Peter Wong Eliminated on First Hand

[user22113]

With A-A Peter Wong got all his money in the pot pre-flop against K-K. His opponent flopped a King and his aces got cracked. Wong has to do the walk of shame past the line of players who are still waiting to register in today's event.

In today's event the 11 handed tables will be played down to 8 handed before any tables are broken and closed. The remainder of the tournament will be 8 handed.

Dr. Pauly is out walking the floor for the "big" names who are playing today. We would note that several to many of the name players are out on the golf course today playing the Full Tilt Invitiational.
