Todd Brunson eliminated
Todd Brunson got involved in a pot with his pops, Doyle Brunson, and Yan Chen. Todd ended up all in early in the hand and Chen then bet out Doyle on a later street. Chen rounded off a wheel on sixth street, leaving Todd drawing dead and eliminating him from the tournament.

Chen: (X-X) {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {J-Hearts}-FOLD
Smith: (X-X) {5-Hearts} {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} (X)
Brunson: (X-X) {5-Spades} {J-Clubs} {8-Spades} {10-Hearts} (X)

On fourth street, Yan Chen led with a bet before Justin "BoostedJ" Smith raised. Todd Brunson called and then Chen called. On the next street, Smith led with a bet and both Brunson and Chen called. On sixth, Smith bet showing three of a kind and then Brunson raised. Chen ducked out of the way and then Smith just called.

After seventh street was dealt down to each player, Smith fired another bet into Brunson. Todd made the call.

Smith showed him {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} from his downcards, completing threes full of deuces. Brunson mucked his hand in a disgusted manner. The dealer attempted to grab Brunson's hand and Todd pulled them back saying, "Don't touch my hand." He picked all of his cards back up and tossed them into the muck.

Smith - 180,000
Brunson - 64,000

Perry Friedman ({6-Clubs})({7-Clubs}){7-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {3-Clubs} {9-Spades} ({7-Spades})

We caught this hand just as both players were turning up their seventh street cards, Billirakis all in for his tournament life. Friedman caught a third seven to make trips, and a disgusted Billirakis departed the table, his two pair up in flames.

Friedman is up to 190,000.

Dario Minieri was all in on third street for his last 14,500. He bricked out completely and was busted from the tournament.

David Benyamine and Dustin Sitar both stuck in their last chips on third street against former Main Event champion Greg Raymer. Here's how the boards ran out to eliminate both Sitar and Benyamine:

Raymer: ({8-Spades} {4-Spades}) {6-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {5-Spades}-X
Benyamine: ({9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}) {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades} {10-Hearts}-X
Sitar: ({A-Hearts} {A-Spades}) {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades} {J-Clubs}-X-X

Raymer made a straight on sixth street to eliminate both players from the tournament.

In a four-way pot where Steve Billirakis folded on fourth, Jon Turner gave it up on fifth, and Jeff Lisandro called all the way to the river, Perry Freidman turned up {A-Spades} {8-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {6-Spades} for two pair, fives and deuces, and an 8-6-5-2-A low. Lisandro mucked and Friedman scooped, taking his stack up to 153,000.
