There is a trio of interesting tables over in the Pavilion Room that is adjacent to the Brasilia Room from where we're based, two of which are heads-up and the other being contested three ways.
Amanda Musumeci holds a slight chip advantage over the flamboyant Italian Max Pescatori, but their match seems to be played to a small-ball style that Daniel Negreanu is famed for.
Next to their table, Allen Kessler and Galen Hall are locking horns, Hall has a solid advantage there, but again neither player is giving much away.
A couple of feet away from those two tables is one that is the home to Greg Merson, Brandon Meyers and Japan's Yosuke Sekiya, the latter being the shortest stack and in need of a double up sooner rather than later.

The 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Greg Merson is safely through to Day 2 in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout.
Merson sent Brandon Meyers to the sidelines to give himself a massive chip advantage over Yosuke Sekiya. In the penultimate hand, Sekiya moved all-in for 2,500 chips (around eight big blinds) and Merson contemplated calling for a few moments before deciding against it.
The next hand, Merson set Sekiya all in and Sekiya called.
Sekiya: 
Merson: 
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Sekiya held a narrow 57.34% to 42.14% equity advantage over the former world champion, which increased to almost 62% when the 
flop came into view. The turn was a game changer as the 
improved Merson to a straight and left Sekiya needing a king to win or an eight to split the pot. The river was the 
, sending Sekiya to the rail and Merson to the next round.

Tim Reilly and Konstantin Puchkov are butting heads over in Bronze section in the final stages of their table. Reilly has a 23,000 to 13,000 lead over his Russian opponent, a lead that was cut slightly because of the following hand.
On a 
flop, Puchkov checked to Reilly who fired a bet of 550. Puchkov called.
Both players checked the 
turn, but Puchkov came out betting on the 
river and Reilly wasn't willing to commit more chips in the pot and he flicked his cards back to the dealer.
