A few more familiar faces have been spotted as players continue to trickle into the tournament, including Johnny Chan, Layne Flack, Gus Hansen, Al Barbieri, Carmel Petresco, Sean McCabe, Danny Hall, J.C. Alvarado, and Quinn Do.

Gavin Griffin, who recently won the EPT Championship in Monte Carlo, is also here. And just like it was in Monte Carlo, his hair is dyed pink to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Mike Matusow is not feeling well. He was just spotted lying down on one of the floral patterned couches in the Bellagio's Fontana Room. With 50K to start in chips, The Mouth can nap for a couple of hours.

Eugene Todd Eliminated

With the board showing {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Eugene Todd was all in against another player. Todd showed {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, good for top full house (jacks full of tens). But his opponent had {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, giving him quads, and Eugene Todd was eliminated.

The Distant Thunder of Mike Matusow

[user22113]
The Fontana Room is fairly quiet compared to Day 1a. Most fof the noise is the clattering of chips. With no Phil Hellmuth and Jamie Gold back-and-forth banter to keep everyone entertained, the onus has fallen onto Mike Matusow's shoulders to keep the room lively with his stellar conversational skills. Alas, the Mouth is under the weather and his outbursts have been infrequent.

For all his fans; Mike is running better and catching cards. His stack is 72,300.
