We didn't catch the hand, but WSOP bracelet winner Robert Cheung has been eliminated from the tournament.
We missed the hand, but Josh Brikis was kind enough to give us the details on his recent double. According to him, an early-position player raised opened and action folded to him on the button. He promptly shipped for around 30,000, the blinds got out of the way, and the original raiser made the call.
Showdown
Brikis: 
EP Player: 
The 
flop delivered the EP player a queen, but it also gave Brikis the but flush. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing, and Brikis received a double to nearly 80K.
A player in middle position opened for 5,000 only to have Jake Toole shove all in for about 22,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and the original raiser didn't even give it a moment's though before mucking. Toole picked up some much needed chips, though he'll need some more if he hopes to catch up with the chip average.

Kenny Nguyen started the day with a bang as he surged up the chip counts. He appeared to be the first to break 100K, reaching as high as 150,000. Unfortunately, things turned on Nguyen and he began losing, dropping back down to as low as 45,000.
The good news is Nguyen seems to have righted the ship. In a recent hand, a middle-position player raised to 5,200 and found a call from the player in the hijack. Nguyen then three-bet to 20,200 from the cutoff, which inspired folds all around. Nguyen added 10K+ to his stack without so much as a flop, bringing him up to 80,000.
We found this hand developing after Tim Vance had moved all in following a raise by Jenny Kim. Kim called and the hands were tabled.
Vance: 
Kim: 
"Come on queens, hold for me," Vance pleaded.
The board ran 
and Vance's plea fell on deaf ears as Kim rivered the wheel.
