Down to less than two big big blinds, Nicholas Palma was all in with 
against an opponent's 
.
The 
flop did little to help Palma, but the 
turn gave Palma backdoor outs to two pair or trips. However, the 
river was not one of them and his Main Event came to an end.

The remaining players are on a 15-minute break.
Aaron Massey has been eliminated and informed us of the details.
He opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Dwyte Pilgrim three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind. Massey re-raised to 21,500, Pilgrim shoved, and Massey called all in with

James Gilbert, winner of Event #7 here at the WSOP Circuit's Harrah's Resort Atlantic City stop ($1,125 NLHE), has been eliminated.
Gilbert began today with less than 20,000, but had managed to build his stack up during the first two levels of play on Day 2. Then came a hand in which he found himself playing from the big blind against a single opponent on the button. We arrived with the 
flop having been dealt, about 18,000 in the middle, and Gilbert having shoved all in for about 44,000.
His opponent tanked for some time before finally calling with 
for a set of fives. Gilbert turned over 
for top-and-bottom pair, and after the 
turn and 
river Gilbert was eliminated.

We're awaiting final confirmation, but at the moment it looks as though there has been a grand total of 616 entries (i.e., buy-ins) for this year's WSOP Circuit Main Event at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City, just a couple shy of the 618 from a year ago.
We'll pass along all of the details regarding prize pool and payouts a little later this afternoon.
