Bradley Lipsey was involved in another large hand, but we missed the action. He trapped an opponent holding pocket queens on a ten-high flop. His opponent three-bet shoved holding and Lipsey called. His queens held and he looks to be the tournament chip leader.

Allen Kessler just stopped by the media desk to tell us he was out. He paired an ace on the flop against two kings, but a king on the turn eliminated Kessler in a 100,000 pot.
However, Kessler did find the silver lining as he told us, "Now I get to go play slots."
If you know anything about Kessler then you know he's regarded as almost savant when it comes to playing machines.
