Tournament chip leader Bill Johnson was just relieved of about 30,000 of his stack. He was heads up against Jeff Meyers on a 
flop. Johnson bet 5,000 and Meyers moved all in for just under 30,000.
Johnson called, tabled 
but saw bad news when Meyers turned up 
. The board completed 
and Meyers' quads took the pot.
We just witnessed 2010 November Niner John Dolan pack up his belongings and head out of the tournament area. We're unsure if he's going to play the second flight but we'll let you know.

There are currently just over 100 players in the Day 1b flight and with the blinds climbing in Day 1a they are sure to pick up some more.
The number of Day 1a registrants is at 237.
We haven't caught much action from Daniel Lowery thus far, but he's a consistent player on the circuit. We're hoping he makes as much noise on the felt as he does in photos.
