Big Hands:
Scott Dorin First Out The Door
Scott “dorinvandy” Dorin was the first person eliminated on the day when his pocket eights ran into an opponent’s pocket aces. The board offered no help and Dorin was eliminated from the tournament. Dorin came into the day with 80,000 in chips.
Jonathan Little Crippled, Kido Pham Wins Race
Kido Pham (pictured left) raised in middle position and Jonathan Little reraised on the button. Pham moved all in for his last 74,500 and Little made the call with pocket tens.
Pham showed A K and won the race when the board rolled out king high. Little was left with just 12,000 or so and continues his back luck from yesterday when his pocket jacks were two-outed by an opponent’s pocket fives.
UPDATE Little got the rest of his money in soon after and again and again, doubling up a few times and now has over 100,000 in chips.
Phil Ivey Doubles Up, Wins Another
The ever so terrifying Phil Ivey (pictured right) is back in contention, after doubling through Jerry Humphrey and then taking a pot from Stephen Giufre to put his stack closer to the average at 155,000 in chips.
Straight Flush For Clements
On a flop of 6 5 4 , Scott Clements checked and Chino Rheem bet 26,000. Clements called and the turn was the 9 .
Both players checked and the river was the Q . Clements bet 65,000 and Rheem made the call. Clements showed 8 7 for the flopped straight flush and Rheem obviously mucked. After the hand, Clements was up to 355,000 while Rheem took a hit down to 80,000.

Level 2 Update: Michael Mizrachi, Phil Ivey, Jacobo Fernandez Eliminated
May 31, '09
Blinds: 25-50
Players Remaining: 2,900 out of 3,021
Notable Eliminations:
Phill Ivey
Michael Mizrachi
Jonathan Little
Jacobo Fernandez
Big Hands:
Jimmy Fricke Doubles Up With Quads
On a flop of 7 7 8 , Jimmy Fricke moved all-in for 1,125, a little less than half the starting stack for the tournament. His opponent in seat 8 went into the tank before finally calling. Fricke immediately flipped over the nuts of 7 7 . His opponent sheepishly turned over the 9 9 and needed runner, runner perfect to eliminate the 2007 Aussie Millions runner-up.
Dale Pinchot Gets Pot-Comitted
On a flop of J 10 9 , the player in seat 4 bets 350 and Dale Pinchot raises to 950. The player in seat 9 moves all in behind him for a total of 1,325. The original bettor folds and Pinchot calls the 425 raise. Pinchot show J 10 for top two pair, but seat 9 turns over 10 10 for middle set. The turn and river are the K and the 9 , no help for Pinchot who is left with 1,800 after this hand.

Phil Ivey Flops Flush, Is Eliminated On The River
Holding the 10 8 , Phil Ivey got it all-in on the flop of A J 7 against the set of jacks of Nick Derke. The turn didn’t pair the board, however the A on the river gave Derke a full house and eliminated the 5-time bracelet winner.
Jacobo Fernandez Eliminated
With 525 already in the pot on a flop of J 7 4 , first to act, Jacobo Fernandez checks to the player in seat 6 who bets 400. Fernandez raises to 1,025, leaving himself with just 700 behind. Seat 6 tanks before putting Fernandez all in; Fernandez is covered. Fernandez calls and turns over Q Q for the overpair while seat 6 shows 8 7 for middle pair. The turn is the 8 , giving seat 6 two pair and the 3 on the river sends Fernandez to the rail half-way through Level 2.
Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi Eliminated
After raising to 125 pre-flop with the 10 8 , Michael Mizrachi saw a flop of 8 5 4 with three other players. Action was checked to Mizrachi who moved all in for about 1,000 total. Hands were folded until an opponent snap called with pocket fours, for bottom set. The turn of the 7 put The Grinder ahead, but his opponent filled up on the river as a five fell. Just like Ivey, The Grinder was eliminated with a flush against a rivered full house.
Left In The Deck:
The $1,000 tournament, the largest non-main event field in the history of poker, has been closed for registration.

Level 1 Update: David Tran, Chris McCormack Eliminated
May 31, '09
Blinds: 25-25
Players Remaining: 2,990 out of 3,021
Notable Eliminations:
David Tran
Chris McCormack
Big Hands:
David Tran Eliminated
Down to his last 50 in chips, David Tran checks his option from the big blind with 4 limpers in front of him. The flop comes 8 7 6 , and Tran moves all in for his last 25. The player in seat 2 calls and they turn over their cards. Tran turns over 7 4 for middle pair with a gutshot straight draw, but seat 2 shows 10 9 for the made nut straight. Tran makes his straight on the turn when the 5 hits the board, but he is now drawing dead to the river. The river is the 9 and David Tran is eliminated from the event.
Chris McCormack Eliminated
Chris McCormack was eliminated early in Level 1 when he ran his five-high flush into a king-high flush with the ace on board. McCormack is just one of several pros to be busted from this tournament in the first few minutes.
Jimmy Tran, Back to Even
After collecting a few buy-ins and building up a decent stack, Jimmy Tran gets involved in this pot, with a flop of K Q 7 . Tran checks to the button who bets 300, Tran calls. The turn is the 10 , and once again Tran checks to the button who this time bets 800, Tran calls. The river is the 3 and both players check. Tran shows Q Q for a set of queens, but the player on the button turns over 5 4 for a small flush. The player on the button rakes the pot and Jimmy Tran smiles as he riffles through the rest of chips. “Back to even”, he laughs.
“The Dragon” Off to a Slow Start
The player in seat 1 raises to 125 from middle position and David Pham calls from the small blind. The flop comes 9 8 2 , and Pham leads out for 175. Seat 10 raises to 400 and Pham calls. The turn is the Q , and this time Pham checks. Seat 10 bets 500 and Pham folds after a few minutes in the tank. After this hand Pham is down to 1,600 in chips.
Left In The Deck:
Even in the massive, sold-out field for the event, professional players Jonathan Little and Matthew Glantz have found themselves at the same table among an ocean of amateurs.

Key Hands:
Jonathan Little Sent Packing
Jonathan Little got it all in with A-K on a king high board looking to double up, only to see his opponent turn over pocket kings for top set. The turn and river brought no miracle cards and Little was eliminated from the tournament.
Everyone in the Fontana Lounge and a Change to the Prizepool
Thanks to the rapid pace of the eliminations, every player is now seated in the Fontana Lounge, clearing out the poker room of all tournament entrants. Speaking of the entrants, an error was made to yesterday's prize pool after it was discovered that the tournament drew in a field of 338, not 337 as it was originally reported. We'll be sure to change the prize pool information as soon as it becomes available.
Michael Watson Eliminated
Michael "SirWatts" Watson was eliminated during the level when his pocket queens ran into the pocket aces of Jennifer Harman. Harman moved up to 160,000 after the hand.
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier Gets Lucky, Wins Huge Pot
The board read J-10-9-8 when an unknown player bet 13,000. Shawn Cunix raised to 40,000 and Bertrand Grospellier made the call. The original bettor called and the river was a King. Cunix then bet, Grospellier moved all in and the other player folded. Cunix called, showing K-Q for the flopped nuts, but the river counterfeited his hand and Grospellier took the pot with A-Q for a broadway straight.
Grospellier took the huge pot to move to 545,000 and Cunix was left with just 30,000.
