Tran, Antonius and Seidel Eliminated

With the blinds now at 600/1,200, the players have picked up the pace a bit and we've seen three eliminations in the last five minutes.

Over on table two, Kenny Tran was eliminated by Scott Clements when his A-7 failed to run down Clements' A-K in a pre-flop all in confrontation.

Across the room on table five, Patrik Antonius lost a coinflip holding pocket twos against Kaplan's {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} when the board filled out {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

And finally, our most recently eliminated player was Erik Seidel, who was sent to the rail by Jonathan Little whose pocket fours held up against Seidel's A-9 in another pre-flop all in contest.
