Raymond Dandrea	Busted

Yes please! This was the question J.R. Richards asked us while we were counting his mountain of chips. Before the break, we mentioned that Jeff Fielder was our chip leader, but Richards has come out of nowhere to have the entire field crushed at the moment. By our best estimation, Richards is sitting on 123,000!

As we came over to get his name, Richards said "Let's trade places I'll report and you can play you will make more money then me!" Well it certainly seems like Richards is underplaying his ability as he is cruising at the moment.

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Registration is open all day here at the Lodge Casino, so we expect to see players filing in as the day goes by. One of the new faces we saw after the break was Ryan Lenaghan. Lenaghan became famous for his 16th place finish in the 2011 Main Event, where he took home $378,796 for his efforts.

Lenaghan has been grinding the circuit recently, and it's paying dividends for him. Lenaghan made a deep run in the Los Angeles Main Event in January, finihsing 21st, and just five days ago, he won a ring here in Black Hawk in a $365 buy in event.

Boudreau Busto

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We didn't catch the hand that did him in, but we saw Kevin Boudreau casually playing on his ipad at an empty table a few minutes ago, and we saw that his previous seat had been filled, meaning that he is no longer in the tournament. We will be sure to keep an eye out for his re-entry in a later flight.

Hui Busts In Flip

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

It was a tough day for circuit grinder Philip Hui. Hui had a decent start to the day, hanging around his starting stack until he got moved to a table that had a ton of big stacks. Hui couldn't get any traction going there, and he got his last 11,000 preflop holding . He was up against the of his opponent.
