An Excess of Talent

Given the nature of this event, it's quite common to have a few great players at the same table. This lineup however, is noteworthy. Eli Elezra, Erik Seidel, Phil Hellmuth, Greg Raymer, Chad Brown, Cyndy Violette, Chip Reese, and Carlos Mortensen are all at the same table. For you historians out there...that's 3 world championships, 26 bracelets, and over $39 million in career earnings seated at the same table.

Ariel Schneller Survives with a Miracle River

Holding {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Ariel moved his last chips in on a flop of K-2-2. John D'Agostino made the call with K-J. The turn spelled disaster for Ariel when J Dags caught a K, but the river was the case 2 and Ariel made quads.

The players at the table and everyone on the rail exploded with excitement when the river card fell.
