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.
