"This is ridiculous!"
Vanessa Rousso is out, the result of a poorly timed move. She raised with from the button and called the big blind's reraise. They both checked the flop and Rousso called the big blind's 800 on the turn. When the big blind bet out 1,125 on the river she raised all in for 3,025, and was dismayed to see her opponent call and flip over . "This is ridiculous!" she exclaimed, "How come you have the same hand all the time?!" as she took her leave.

Loren Klein has become the first winner of the day in what must surely have been a commanding performance. With just 1,200 heads up, Michael Bordach pushed in with A-3, but came stuck when Klein flopped a flush with 8-7 suited.

Phil Gordon is gone, pushing for 775 under the gun with and finding a caller in Spil Venetsanopoulos, holding on the button. The board an exciting but ultimately fruitless .
Also no longer in the running is Ray Henson. All in preflop for 1,700 with , he didn't stand much of a chance against an opponent holding , and the board came an ace-free to eliminate Mr Henson.

bad luck for Phil
Whilst simultaneously hoping that the above title of expressing shock or surprise isn't exclusive to the British isles, I bring you news of the recent demise of Phil Gordon. We didn't catch his final hand (although it's really easy to spot when Gordon exits a room), but do possess knowledge of his prior decimation.
Raising preflop to 450, an unknown player in the small blind made it 4,350 and Gordon called all-in. Although dominating with aces versus jacks, a third knave on the turn was enough to leave Gordon with nothing but a bowl of rice and a expression like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Alex Kravchenko pushed for 1,725 from the button with A-9 and found himself up against the big blind's pocket tens; no help, and he's out.
------
Sabyl Landrum (formerly Cohen) is out, too, turning a king to pair up her K-9, but playing into the hands of a opponent who was slow-playing trip sevens.
------
Similarly no longer with us is Bill Chen, who raised all in for 1,300 with A-3 and got himself called by a limper with pocket sixes, which held up.
------
As witnessed largely by his movement past the press area and into the hallway, Andy Bloch has busted out too.
