Returning from a break in the 1.5k NL WSOP Event #49, Vivek “psyduck” Rajkumar (pictured right) encountered a problem he’d never faced when playing online.

Thanks to hundreds of people mixing in with a monotone grid of tables, Rajkumar was unable to find his seat as the tournament was about to start.

“I’m such a clown,” Rajkumar said. “I’m a world class clown,” he told P5’s as he was having fun with the situation.

As Rajkumar was wondering around the Amazon Room one of his tablemates waved him over. Then Rajkumar had to decided which stack to sit in front of as two stacks of chips remained vacant next to each other where Rajkumar was seated. They figured it out rather quickly as Rajkumar got a little ribbing from the table as the tournament was underway.

Rajkumar didn’t have nearly as hard a time doubling his 16k stack minutes later when he 3-bet his opponent with pocket jacks and his opponent called and moved all-in on a 10-10-7 flop. Rajkumar’s hand held up against his opponents ace-high as his stack shot up to 30k.

William “gptbigguy” Looper has maintained his 36k stack amid a home-game environment with Minh “The Master” Nguyen sitting to his immediate left. Nguyen had been cracking jokes and cackling loudly following the break and was last seen taking shots with some people at the table. Although he was enjoying the atmostphere, Looper didn’t succumb to the party environment.

“No shots for me just yet,” Looper said. “I’ve got to keep my concentration level.”

Here’s a list of other notable chip stacks in Level 7 with blinds at 300-600-75 and the average stack at 17k. There are 460 of the initial 2,718 players left.

Greg “FBT” Mueller - 50k

Andy Black - 35k

David Pham - 28k

Chris “sooooted” Vaughn - 16k

Eugene Todd - 16k

Jonathan “FieryJustice” Little - 15k

Jon “pokertrip” Friedberg - 15k

Owen “ocrowe” Crowe - 14k

J.C. Tran - 12k

Hevad Khan - 8k

In the $2K No Limit Hold Em event Dan “Wretchy” Martin recently doubled up when a player raised to 18K and Martin then reraised to 43K with blinds at 3k-6k and a 500 ante.  The first player then moved all-in, forcing Dan to a decision for his remaining 80K.  Luckily for Martin, the decision was pretty simple and he quickly made the call with AA.  The other player showed KK and when the cards ran out 6434J Dan’s stack shot up to 240K.  Martin told Pocket Fives he picked up pocket queens the very next hand and picked up another pot after reraising pre-flop.  He now sits with 300K.
