: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Normally when we have a table of death, it means that the players at the table are especially skilled compared to other around the room.
This time we mean it a bit differently. Of the first eight players knocked out since the table redraw, five were original members of Table 2 and sixth was moved there before getting knocked out. Further, Kenny Smith was our 19th place finisher and he was also an original member of this table.
The only players to survive the whole way through were Stan Combs, Luis Reyes and Waseem Karim. Details about Smith's exit will follow shortly.
WIth the fast action it's been hard to catch each elimination as the hand unfolds. We found Robert Castoire and Kenny Smith with a 200,000 pot and a board reading 
. Smith moved all in for 128,000 and Castoire took some time to think.
"I think I have enough outs to call," Castoire said and put in chips to call.
Smith: 
Castoire: 
And just like that the river fell 
making Castoire's flush and eliminating Smith from the tournament.

The final 18 players were moved to two tables. We're not sure if cocktail servers spiked their drinks but no sooner did we get the seat draw three players were eliminated in short order.
Stan Combs held 
on a board that read 
and David Hengen called his all in holding 
. The river brought the 
and Combs' day was done.
Donovan Darland eliminated Charles Kramer in unknown action.
Then Tommy Cronin was eliminated by Robert Castoire when his 
hit a two-outer on the river. Cronin had 
and the board was 
when he shoved. Then the 
fell on the river to beat Cronin's flush with a full house.
