Ronald Matusek, Sanford Cohen, and Tom Draeper Have Been Eliminated

The way players keep falling you'd think were were an hour into Day 1, not five players from the final table. After the short stacked Ronald Matusek was eliminated in 17th place, Sanford Cohen was knocked out when his A-K was outflopped by Ed Smith's A-J.

Then, Tom Draeper lost a huge pot when he raised to 70K in early position and Thomas Catanzaro moved all-in. Draeper called with A-J, Catanzaro had pocket Queens, and once again the Ladies held up. That pushed Catanzaro up to 590,000 and sent Draeper to the rail.
