Ron Matusek Doubles Up Leon Lewis

Lewis raised to 40K in the cutoff and Matusek called from the big blind. The flop came {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Matusek pushed with {A-Spades}{10-Spades}. Lewis made the call with {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and he hit the {9-Clubs} on the turn to make his flush. The {7-Clubs} on the river didn't help Matusek and his stack was reduced to 105,000, while Lewis moved up to 310K.

Right Before The Break . . .

David Icke and Rod Clarida played a huge pot. Icke raised to 30K from the cutoff, Clarida re-raised all-in and Icke called the extra 110,000. He held pocket Aces, Clarida had Jacks, and the Aces held up. That pot lifted Icke back up to 230,000, while Clarida's stack fell to 178,000.

It's Unanimous

The players were asked if they wanted to go to dinner after this level, and the answer was unanimous: "Yes." That might be the only question the folks in this tournament agree 100% on.

So we're on dinner break for 90 minutes, and we'll resume play at 8:20 p.m. PDT with 27 players still fighting to make the final table.

Brad Daugherty Has Been Eliminated

The last of the World Champions in our field has been eliminated. Brad Daugherty moved in the last of his chips with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and was called by Ken Uchina with pocket Sevens. The {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop gave Uchina the set, the {8-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a boat, and the {7-Hearts} on the river gave him quads, as if the set alone wouldn't be enough to eliminate a former champion. But it was, and Brad Daughtery's day is at an end.
