Four players were on a flop of

No-Limit
We walked up to Table 11 just in time to catch Joe Sebok move all in for 2,200 on a board showing

, and Sebok's 
already had the pot locked up with one card to come.
The 
river cued the double up, and Sebok is back up to 7,900.
Better Late Than Never
Some late registrants have been seated here for the start of the third level, including J.J. Liu, Lex Veldhuis, Eric Froehlich, Jason Mercier, Andy Bloch, John Juanda, Eric Cajelais, and Maria Ho.
Those last four incidentally -- Bloch, Juanda, Cajelais, and Ho -- are all gathered at the same table.
Seebs Just Drinking Now
Joe Sebok doubled just a few minutes ago, but he just came walking past our desk in the direction of the double exit doors. We didn't see the hand that did him in, but Seebs is out.
Also exiting in the last minute or so were both Jason Mercier and Phil Gordon.
Payback
David Williams is out, having been eliminated in a no-limit hand against Dwyte Pilgrim here at the start of Level 3.
"I've been wanting to do that," said Pilgrim afterwards. "He knocked me out of the $25K at the Bellagio!" he added, referring to the most recent WPT Championship won by Williams.
Pilgrim is up to 20,500.
