Tuesday, 10th of June 2008 11:00 PM Michael Binger shoved from the button and Tom Dwan looked him up from the big blind. Michael tossed two cards while Tom stood pat on a Queen.

Play will resume at about 11:10pm.
Tuesday, 10th of June 2008 10:00 PM Chris Ferguson got all in against Tom Dwan, who stood pat. Chris drew one and Tom showed his 98. Chris squeezed for all his might, but could not turn that Queen into wine. Jesus departed in 18th place, just 4 short of the money. Doyle Brunson lost a big pot to Tom Schneider and was left with only 20k in chips. He then doubled that through Nikolay Evdakov. Michael Binger was all in against Nick Schulman, who stood pat on his T8. Nick drew one and came up with a T7, good for the double. Yan Chen doubled through TonyG, standing pat while Tony drew one.

Yan looked at his drawn card, tossed his hand to the muck, and headed for the rail in 16th place. With 15 remaining, play went to hand-for-hand until the money bubble burst. TonyG moved in for 45,500 over the top of Nick Schulman's opening raise of 17k. After some thought, Nick let it go. Dario Alioto shoved for 55,500 from the button and Jeffrey Lisandro called from the big blind. Each drew one and Jeffrey was drawing to 7632 and caught an Ace. Dario held 7842 and would double with anything but a pair or an Ace. He caught a Ten and doubled through. Doyle Brunson moved his short-stack in and got called by Tom Schneider. Both rapped pat and Doyle showed a T8 which was notched by Tom's 98. That makes Texas Dolly today's bubble boy, finishing 15th. With 14 players remaining, all in the money, they are moving to the final two tables and taking a short break.

With 21 players remaining, they have redrawn seats and moved to three tables (playing 7-handed). Only 14 will get paid, so seven more must go home with zip.
Tuesday, 10th of June 2008 06:00 PM Play resumed after the break at about 5:20pm with Level 11: Antes of 700, Blinds of 1,500/3k. Howard Lederer called Tom Dwan's raise, which put him all-in. Tom stood pat and Howard took one. Tom tabled his 86542. Howard was drawing to a 7642 and would need a 5 or 3 to survive, but he paired his deuce and was felted. Carlos Mortensen was again in a pot with Jim Bechtel. Both players drew one and Carlos fired 10k without looking at his card. Jim called and Carlos tabled an 85. Jim mucked and Carlos continues his comeback.

Both took one card, but Erick's was better -- he made a 96 while Steve caught an Ace and hit the rail. Layne Flack got in again, this time against Jon Turner. Layne stood pat while Jon drew one, catching a Jack. Layne showed a T9 to double up. Jon then got all in against Michael Binger and was eliminated. Mark Dickstein got all in against Doyle Brunson, standing pat on a 98 while Doyle drew one. It apparently was a bad one as Doyle mucked and Mark doubled up. In a three-way, Michael Mizrachi and Phil Galfond were all in against Layne Flack. The Grinder drew two while the other guys only took one each. Layne caught a King; Michael showed a QJ and Phil mucked, heading for the door. Michael tripled up to about 70k. A short while later, Michael and Layne tangled again, and after they each drew one, Layne moved in and Michael called. Layne held an 86 to beat Michael's 87 by a pip. Layne doubled and Michael was left in bad shape with ~2k. He tripled up on the next hand, but is still in critical condition with less than 10k. Mickey Appleman got his very short stack in against Michael Mizrachi and Tony G. Michael took the pot and Mickey was busted. Doyle Brunson and Mark Dickstein tangled up pre-draw, then both stood pat. More chips went in the middle and Mark showed an 87. Doyle mucked and was down to 65k. Mark was up to 145k. End of level 10 and the 28 surviving players are taking 20.

Now Howard is the one over 100k. Short-stacked Layne Flack got all-in pre-draw against Tony G. Layne stood pat while Tony drew one. Layne showed a Queen -- but Tony had paired up, so Layne doubled up. After his rush early on day one, Todd Brunson has not been able to get in the right gear. He finally got his last chips in against David Grey, who stood pat with a Jack. Todd threw away a Jack, but paired up and was booted. Jim Bechtel doubled through Tom Dwan to again climb above the 100k mark. David Peat and Eli Elezra were both busted. Carlos Mortensen then doubled up his short stack, courtesy of Jim Bechtel. Layne Flack doubled through Michael Mizrachi.
