Dwyte Pilgrim has been nursing a short stack for quite some time and it looks like his number is up. We didn't catch the hand but Pilgrim was seen exiting the tournament area and his spot at the table was devoid of chips. Pilgrim, who finished third in the previous WSOPC Main Event at Council Bluffs, will not be adding to his point total in this tournament.
Shiva Dudani raised to 3,900 from middle position only to have the cutoff move all in for around 15,000. Dudani, who barely had him covered, made the call.

Mark "Poker Ho" Kroon has had an up and down day. Unfortunately for him, it ended on a down note. We're not sure of the hand, but Kroon has been eliminated from the tournament.

The player directly to his left pulled out a wad of cash and pulled out a $20 bill. The player who had moved all in gave the man change and then told the dealer to keep the entire $20 (meaning he tipped her $15 on top). He promptly showed pocket sixes for a flopped set and everyone was happy.
Michael Cole continues his solid run here in the Main Event and has now built up to about 140,000 in chips.

Cole hasn't been shy about the cards he's playing either and has been regularly showing his hands to his opponents. Here's a look.
After a player opened with a raise to 3,300 in middle position, action moved to Cole in the small blind. He reraised to 10,000 and won the pot showing the .
On the next hand, action folded to Cole on the button and he opened with a raise to 4,000. The two blinds gave it up and Cole showed the from his hand.
