Damon Busted
"I don't know what happened," said Matt Damon. "When I sat at this table I had chips. That's no longer the case. Damon was just eliminated, stopping right in front of our media table to sign some autographs for fans before passing out a side door of the Pavilion Room.
Damon Dropping
Howard Lederer opened the pot to 1,600 and was re-raised by Chris Ferguson. Matt Damon called but Lederer did not. The flop came all clubs, 
. Ferguson continued for 6,000 and Damon called. The turn was the 
and brought a bet of 8,000 from Damon.
"Jeez man, you probably have me beat. I feel like that character in the Princess Bridge. You think that I think that you think..."
Damon paused, then finished with, "I fold." Ferguson showed the 
.
Gordon Doubles

Cheadle's Ladies Hold
Don Cheadle gave his table a stern warning. "Don't raise unless you have it," he said. "Because it's coming." When action passed to Cheadle, he moved all in with pocket queens. He was called by 
, which was problematic for Cheadle -- he mentioned how many straight had come in at their table. Not this time. Cheadle flopped a queen to make a set and double up.
Where Is Ben Affleck?
"So where is Ben Affleck?" asked Chris Ferguson in the direction of Matt Damon.
"He arrived today. But he emailed me saying that he had a bad migraine and is in bed." responded Damon.
"Yeah he's here in Las Vegas, but just couldn't make it." added Damon once again.

Horns Announce Creason's Departure

Beating Damon: Chan Can't, Seidel Can!
Erik Seidel fired out 7,000 on a 
flop only to have Matt Damon move all in.

Seidel: 
Damon: 
As the announcer Joe Reitman flocked to the table, along with Don Cheadle and Andy Bloch, the dealer delivered the 
on the turn.
"Ace, jack, nine!" screamed Bloch.
The river fell the 
to see the pot pushed to Seidel as Damon slipped to 40,000 in chips.
"You're such a jerk Andy!" stated one of the players.
"I guess Seidel can beat Matt . . . something Johnny Chan couldn't do!" added Bloch.
"Bringing up the movie around Seidel is probably not a good idea" continued Bloch before relocating to sweat a different table, but not before adding, "Johnny f**king Chan!"
