Last time we checked on Matt Affleck he was sporting a short stack and news has just come to us that he has been eliminated from the tournament. Affleck was present for all three starting rounds but just could not seem to gain enough momentum to make it on to Day 2.

We found Matthew Pang heads up in a pot with the board reading 
. Pang's opponent bet 3,100 out of the small blind only to have Pang raise to 7,800. His opponent called and the two were off to see the final card.
The dealer produced the 
on the river and Pang's opponent checked. Pang moved all of his purple t5,000 chips into the center which was a bet that was enough to put his opponent all in. With about 13,000 behind, his opponent opted to let go of his hand, awarding Pang the pot. Pang is currently sitting on about 57,000 in chips.
