How Many Outs Dealer?

Ali Khalil has just doubled Roy Vandersluis up while holding {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} to Roy Vandersluis' {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, and as Vandersluis was being pushed the 10,000 pot, Khalil stood up, pointed at the flop and said, "How many outs do I have dealer. How many outs?" The dealer responded with a softly spoken, "Umm, 20."

Khalil shook his head before someone sarcastically mentioned, "I think it's actually 21." Khalil continued with the head shake and slipped to 19,000 in chips.

Boxell Blessed or What?

Boxell hits runner-runner to stay alive
Boxell hits runner-runner to stay alive
We caught the action on the flop of {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades} as Nali ‘Iraqi Nick’ Kaselias checked over to Leo Boxell, who made it 1,600 to go. Kaselias check-raised to 4,000 and Boxell moved all in for his tournament life. Kaselias couldn't call fast enough, tabling {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for bottom set while Boxell flipped over his {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for top pair.

Kaselias would be left dumb-founded when he saw the turn and river fall the {7-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} to give Boxell a full house. He managed to stay alive and now sits with 24,000 in chips as Kaselias slipped to 9,000.

Break

The remaining players are on their second break for the evening; however this time it is for fifteen minutes.

Obst Takes Out Guttman

James 'Andy McLEOD' Obst opened to 500 and was met with a 2,000 reraise from Michael Guttman. Obst made the call and checked the flop of {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Guttman led for 4,000 and was met with an Obst check-raise to 8,000. With the action back on Guttman, he min-raised it back once again to 12,000, which was immediately responded to with an all in from Obst. Guttman made the call.

Guttman: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Obst: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The turn and river couldn't land Guttman the needed two-outer for a set or running clubs. Guttman was sent to the rail after such a bounding start to the day.

Obst is now the clear chip leader of the tournament, with over 60,000 in chips.

Recent Eliminations

Tilly tilted?
Tilly tilted?
Dennis Huntly's was eliminated after he ran {A-?}{J-?} into {K-?}{K-?}. Since then, we have seen a handful of players eliminated as we approach the second break of the tournament.

Jennifer Tilly was eliminated and she had already vacated the building before we could get details. Jeff Fenech was KO'd from the tournament after never recovering from the losing wheel-straight he made earlier in the day.

Neil Channing has also made his way to the rail after not getting anything going on his table which included Michael Guzzardi and Michael Chrisanthopoulos.
