200/400

Among those to recently sit down with a fresh stack was also 2016 November Niner Cliff Josephy, along with Yevgeniy Timoshenko and Ben Tollerene.
Nadar Kakhmazov opened to 4,450 and got calls from Leon Tsoukernik, a player in early position, and Max Silver.
The flop was 
and Tsoukernik led, betting pot. The bet was 19,200 and Silver called. Kakhmazov three-bet pot, which put him all in for about 97,000.
Tsoukernik four-bet jammed all in and Silver leaned back, saying, "I might need a while guys."
A crowd began to gather as Silver examined Tsoukernik's stack, realizing he was covered. "I'm the chipleader, so it doesn't matter what happens. I'm still in," Tsoukernik told the crowd that had gathered around the table.
After a few moments, Silver folded.
Kakhmazov: 
Tsoukernik: 
Tsoukernik was in the lead and held through the turn and river — — improving to a straight and sending Kakhmazov to the rail moments after he took his seat.
Alexandru Papazian is the first Romanian to win a WSOP bracelet, doing so in the $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed. Julia Lee asks Alexandru about his win and supporting rail.
On the three-way turn reading 
, Vivian Saliba bet 3,650 from the small blind and Roberto Romanello called in the big blind, while Hon Cheong Lee on the button folded. The river completed the board and Saliba checked. Romanello bet 9,000 and Saliba quickly tossed in a single chip for the call.
Romanello sent his cards into the muck and he forfeited the pot. Saliba didn't have to show her cards in order to claim the pot.
Among those to take their seats as of lately was also two-time WSOP bracelet winner Brandon Shack-Harris and five-time WSOP champion and 2016 WSOP player of the year Jason Mercier. According to the tournament screens, there are 68 entries midway through level one and that number is guaranteed to increase over the next few hours.
A fairly big pot had emerged by the 
turn and John O'Shea bet 5,100 from the hijack. His sole remaining opponent, Alexey Rybin, called from one seat over in the cutoff, and the 
fell on the river. O'Shea slowed down and checked while Rybin bet 15,000.
That was good enough to win the hand without showdown, as O'Shea sent his cards into the muck and took an early hit to his stack.
Majid Yahyaei raised to 700 and picked up three callers including Max Silver on the button, the small blind, and King's Casino Rozvadov owner Leon Tsoukernik in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Tsoukernik bet 2,300, which only Yahyaei called.
After the turn, Tsoukernik checked and Yahyaei bet 4,500 to force a fold from Tsoukernik.
