Play Still Stopped

Play has been suspended while tournament directors do two things. They're counting how many players are remaining to make sure they did not miss any bustouts. One staff member has 218 players left while another has 220. They are also trying to figure out who was missing chips from last night's color up. Stay tuned.

Missing Chips

There has been some controversy brewing in this event. Several players are reporting differences in their chip stacks. Supposedly, they counted their chips and signed off on them before the dealers colored up their stacks. Players did not re-check their chips before they bagged them. When players stacked their chips at the start of Day 2, several of them noticed that the chips in their bag did not match the figure they originally wrote down. The tournament staff, which was swamped with bustouts in the first few minutes, is currently working on the issue.

Players Go on an Unscheduled Break

So many players busted out in the first few hands that the tournament staff had a difficult time catching up with the eliminations. Every player who busted out on Day 2 made the money. The TD sent everyone on a fifteen minute break so the staff can process the bustouts.

Chris Moneymaker Eliminated

Chris Moneymaker busted out on what he described as a "sick hand." Moneymaker raised 7K preflop and Sergei Veytser called. The flop was {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Moneymaker moved all in with {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}. He was called by Sergei Veytser who flipped over {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for the flopped straight. The turn and river did not help Moneymaker and he was eliminated.
