Hearts Bracket Concludes

After 95 minutes of play, that's it for the Hearts bracket. Allen Cunningham was the first player to bid adieu, sent home by a dapper Sam Farha. He was soon joined by a bevy of his Full Tilt colleagues, including Andy Bloch, Erik Seidel and the Professor, Howard Lederer. Johnny "The Orient Express" Chan was derailed by Eli Elezra. Elezra was joined in the winner's circle by 2007 WSOP Main Event Champion Jerry Yang, and WSOP bracelet winners Scott Fischman and David Williams.

We're now on a short break. In the interim, consider who you like in tomorrow's Round Two Hearts bracket matches:

Eli Elezra v. Erick Lindgren

David Williams v. Scott Fischman

John Phan v. Jerry Yang

Sam Farha v. Peter Eastgate
