Abandoned at Sea

Eric Celeste has been eliminated within the first two hands after the break.

Most of his stack sailed over to Graham Wheldon, his A-J decimated by Wheldon's pocket tens. A ten on the flop was emphatic with an academic ace on the river doing nothing but add salt to already open wounds.

The very next hand, Celeste was all in for a paltry 18,000, his 9-4 no match for Dustin Dirksen's pocket sevens on an ensuing 5-5-2-4-6 board.

Sealing the Deal

Conor "Sealey" Tate, uttering barely a word all day from beneath his baseball cap and hoodie combo, has been quietly accumulating chips since the start of play -- he's now on around 300,000.

Most recently, he took a decent chunk of Matt LaGarde's stack -- Tate raised to 23,000 and LaGarde reraised to 57,000, but LaGarde laid it down when Tate went all in.

Buonano Lenoble in Defeat

While Dylan Bircheff is enjoying a one-round penalty for swearing, Rick Lenoble knocks out Derek Buonano on a classic coinflip, Lenoble with the {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} and Buonano with the {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}.

A rollercoaster board, though: {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} eventually making Lenoble a flush.
