Ivey Clipped By Doyle
Doyle Brunson and Phil Ivey have tangled to see Brunson soar up the leaderboard.
Brunson led the betting on every street before both players checked seventh to see the following boards spread out.
Ivey: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Brunson: (X)(X) / 
/ (X)
Brunson showed his 
to rake in the pot and climb to 100,000 as Ivey mucked and slipped to 34,000 in chips.
Schulman Sent Packing
Nick Schulman has been the shortest stack in the tournament for quite some time now.
Unfortunately he was unable to gather any momentum and has just been eliminated by Eric Buchman who now sits with 270,000 in chips.
The Champ Starts Rebuilding
Ellis: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Pescatori: (X) (X) / 
F
Opponent: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Freddie Ellis had a difficult start to the day, but he recently rebuilt his stack to roughly the average after a big three-way pot. We picked up the hand on fourth street, where Ellis had the betting lead. His beat was called by Max Pescatori and one other player.
The third player had the betting lead on fifth street. He checked to Ellis, who fired out another bet. That was enough to take care of Ellis, but the third player called, check-called again on sixth street, and check-called one last time on seventh street. Ellis, in his practiced, deliberate way, called out two pair and carefully turned over 
in the hole for queens and fours. His opponent picked up all seven of his own cards, stared at them for a few seconds, and then mucked.
Ellis now has about 70,000 chips.
Stuart Says Goodbye
Stuart Rutter found himself all in on third street against Jordan Smith with each player's board running out as follows.
Rutter: 
/ 
/ 
Smith: 
/ 
/
With Smith making two pair, Rutter headed to the rail unable to repeat his final table appearance from yesterday in the Event #6: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout where he picked up $179,617 for his third place finish.

Bronstein Folds the River
Bronstein: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Quintero: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Yuval Bronstein has been on a tear today, building his chip stack to about 175,000. That's not the tournament lead, but it's very close. Bronstein found himself in a sizable pot at the river against Refugio Quintero. Bronstein checked the lead and immediately faced a bet from Quintero. Bronstein thought for about a minute before saying, "I didn't improve," flashing two red kings, and folding.
Ellis Can't Knock Out Harman
Mueller: (X) (X) / 
/ (X)
Ellis: (X) (X) / / (X)
Harman: (X) (X) 
/ (X)
Greg Mueller started the action off by completing third street, but Jen Harman ended it by making a full house. After Freddie Ellis called Mueller's third-street bet, Harman raised. Mueller and Ellis both called.
Harman was all in with her open queens on fourth street. Ellis and Mueller called, then checked it down the rest of the way. Harman opened by showdown, making queens full of sevens to triple up. She now has 32,000, Mueller has 115,000, and Ellis -- who just hasn't had a good day -- is down to 35,000.
Doyle Would Rather Be Hungry than Tired
All of the 5pm event at the WSOP -- along with all of the Day 2 restarts -- get a one-hour dinner break after four levels of play. Players at Doyle Brunson's table, including the Godfather himself, have realized that because of the dinner break play will conclude today at about 3am. Brunson is not happy about that.
"I can't find one person that wants the dinner break," said Brunson.
Eric Buchman piped up. "I like the dinner break."
Brunson tried to find a more sympathetic ear in one of the floor people, but he had no success. The dinner break will remain.
"They've got to change these rules," said Brunson.
