Phahurat's Day is Done
We just saw a massive pot take place that resulted in AP Phahurat being crippled, and led to his subsequent elimination.

The Casino Champ is Gone
Last year, Raja Kattamuri finished as the Choctaw Casino Champion and qualified for the National Championship. Kattamuri was attempting to qualify for a second year in a row by winning the Main Event, but those hopes will have to wait until tomorrow's flight as he was recently eliminated from Flight A.
We didn't see it happen, but David "ODB" Baker informed us that Kattamuri lost the vast majority of his chips to Mitch Schock. It happened when Kattamuri held 
and got his chips in on a flop that read 
with two hearts. Schock called off with the 
and ended up making his flush when the 
spiked on the river. Kattamuri was eliminated a short time later by losing his remaining chips in a "standard race."
Even though Schock managed to take the majority of Kattamuri's chips, he was unable to hold on to them and lost them all to another player the very next hand.
