Greg Mueller opened to 2,300, and Donnacha O'Dea shoved all in for 14,800. Action folded back to Mueller.
"I don't think I can fold," he said. "How much is it?"
Given the count, he continued to think. "I just have a feeling I'm way behind."
Mueller called and was pleased to see it was a race.
Mueller: 
O'Dea: 
O'Dea's eights held as the board ran out 
, dodging a gutterball that Mueller picked up on the turn.
O'Dea is an old-school Irish poker legend, eighth on the all-time tournament money winner list from the country. He's been playing at the World Series of Poker since the early 1980s, and he has one bracelet win and plenty of other cashes. His son, Eoghan, made the November Nine in 2011.

Phil Hellmuth's quest for a 14th bracelet will have to wait until the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific in October, as "The Poker Brat" has been eliminated in the latter stages of Day 2c.
Hellmuth was done in by two hands, the first of which was recapped to us by tablemate Matt Waxman.
The player in the cutoff opened, Hellmuth three-bet from the small blind, the player in the cutoff four-bet to 13,100 and Hellmuth called to see a flop of 
. Hellmuth checked, his opponent bet 8,500, Hellmuth check-raised to 22,000 and his opponent called to see the 
turn, which both players checked. The 
river completed the board and Hellmuth bet 33,000. His opponent raised to effectively 45,000 and Hellmuth folded after about 45 seconds.
Down to about 12,000, Hellmuth got his last 12 big blinds in with 
, but failed to improve against 
.

Action folded to Cindy Kerslake on the button and she raised to 2,300. Todd Anderson folded from the small blind, and then Jonas Kronwitter pushed back with a three-bet to 6,100 from the big. Kerslake wasted little time in moving all in for roughly 25,000 and Kronwitter called her.
"First time I've been all-in, too," Kerslake said upon discovering she was in a race situation.
Kerslake:
Kronwitter:
The 
flop was no help to Kerslake, but she called for a spade to keep the runner-runner hope alive. The dealer failed to oblige, though, and instead burned and turned the . That meant Kerslake needed either an ace or king on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the 
blanked.

When we arrived at Table 353, Daniel Alonso was all in and at risk for around 30,000 on a flop of . Derek Lerner had him at risk, and the hands were opened.
Alonso:
Lerner: 
Lerner dodged diamonds, deuces, and jacks as the turn and river bricked , respectively, and Alonso was eliminated. After the hand, the dealer was talking over her shoulder with one of her coworkers and didn't push all of Alonso's stack to Lerner, so he reached across the table and grabbed the stack with his hand.
Haralabos Voulgaris thought this was amusing, as was Lerner's constant table talk.
"I wish I could block people in real life like I do on Twitter," Voulgaris said, smiling.
"You're just saying that because he's here," Lerner said, referring to our PokerNews reporter. "We've been bonding."
Voulgaris could only laugh at the statement, saying he was raising the volume in his headphones in order to block out Lerner.

While getting some counts from the Brasilia Silver section, our reporter learned what Barry Greenstein's three favorite movies are (*cue drumroll*):
We also learned that he had bacon juice for breakfast. Greenstein was humoring a player at the table who said her friends had texted her and wanted to know the answers to those questions. He kindly obliged with answers.
Onto the chip counts:
