We missed the action on the flop, only walking up to see the turn come down on a board. There was already more than 20,000 in the pot, and Sam Trickett checked. Michael Mizrachi took his cue to bet 10,000, a bit of a leverage bet. Trickett only had about 24,000 in his stack, so the decision he was faced with was essentially for his full stack. It was several long minutes before he quietly said, "I'm going to fold," and dumped his cards out of his hand. It's not clear whether or not he meant to expose his cards, but the tumbled face-up onto the felt. Mizrachi responded by flashing his own and a wry smile as he dragged the pot.

The kicker didn't matter as the dropped right on the flop. Chan could not catch up with a two-out three, and he wished his table luck before cheerily heading out the door.
Phil Hellmuth has made his way into the tournament area -- finally -- and got involved here on this one. After Shannon Shorr opened with a raise from early position to 1,000, Hellmuth three-bet to 3,100. Play then folded to Matt Waxman in the small blind. He paused and then four-bet to 8,000. Everyone folded back to Hellmuth and he tanked for a little bit. In the end, the 11-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner decided to cut his losses and fold his hand.
And then a moment later: "Jason Wheeler, if you're in the room, please make yourself known to one of the tournament staff."
That was about an hour ago, and we've just now learned what the concern was. Wheeler was assigned Table 13 Seat 8 today, and his stack has been blinded off since the start of play. During the break, it became apparent that Wheeler was not supposed to be playing this event. We're not sure if his money got wired to the wrong place, or there was a miscommunication or a paperwork error; whatever the case, he was registered for this event erroneously.
Tournament Director Jack Effel made the decision to remove Wheeler's stack and refund the buy-in, and he immediately took to the microphone to announce that to the rest of the field. Only a few players took initial exception to the ruling, but they were quick to see things Effel's way -- after all, they'd want the same treatment if they were in Wheeler's position. As a result, the official field size has been shrunken to 125, and the prize pool will be tweaked accordingly.
