Barati Eliminated; Soulier the Early Chip Leader

Hossein Barati lost most of his stack early in level two when his king-queen for top pair was no good against the ace-queen of Fabrice Soulier. Berata's remaining chips vanished soon after while Soulier became the early chip leader. The Frenchman sits near the entrance of the poker arena with headphones on, jamming to the tunes on his iPad.
