Recent Eliminatations

[user67765]

Yan Chen was one of the early short stacks in the $50,000 HORSE event but managed to fight back valiantly late last night and early today. However his run just came to an end as he couldn't find a double up and was sent to the rail by Howard Lederer.

On a nearby table Yoshio Nakano was also eliminated.

Play Slows

[user67765]

While we've certainly had quite a few high-profile bustouts recently, the play in general appears to have slowed up over the last level or so with less noteworthy action to report.

Hopefully the players get a caffeine hit and find a little more life in the final two hours of play for the day.
