2006 Reigning Champ Eliminated

[user38449]
Bill Chen was eliminated from the tournament holding {A-Spades}{6-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Shortstacked, Bill put the last of his money into the pot with the board showing {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

The turn and river brought no help to either player and Chen's Ace-high lost to his opponent's pair of 5's.

Daredevil Devonshire

[user38449]
Word has it that Bryan Devonshire just made a $100 prop bet that he can drive a wheelchair across the room wearing goggles and a helmet, while doing a continuous wheelie without stopping.

A guy who calls himself "Crazy Mike" has taken him up on the bet, and said, "it's more of a challenge than flipping a coin." The two have been flipping coins for $100 a pop all night long.

More to come.

Doyle's Influence Spreads Far and Wide

[user38449]
Though he was not one of our 296 entrants in today's tournament, Doyle Brunson's presence is still being felt out in the Player's Pavilion.

On a board showing Q-J-2, the action was checked around to Annie Duke, who took a stab at the pot; she was called by a single opponent.

The turn brought a King and both players checked, opting to see the river. The last card off the deck was a 10, and again both Duke and her opponent knuckled the felt. Duke's opponent said, "two pair," before turning over 10-2 offsuit, the hand made famous by Doyle Brunson who won two World Championships with it.

Duke wasn't amused and subtly shook her head as she tossed her cards in the muck.
