When we came to Raemin Alexander's table there was a board showing 
and Alexander was all in against Jim Sachinidis. At this point our field reporter tells us that Sachinidis was in the tank, "forever." While we are sure he didn't mean literally, obviously Sachinidis was taking a long time to make a decision. Eventually he made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
Alexander: 
Sachinidis: 
A straight draw and an over card for Alexander and top-pair for Sachinidis. The 
on the river changed nothing as Sachinidis eliminated Alexander.

We missed their bustouts, but a quick look on twitter tells us how Daniel Laidlaw and Tony Hachem were eliminated from the tournament.
Laidlaw simply tweeted, "Busto, QJ<K8 SB/BB."
Hachem's twitter post was a bit more in depth, "How sick is this game of POKER? At the break with 75k , I lose a 90k pot. Had my AAs cracked by a 2 outer.Then run AKclubs into AAs. Busto"
We came to Lee Nelson's table with a flop showing 
and Nelson involved in a hand with one opponent. Nelson was in the small blind position and opted to check-call a bet of 7,000 from his opponent.
The 
hit the turn and both playeres went with a check as the 
landed on the river. This time nelson would lead, throwing out 18,000. Nelson's opponent eventually opted to fold and Nelson took down another pot.
