A quarter of an hour of the first level after restart has seen shouts of "seat open" echoing around the Pavillion Room. Among the early exiters:

Robert Stuve three-bet all in for 31,000 preflop. Initial raiser Brett Johnson made the call and found himself dominating with vs. Stuve's ; no change with the board.

Perry Kanin bust in very similar circumstances, all in with a three-bet preflop (35,800 over the open of 4,000) holding which ran into the of Thomas Floyd Haigler.

Robert Sun's last 27,000 was three-bet all in over an open from Robert Suer, again the short stack in trouble with a dominated pair, sixes vs. tens. The latter held. At least two tables have broken already.
