Day: 1
Bellande Can't Believe It
"I don't f#cking believe this! Every f#cking time on the river! Why does it always happen to me?" he yelled. Fortunately for Bellande, no tournament staff was around to hear the language. Bellande's been doing quite while today and even after losing the 4,000 pot he still has 9,000 chips in front of him.
ElkY Out
Erick Lindgren Eliminated
Shronk Has Busted
Montel Finds an Ace
After the hand, Montel is up to 4,300.
Laak Makes a Move
Laak turned over pocket tens while his opponent showed A-K. His opponent flopped an ace, which was good enough to win the by the river, and Laak is down to 7,200 afterwards.
Phil Hellmuth Is Eliminated
It turned out we had a nice collection of pocket pairs--Phil turned over kings, the player in the middle had queens, and both found that they were way behind Christianson's aces. The bullets held up and Christianson now has around 18,000. Phil circled the table, shaking everyone's hand, before tipping the masseuse and heading out the door.
