Are We the Kiss of Death?

On the last break, we interviewed Phil Laak, and Shaniac for our video coverage. Less than 20 minutes of play later, both have been eliminated from the tournament.

Gavin Smith Eliminated

[user22113]

The Great Canadian is no more. Expect to see a "J.S." on his behind very soon after he lost a last longer with Joe Sebok.

Players Currently on Dinner Break

[user22113]

Play will resume at 8pm local time.

02-25-2007 21:09 UTC-7

At the dinner break there are 28 tables and 249 players remaining. It appears we are on track to 12:05 AM finish this evening, IF the entire level 11 is played out. The tournament floor staff have stopped play both for the end of Day One and for dinner breaks mid-level, so we cold conceivably end earlier than midnight.

..and they say poker is not a sport.

[user22113]

Joe Sebok played most of Day One with a severe ankle injury sustained during a break in the action. Ever the show-must-go-on trooper, Joe played on and ended Day One as chipleader. Playing through the pain that's what makes poker the great game it is.
