Peter Traply Eliminated

[user40108]

On the first hand of play, Darren Grant limped into the pot from early position and Felix Osterland raised to 50,000 from middle position. Peter Traply called from the button and when action was back to Grant, he pushed all in for a total of 485,000.

Osterland threw his hand away, but Traply called for his whole stack of about 160,000. The players showed:

Traply: {Q-Hearts}

Grant:

Traply got no help from the community cards as the board ran out {8-Spades}

and he was eliminated. Darren Grant chipped up to just over 820,000 on the hand.

Greg Debora Eliminates George Rahme

[user37786]

George Rahme moved all in for 128,000 from middle position and Greg Debora moved in his last 255,000 as well. Debora's {A-Spades}

had Rahme's {A-Clubs}

dominated and after the {7-Clubs}

flop Debora turned the {Q-Hearts}

, making the {5-Spades}

that fell on the river a moot point. Rahme has been eliminated and Debora is up to around 400,000.

Our Schedule Today

[user75032]

Jack Effel has informed the players that the schedule for the day is to play out the rest of Level 19 (about 38 minutes), take a quick fifteen-minute break, and then play five more levels, with the dinner break occurring after the end of Level 22. He stressed that the tournament staff (and ESPN, presumably) will be evaluating the situation throughout the day to see what makes most sense.

Level: 19

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 1,000

07-12-2008 12:07 UTC-7

Shuffle Up and Deal!

[user40108]

With the button in the nine seat and the tournament clock reading 38:47 remaining in level 19, the cards are in the air.

Play is scheduled for five levels today, but the tournament staff has just stated that this could be reevaluated depending upon the pace of play.
