Pegasus Shot Down
Level 17
: 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
On a flop of 
, Mark "Pegasus" Smith moved all in for his last 35,500 and received a call from Harris Paroya.
Smith: 
Paroya: 
Smith had an open-ended straight draw and desperately needed a five or ten. The 
turn was no help and neither was the 
turn. Smith, who is tied with Men "The Master" Nguyen with four WSOP-Circuit rings, was eliminated from the Harrah's St. Louis Main Event early on Day 2.

Weigel Picks Up Kings
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Randy Weigel had been clinging to a short stack for quite some time when he moved all in under the gun with 
and received a call from a player holding 
. The board ran out rather uneventful and Weigel managed a double to 60,000, which is still relatively short.
Isra Eliminated by Potter
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
On a flop of 
, Roland Isra got his last 64,000 in the pot holding 
and was up against the 
of David Potter. Isra's top pair was behind the bottom two pair of Potter, so he'd have to improve. He couldn't do it as the turn and river ran out the 
and 
respectively.
Isra was eliminated on the hand while Potter took down the pot and increased his stack to 175,000.
Monster Three-Way Pot
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
We arrived at the table to see a board reading 
and the following cards laid out:
Gene Baker: 
Dylan Thomassie: 
Mark Fleddermann: 
As it turned out, Fleddermann was eliminated, Baker was left with just 10,000, and Thomassie chipped up to 250,000. We're not sure when the money went in, though the flop seems the most logical place.
Weigel Rivered then Eliminated
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Robert Weigel called off most of his 62,000 stack from the big blind with and was in good shape against the 
of his opponent. Unfortunately for him, a queen on the river paired his opponent and Weigel was crippled. Subsequently, he was eliminated a short time later.
Phillips Eliminated in Set-Over-Set Hand
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
On a flop of 
, Dennis Phillips checked only to have chip leader Harris Paroya throw in a bet. Phillips opted for a check-raise, Paroya shoved, and Phillips called off his remaining stack:
Phillips: 
Paroya: 
It was a brutal set-over-set situation, and Phillips found himself on the raw end of the deal. He needed the last four in the deck to keep his WSOP-Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event hopes alive, but neither the turn nor river were it. Just like that, the well-liked St. Louis native was sent to the exit. Meanwhile, Paroya is up to 506,000.
Lowenthal vs. Stuhldreher
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Eli Lowenthal raised to 9,300 from early position only to have Terry Stuhldreher make it 24,000 to go from middle position. Action folded back to Lowenthal and he made the call to see the flop fall 
. Lowenthal checked, Stuhldreher bet 84,100, leaving himself just 2,500 behind, and Lowenthal tank folded.
Stuhldreher is up to 140,000 while Lowenthal dropped to 170,000.
Raymer Follows Phillips Out the Door
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Not long after the Elimination of Dennis Phillips, the WSOP-Circuit Harrah's St. Louis lost another big name in 2004 WSOP Main event Champion Greg Raymer. It began when Raymer and an opponent got all of the money in on a board containing 
{X}. Raymer held 
for a broadway straight, but couldn't overcome the flush of his opponent. That hand crippled Raymer.
Not long after, Raymer got his remaining chips in with 
against the pocket kings of Mark Koeln. The board did not deliver the help Raymer needed and he was eliminated from the Main Event. Meanwhile, Koeln is up to 175,000.
