Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

We missed the hand unfold, but we do know that last year's runner-up, Joe Kuether, was just eliminated at the hands of David Peters.

The chips went in on the river with the board reading and Kuether's two pair proved no good against Peters' rivered straight with the .

Something tells us we haven't seen the last of Kuether, who can still reenter up until the start of play on Day 2.

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Luc Greenwood just raised to 2,000 from the hijack and Igor Kurganov three-bet all in from the button for 7,200. Jani Sointula, in the big blind, four bet to 14,400 and the action was back on Greenwood.

"My suggestion is," Kurganov smiled, "Jam and fold," as he pointed to Greenwood first, and then to Sointula.

Greenwood eventually five-bet, and Sointula snap-folded, giving Kurganov exactly what he wanted.

Greenwood:
Kurganov:

The board ran out and the river gave Greenwood a straight, sending Kurganov to the rail. Kurganov went back to the cashier to re-enter, and we'll see him again soon.

Charlie Carrel just raised to 2,000 in early position and Richard Seymour called from his direct left. Sean Winter three-bet from the big blind to 7,200 and both Carrel and Seymour called.

The flop brought out and Winter checked after which Carrel tanked for a while before betting 9,000.

Seymour stared at Carrel for a bit, as he's been sitting to his left all day, but eventually he folded and Winter folded as well.

Seymour's been holding his own at the table, and right now he's still sitting comfortably on about 85,000 chips.

Cada thought for a bit, and while he didn't seem thrilled about it, he moved all in for 26,900. Yan got out of the way and Kitai made the call.

Kitai:

It was a flip, but Cada was the one at risk. He was looking for his ladies to hold, and they came through for him as the board ran out a lowly .

Peters was out in front, but the flop made things interesting by giving Kelly an open-ended straight draw. Unfortunately for him, neither the turn nor river helped him and he was eliminated from the tournament.
