Jon Turner: Hefty 31k
And just like that - he's gone.
His exit hand was a Stud 8-or-better one, and I have only two details - one, that he was eliminated in a double bustout to Jon Turner, and two, his hand ended up as (in no particular order) vs. Turner's .

Alioto: Still in but down to 6,300
No, I didn't miss an apostrophe - table mates Dario Alioto and Dario Minieri both had a bad level. First off Alioto gave up a 15k pot to a river bet on a board (he was small blind vs. big blind and I wish I knew how such a pot grew).
But Dario Minieri's in much worse shape - in fact he's out, having reached the Red Alert of under 3k.
Just prior to his busting (in fact I think it was the hand before) he did win a few chips, getting it all in preflop in Omaha hi-low with in the small blind vs. utg's .
"Low cards!" commanded Minieri.
"High cards!" came the reply.
Flop: (One got their wish)
Turn:
River:
"You got there," laughed his opponent as Minieri took his half of the pot.

This has to go to Chad Brown. Early rumours of his retiring were substantiated by his chip stack just kind of sitting there without him for quite a while earlier. But suffering or not, Mr. Brown has returned and built his chip stack up to 34k and that's some achievement.

Rosario - She'll be back at 2pm tomorrow too
That's it for the night - with 10 minutes still on the clock the chip baggies made their first appearance at the $2,500 Omaha/Stud Hi-Lo 8-or-better. For want of a more accurate set of counts, I will pronounce Shirley Rosario as contender at least for chip lead and suggest you rejoin me tomorrow at 2pm should you wish to continue following this thrilling WSOP mixed-game adventure.
