Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul was in action on day 1c of the 2015 World Series of Poker $10,000 buy-in main event on Tuesday. Despite his fame on TV, at the Rio he was just one out of a sea of poker players competing for the top prize in the game’s longest and most grueling tournament.

Paul was at the Rio last year during the WSOP, but played a lower buy-in daily tournament.

Like last year, Paul is declining media interviews and instead focusing on poker.

The 35-year-old has never cashed at the WSOP.

Tuesday was the last of three starting flights for poker’s most prestigious tournament. 741 players entered on day 1a and 1,716 on day 1b. Day 1c will need 4,226 players in order to match last year’s 6,683 entries. Final numbers should be released later today.

Though there hasn’t been any Bryan Cranston sightings at the Rio, or anyone else from Breaking Bad for that matter, there was a Walter White who played earlier.
