Joe HachemAlways on Duty
2005 Main Event Champion Joe Hachem has been spotted strolling about the Amazon Room. He made a brief appearance in the Final Table area and has since been making the rounds throughout the room. Likely here to check on his brother Tony's progress, his presence seems to delight the many fans and spectators on the sidelines, who've come to catch a glimpse of their favorite players. A true ambassador of the game, Hachem always takes time to sign an autograph or pose for an impromptu photo. Joe survived Day 1b and will be back on Tuesday for Day 2a, when the remaining players from Days 1a and 1b will meet.

Ted LawsonTed Lawson Eliminated
With the board showing

for top pair with a queen-high flush draw. His opponent shows for a nine-high flush, and Lawson needs another spade on the board to survive.
The river card is the, and Lawson loses to his opponent's flush, and he is eliminated from the tournament.
His opponent, who was standing up while the board cards were dealt, looked around, apparently expecting ESPN to record his big moment as he busted a notable player. There were no cameras.
He unhappily sat down and said, "But, there was no camera." It look like he'll have to survive a while longer and do something more notable than that to get his moment in the sun on ESPN.
