Campbell Crippled Then Busted

James Campbell has been eliminated just a few hands after the break.

Campbell was crippled by Allan Le when the two got it in preflop. Campbell held {8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Le tabled {k-Clubs}[9s}.

The board ran {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Campbell's stack sunk to 40,000 chips. Le's grew to 155,000 chips.

A few hands later we witnessed Campbell stand and leave signifying that he is busto.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Kyle Julius is the first to eclipse a million chips in Event #11.

Julius opened and Hue Mun moved all in for his remaining 230,000 chips. Julius called with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Mun tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The flop was clean, {3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and so too was the turn, the {10-Spades}. The river was yahtzee for Julius though, it was the {6-Hearts}.

Mun's rail exploded in an angry outcry as he packed his things and hit the rail.

Julius is now the owner of heaps, he has 1,100,000 chips.

The Proverbial Two Birds

John Nguyen opened the pot to 20,000 from the cutoff seat before William McMahon moved all in for 58,000 in the next seat over. Action came to Samuel Trickett, and he made the call all in for his last 40,000 as well. Let's have a three-way showdown, shall we?

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
McMahon: {K-Spades} {9-Spades}
Trickett: {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Our intrepid field reporter was momentarily distracted him from catching the board, but king-nine got there with one pair, moving McMahon up to 130,000. That knocks both Nguyen and Trickett out of the tournament, and the big board says 35 players remain.

Taus Doubles Through Frey

Jason Taus and Waylon Frey got all the chips in the middle preflop and it was time for a showdown.

Showdown
Taus: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Frey: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The flop was gold for Taus; {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The {J-Diamonds} turned giving Frey full house outs, but the {K-Diamonds} rivered and Taus' broadway held.

Taus doubled to 170,000 chips and Frey fell to just 70,000.

Race Day

Two key races just took place in the Amazon Room, one with Scott Hamilton and Jeff "YoungSupremacy" Hakim and the other with Eric "AvrilSharapova" Ladny and Alex Bolotin.

Hamilton and Hakim were all in preflop and the hands were opened:

Showdown
Hamilton: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Hakim: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board ran {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Hamilton's threes held doubling him to 445,000 chips. Hakim is left with just 83,000.

Moments later Ladny and Bolotin got all the chips in the center and it was another race.

Showdown
Ladny: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Bolotin: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Again the pocket pair held after the board ran {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Ladny doubled to 540,000 chips and Bolotin dropped to 270,000.

Newcomer Not Going Anywhere

David Newcomer was all in preflop for about 85,000, and he was put to the test by David Randall. Newcomer passed. He turned up {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}, and he was in fine shape against the {10-Spades} {J-Spades} of Randall.

The flop was awfully scary for the at-risk Newcomer as it came out {Q-Hearts} {K-Spades} {3-Diamonds} to give his opponent an open ender. If the flop was scary, the turn was just heart-stopping as the {8-Spades} gave Randall another eight outs to the spade flush.

Somehow, the river was a blank {6-Clubs}, and Newcomer fades the outs to double his way up to about 180,000. Randall has slipped to 465,000.
