A Slew of Eliminations

We just made another pass of the tournament floor and noticed a number of notables were gone. Former NBA player Earl Barron was missing, and he's not easy to miss as he towers over the room.

Likewise, last year's Harrah's Tunica final tablist Preston Derden made his exit after making a stand with {A-} {K-} only to run into {K-} {K-} .

A similar tale can be told by Matthew Chang, who got short and moved all in with {A-} {9-} and was up against {Q-} {Q-} . A queen on the flop quickly put an end to Chang's day.

Finally, we can confirm that former November Niner John Dolan has been eliminated. We're not sure of the details, but Dolan told a friend, with a bit of sarcasm we might add: "I just had the most absurd bustout hand ever. It's hilarious."
