"That's how you do it, from CL to out," Iraj Parvizi said on his way out when he spoke with James Calderaro. Both had shared a table on Day 1 the previous year, Parvizi ended up as the chip leader while Calderaro was a big stack, and both were on a roller coaster ride throughout the day. Calderaro ended up winning the event and his first WSOP bracelet.

"I had a straight, the other guy had a higher straight, then a few other hands ... I gonna have some fun in the casino now," Parvizi said before leaving the tournament area.

On Parvizi's former table, several players chipped up as a result and one of them is George Wolff. "He was even up to 650,000," Wolff added.

New additions to the field include Adam Owen, Scotty Nguyen and Daniel Negreanu, further assorted counts can be found below.
