Eli Elezra and Doyle Brunson have been playing "props" throughout the Day 2 action-- betting on the cards that will come out on the flop. Elezra is already up $25K on Brunson... more than what 9th place will pay in this event.

Two Ladies Down

[user25067]

Two of our remaining ladies in the field, Clonie Gowen and Anahit Galajian, were just eliminated. Galajian came into the day as a short stack and couldn't get anything going, while Gowen's J-J ran into A-A.

While Clonie Gowen is a familiar face to most poker enthusiasts from televised tournaments and all those Full Tilt Poker commercials, Anahit Galajian is not yet a household name. She is a force to be reckoned with at the tables, however, crushing the high-limit action at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles and cashing four times at the 2006 WSOP. She also appeared on the WPT Ladies Night IV broadcast where she finished in third place.
