Shuffle Up and Deal!
Players are in their seats and the cards are in the air. The plan today is to play to a final table or until around midnight, whichever comes first. With 60 players remaining, we're looking to lose 51 of them before day's end.
First Elimination of the Day
On the first hand of the day, Allison Whalen moved all in with 
from the hijack and was called by John Deatherage who held 
in the small blind. The board ran out 
and Whalen became the first casualty of the day.
Over the course of the next few minutes, both David Nicholson and Jeff Fielder followed her out the door.
Stukes Doubles Through Walker
Over at Table 123, Roston Stukes was short-stacked and moved all in for his last 30,000 from middle position. The next player to act, James Walker, made the call and the rest of the players got out of the way.
Stukes: 
Walker: 
Stukes was in great shape to double as the flop came down 
. The 
on the turn kept Stukes in the lead and asking for the dealer to pair the board. Indeed, the dealer put up the 
and Stukes doubled to around 65,000.
Hieronymus Busted
Christopher Sullivan raised to 12,000 in middle position with 
only to have Gary Hieronymus move all in for 33,000 with . Sullivan called and took the lead on the 
flop. The 
on the turn changed nothing and Hieronymus needed to catch an ace to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, the river was the and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Hazer Hazed
Doug Hazer was nursing a short stack and found himself all in with 
against the of Mike Wommack. Hazer needed an ace and the 
flop did not deliver. The 
changed nothing and it was down to the river for Hazer. When the hit, Hazer's day came to an end. Meanwhile, Wommack increased his stack to 110,000.
Wilson's Fours Can't Get It Done
Action folded to Libby Wilson in the hijack and she moved all in for her last 8,200. Russell Boyker called from the big blind and they turned up their cards:
Boyker: 
Wilson: 
Wilson was in big trouble and couldn't connect on the 
flop. The dealer burned and turned the , which meant Wilson needed to catch a four on the river to survive. It was not meant to be as the 
appeared. Wilson was eliminated from the tournament while Boyker is up to 73,000.
