Ashby to Ashby, Dust to Dust
Despite his recent bracelet triumph, high stakes online pro Richard Ashby isn't in his seat, which either means he's locked himself in the toilet or, most likely, he's out.
Racening Ahead
John Racener: 
/ 
Gentleman opponent: (XXX) / 
We only caught the tail end of the hand, which went Racener: bet, and opponent: call on seventh street, but we suspect the rest of the hand took a similar course. Either way, when they turned the cards over Racener had made a full house and his opponent spent some time looking sadly at his up cards until the dealer took them away.
Racener got the whole pot, and his stack is now at 13,000.
Gazes Off into the Distance
I had to scribble on my pad like a man possessed to note the hands, and even then I could only catch one, but either way, Kritsy Gazes has been eliminated from today's event. On her final hand she held 
/ 
, but was pipped at the post by what I later learned was trip jacks.
"Nice playing with you," she complimented on departure.
Hodge-ing His Bets
Marc Hodge: {X}{X}/
/{X}
Opponent 1: {X}{X}/
/{X}
Opponent 2: {X}{X}/
/{X} (all in on third street)
The betting was capped on third street and Marc Hodge bet every street from there on out, culminating with his non-all-in opponent folding on seventh street. Hodge tabled for quads, besting the all-in opponent and shooting up to 19,000 in chips. He is the biggest stack we have seen in the room to this point.
"You Can't Keep a Good Man Down"
"You can't keep a good man down," mumbled a wise neighbor as Phil Hellmuth survived an all in. The hand was three-handed by the end, and although Hellmuth was all in on seventh street, his trip queens were good enough to scoop. The Poker Brat now has 3,300.
Hellmuth: 
{X}/
Opponent:

Opponent: {X}{X}{X}/
- mucked
Kelly Not Well
JP Kelly: 
/ 
Player 2: (XX) and flashed the / 
Player 3: / 
Player 2 was all in on third or fourth street and betting continued between JP Kelly and Player 3. When they got to showdown, Player 3 looked kind of disappointed - but then perked up when someone said, "Oh, you made a flush." Well, there are a lot of cards in this game.
Player 3 scooped the lot and Player 2 was eliminated, flashing the for two pair as he went. Kelly was in somewhat of a predicament after that too - he dropped to just 1,050.
A Quiet Exit for Hellmuth
We arrived at the table and saw Phil Hellmuth all in on fifth street against two opponents. The board read:
Phil Hellmuth: {X}{X}//{X}
Manny Minaya: {X}{X}/
{X}
Opponent 1: {X}{X}/
/{X}
Both of Hellmuth's opponents checked on seventh street with opponent 1 turning over 
for two pair and a 6-4-3-2-A low. Neither Hellmuth nor Minaya could best either hand.
Hellmuth quietly left the table and exited the Amazon Room.
Guill Gutted
Down to about 1,250, James Guill got his remaining chips in on fifth street with the board looking like this after the down cards were turned up:
Guill: 
/
Opponent: 
/
Bad luck for Guill, seeing his strong starting hand left with little to no chance of winning the high, as well as many of his low outs being in his opponent's hand. Guill caught a on sixth street and a 
on seventh street, ending his tournament just before the end of Level Six.
