Mike "The Mouth" Matusow has been eliminated. He's not moving over to the just-started Limit Hold'em event. Why? "I hate Limit Hold'em, I hate this (bleep) game - I'd rather go home and (bleep)."

Daniel Negreanu's Mirror Image

[user38368]

Daniel Negreanu, during his fifteen-minute break in the HORSE event, has rushed down a few tables to his $5,000 Limit Hold'em spot. He's going to play a few hands during the break before coming back. This has been a common practice all Series among a number of pros. Andy Black has even taped a big cutout of himself to his chair when he's not present, but Negreanu is just content to let his empty chair speak for itself.

Negreanu Wins First Hand after Break

[user38368]

David Negreanu flops two pair and busts an opponent, bringing himself up to 33,000 in chips. After the hand he tells Scotty Nguyen over at the next table that he got J-J during the fifteen minute break, in a three-way pot, while he was playing in the Limit event a few tables down. His absent self is sitting on a good size pot over there, so he's juggling both events fine thus far. "Life is good!" he says.
