The board says that 476 players signed up for Event #18 and evidently some have already busted because there are tables breaking.
Once the tournament staff updates the Remaining section of the board we will surely do the same.

Hoss Drops One
After getting three bets in preflop, Matt "Hoss_TBF" Hawrilenko saw a 
flop with two other players. The woman in the small blind bet out, the cutoff called, and Hoss raised it up. The small blind three-bet, and after the cutoff folded, Hawrilenko called. The turn brought yet another nine, the 
. Matt's opponent bet, and he called. He called once more after the 
river but could only muck when she turned over for nines full of kings. Don't worry, though. Hoss still has 14,000.

Jose JoseJoseJoseeeeeeeee
Jose "Nacho" Ignacio Barbero is here fresh off of his LAPT victory in Lima. Barbero has taken down the past two LAPT Main Events for a total of $529,330.
Barbero is off to a sluggish start today though, and was recently all in holding 
against an opponent's 
.
We don't know exactly when the money got in, but the board looked like this: 
.
The fortuitous deuce on the river doubled Barbero, but he still only has 2,000 chips.
T Soprano Floats Like a Boss
Brock Parker raised from middle position, and only the cutoff joined him to see an 
flop. Parker checked and called when his opponent bet. After the 
on the turn, Parker led out, and the cutoff called. Same deal after another jack fell on the river. Brock tabled 
for runner-runner trips. Nice float. He's got 12,000 now.
Razor Sharp Form
John "The Razor" Phan put in two bets from the cutoff and a player in the small blind defended.
The flop fell 
and the player in the small blind led. Phan put in a second bet and his opponent called.
The turn brought the 
and this time the player in the small blind checked. Phan bet and his opponent called.
Both players opted to check the on the river, and Phan opened 
prompting his opponent to muck. Phan raked in the pot and is now up to 13,600 chips.
Monroe's Stack Not Blingin' Today
We picked up the action on a board reading 
. Teddy Monroe, aka the Iceman, bet out, then called a raise from the button. The river fell the , and Monroe checked. The button bet, and Monroe snapped with . No good, though, as the button turned over 
for a flopped set. Monroe melted down to 3200.
Nacho Liberated
Jose "Nacho" Ignacio Barbero was recently eliminated from Event #18. He was down to less than four bets and got his stack in preflop against two opponents. They checked it down and the hands and board looked something like this:
Barbero: 
Opponent 1:
Opponent 2: 
Board: 
Barbero's king was no good and he was eliminated.
