Matt Salbserg has been eliminated and is in line for Event 9, which has a few minutes left to register. Here's Salbserg telling the Twitter world how it went down:

Jonathan Little (Day 1a)
Jonathan Little (Day 1a)

Jonathan Little was all in and at risk for what looked like 15,000 preflop. Kyle Bowker had already called, and Kenneth Lind, the original raiser, was in the tank.

After well over a minute, he folded {2-}{2-} face up.

Little: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Bowker: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Little was eliminated as the board came {6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, and Bowker chipped up to 55,000.

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Affleck (Day 1a) doubles
Matt Affleck (Day 1a) doubles

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer say over on Table 1.

When we arrived, Matt Affleck was at risk with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}, but he wasn't really "at risk" because the board was {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and James Campbell was drawing dead holding {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}.

According to Affleck, the money went in on the flop, and after a meaningless {7-Hearts} completed the board, he doubled to 142,000 chips. Campbell fell to 41,000.
